    Not an ERod fan, but agree it makes sense to give him a real shot. I do not think a 6 man rotation is needed. Better I think to have Johnson/Velazquez for long relief, to say nothing of the value of having a spare arm--which has already been the case--for the rotation. Up ahead is the return of Pomeranz and maybe even Wright.

    Re: the discussion about JBJ. Cora is clearly experimenting, which he said he would to before the season started. Plus we are 9 games into a 162 game season, we are 8-1, and these experiments have demonstrably not prevented us from winning games. They have, on the other hand, given Cora an eyeful of what Beni can do in CF and JD in LF and RF. That can't be all bad.
  3. Maxbialystock
    Agree JBJ makes a difference in the OF, especially in comparison to Beni.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Anything new on Bogie?

    Ball game!!!!! 8 straight!!!!!

    I'm stupefied I tend to give up before the fun starts. In this case, I kept watching because it's on the mlb network. Like I said on another thread, Cora may be lucky, but what the heck is wrong with that? 8 earned runs after 10 earned runs. The Yankees and their fan jacksonianmarch just might be a little less cocky coming to Fenway for 3.

    One would hope JBJ to CF and Beni back to LF. Martinez going 0 for 4 makes that a little easier. Besides, with Swihart on the bench, he could pinch hit for JBJ if it goes to extra innings, play LF, and send Beni back to CF.

    Land 'o goshen. Looks like betting Devers 8th--I sure hope not too often--was genius because it did indeed revive the moribund bottom third of the order. Any way you look at it, a stupendous, vintage Fenway rally by this year's Sox.
  9. Maxbialystock
    We can all agree on that. A year ago, not so much, but right now he is like the franchise player.
  10. Maxbialystock
    He did it because he has done it many, many times before--flip it to the thirdbaseman. It was a reaction play and he simply forgot he was in fact the left wing of the infield. Usually on a shift to the right he is between the secondbaseman and the thirdbaseman.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Actually, he looked very athletic to me. To me the unathletic guys out there out there today were JD and ERod.
  12. Maxbialystock
    No doubt, no doubt. Batting Devers 8th is why we are down 7-2 in the 8th.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Fine. Then I disagree with you calling out our best hitter who is also busting his bust on every play this year--and saying he is a dumbass.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Not inexplicable. He reacted because he rarely ever is the left most guy in the infield and just assumed there would be someone there.
  15. Maxbialystock
    You really do like attacking these guys, don't you? Is there anything about any of the players or the team you actually like?
  16. Maxbialystock
    He did it because he's used to having a thirdbaseman there and immediately saw his mistake and hustled his butt. Hard for me to gripe about that, but feel free to do so.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Nice combo today: ERod stunk, no surprise; bullpen stinks, a surprise: hitting disappeared again; fielding so-so, but still no errors. I hope JD in the outfield will occur less and less. Ditto Moreland at 1B.
  18. Maxbialystock
    ERod has always had pretty good stuff, not not pretty good location. JBJ benched again today with Beni going to CF, JD to LF, and Moreland playing 1b and batting 6th, with Devers going down to 8th, no doubt to try to revive the bottom of the order.
  19. Maxbialystock
    He was a former pitching coach who knew that accumulated pitches for a season were and are a factor. If anything, last year he let Sale, in his first year with the Sox, throw too many innings and pitches in the first four months. There is a reason why every MLB manager has 12 pitchers on his 25 man roster and just 13 position players.
  20. Maxbialystock
    It was a 10-2 game in the 8th. Who cares whether Porcello gave up another run after 7 excellent innings? This pitching staff has the lowest ERA ever for a Sox team—granted, just the first eight games—and you think Cora is clueless?
  21. Maxbialystock
    JBJ is hitless, but has made good contact. Nunez saved us last year. Sandy is in there to keep Porcello focused or whatever--and it seems to be working.
  22. Maxbialystock
    And breezy. Think wind chill factor. Or Robert Frost: The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day When the sun is out and the wind is still, You're one month on in the middle of May. But if you so much as dare to speak, A cloud comes over the sunlit arch, A wind comes off a frozen peak, And you're two months back in the middle of March.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Gotcha.
  24. Maxbialystock
    5 K's in 5 innings and 0 walks. Inspiring.
  25. Maxbialystock
    This game is all Porcello's. First he inspires the lineup to find their grooves. Now he's mowing the Rays down. This guy can do everything. Forget Sale and Price--Rick is our man.
