    Probably. I just remember BDC and how they blamed every single loss on Francona, the guy with two WS wins, one of which broke the 86 year curse. Talksox is a lot better than BDC, but many still find blaming the manager irresistible. But my real point is that I like the way Cora manages and do think he played a significant role in the 2018 season. Plus I loved last year, especially the postseason. The Sox won 6 of 11 games, beat the Yankees in the wild card, beat the 100 win Rays 3 games to 1 in the ALCS, and took 2 from the Astros without getting a single save.
  2. Maxbialystock
    I actually think the Sox will win this game. What slur?
  3. Maxbialystock
    You bet. Tons of heart.
  4. Maxbialystock
    I probably am a coward--just ask my wife.

    Boy is this ever an uphill fight. Our three best hitters--by a big margin--have 1 very weak single and four K's in 12 freaking at bats. But never fear. The boo birds will find some way to blame Cora if the Sox lose. Brasier back out again tonight. In his last 8 innings (7 games), he has given up 1 run.
  6. Maxbialystock
    No, not Vladimir. If you will go back to last night, you will realize that the bullpen threw three really good innings, and tonight, thanks to Pivetta going the extra (6th) inning, that's all they have to do. Schreiber is way better than the carping critics on talksox give him credit for. He is fearless, and has good stuff, and he has good command. Houck and Whitlock don't even come close. So, no, Vladdy wasn't going to do anything and in fact looked pretty bad. So now 7 innings gone, and six outs to go.

    I do agree Franchy is a little rough at 1b, but that's because he has very little experience. However, I have defended him, not because I think he's great, but because I honestly believe his fielding has not hurt, at least not egregiously. To me first base is a good place to put someone who can hit, but ain't the world's greatest fielder.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Maybe. I have read on talksox that he is the worst fielding first baseman in the last 150 years of American baseball. Ok, not that bad, but almost.
  9. Maxbialystock
    That was not a wild pitch. It was a passed ball by Vazquez.
  10. Maxbialystock
    What's the bet?
  11. Maxbialystock
    Sweet play by Sanchez to whirl around and get the going to 2b.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Schreiber is absolutely the right guy for this. Man on, and top of the order coming up. MLB has a really weird rule that lots of fans don't know about. Runs scored by the other team before the 9th inning actually do count as runs. I have to say that because I keep reading on talksox that the only inning that counts is the 9th inning.
  13. Maxbialystock
    He is not a bum, but he also doesn't come anywhere near earning his pay. Before the game his fWAR was -0.5, and he's getting $8M.
  14. Maxbialystock
    I'm telling you right now--no ifs, ands, or buts--the Jays computers are smarter than the Sox computers. The Sox keep hitting the ball hard right to someone, and the Jays keep hitting weak s*** right through our shifts.
  15. Maxbialystock
    I have written JBJ off, but he has hit the ball hard tonight (plus the K of course).
  16. Maxbialystock
    Don't say that. I've already x'd him out because of his defense.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Agree completely on the first part. Do you want to bet on the second part about les cochons?
  18. Maxbialystock
    Like I said 2 1/2 hours ago, I was definitely looking forward to this game. Too bad I then had to snipe at Devers, JDM, and Bogey who have been invaluable this year. Pivetta goes 6 and gets the quality start just when the Sox absolutely need one!!!!!!!
  19. Maxbialystock
    Devers makes errors, but to me there is no question his head is in the game on defense and he is looking to get someone out. I wouldn't be surprised if he works harder on his defense than on his hitting.
  20. Maxbialystock
    I'm not saying Refsnyder is a great outfielder, but he sure looks like he knows what he is doing out there.
  21. Maxbialystock
    Yes indeed. And that is the great mystery of swinging that bat.
  22. Maxbialystock
    My opinion, only that, is it was about their over-reaction to Kirk's HBP (by Pivetta).
  23. Maxbialystock
    Pivetta at 90 pitches, exactly how many Wacha had last night after 5.
  24. Maxbialystock
    And Verdugo delivers on that exact same fastball JDM can't hit. Fantastic!!! He's had a rotten season, but not lately, and that just might be one of the biggest hits of the season if the Sox can win this game.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Devers now 0 for 3 with 2 popups and the K. JDM gets two fastballs in the freaking geometric center of the plate--and misses one and fouls the other off. And off goes JDM to celebrate for hitting a fair ball popup to CF that almost dropped in. All by himself he avoided 3 of 3 K's! Bogey breaks the curse with a brilliantly placed grounder/single to 3b!!!! The heart of the Sox order is back in business.
