The radio guys on ESPN were all over Beni. I think he plays just fine. He excels at big times, big catches, and big hits. And let's face it. They even did an analytics and Beni's throws are more accurate to 2b than just about any LF in the game.

I haven't seen a caddy get so much forum time spent on him---Swihart---since Michel Bunny Laroque for the late 1970s Habs. Dryden played every game, Laroque would get a shot from the bench grinning and his name on the Cup a few too many times....f***ing Habs!!!!....Go Sox!!!!

Swihart delivered when it counted...pouring champagne in the locker-room celebrating...execution on that was off the charts good.

Sox first innings of 04,07,13,18...run machine 12 runs i think

One thing we need to see is Xander getting back to being aggressive on first pitches...he is taking way too many groove fastballs on first pitches, then swings at breaking balls or high fastballs later in count.

moon, Ralph Houk!!! just kidding.

Baez cruising after 2 dominating Ks....no reason to pull him. Brasier not cruising, shaky, but Cora keeps faith and has him pitch to Machado...fly out, no real damage, one run. Then he pulls him and gets Eduardo on lefty-lefty. Cora manages 1 inning for his pitchers (cept for Eduardo his specialist), Roberts managed for matchups. Big difference. And Nunez batting for Devers could have been considered a mistake but Cora just seems to manage better than everyone else

Cora is a f***ing genius...But to anyone who thinks he can't in-game manage, he tooled Roberts...bottom line

I'm just hoping for Porcello in the 8th.

Ralph Houk

Vodka, lots of vodka...Its the Kimbrel TightRope Act cure for all that ails you

Cora is a genius again...

enjoy the drama, Cora...f***

Make sure a dead team like Houston get the fans going by going to GasLamp District

Cora is no longer a f***ing genius

Our bullpen is the starting staff

Cora is a f***ing genius

Sent the contracts after the deadline...nice job!!!

Right, Max, and the whole rally was generated by wildness of Kimbrel...including the near HR on the sac fly...forced to throw a meatier pitch than had he just gotten ahead of him.

Carl Mays was a beast. Agreed.

Price should start, he's a starter, and starters should start.

LOL, note

Not resigning Jon Lester long-term, but throwing a boat-load of money to Panda, then Price is No. 10

Worst Decisions in Sox Baseball History 1. McCarthy turning to Denny Galehouse (rocks) for the 48 AL championship playoff despite having Parnell and Kinder rested. 2. Not sending Dave Stapleton to play 1st as a defensive replacement in Game 6, 1986 WS 3. Selling Ruth to the Yankees, and never properly understanding how important Ruth could be as a full-time hitter 4. Pinch hitting for a cruising Willoughby with nobody on base for then futile-hitting Cecil Cooper in the 8th inning of Game 7, 1975 WS 5. Leaving in Pedro after his expiration date, 2003 ALCS Game 7 6. Bill Lee somehow thinking he get away with another blooper pitch to Tony Perez and giving new life to the Reds in Game 7, 1975 WS 7. McNamara holding a grudge against Sammy Stewart, thus forcing Schiraldi to be called on way too often in 1986 playoffs. Pitched lights out early in WS, but had a shaky performance v. Angels, and then went to pieces late 86 WS. 8. The Sox allowing Ted Williams to play in a meaningless exhibition game v. AL All-Stars right before the 1946 World Series. Williams plunked on elbow, badly bruised, was in constant pain as he hit woeful .200 in Series v. Cards. 9. Not making any effort to re-sign Adrian Beltre after his monster one 2010 season in a Sox jersey after a .321, 28 HR, 102 RBI and his career-best 49 doubles.

Buckner was playing on two bad ankles. He barely could walk, let alone play the field. The Sox also lost that series because they couldn't turn to MVP Don Baylor at DH at the New York, or they could have tried to have him at first base. Baylor having to not start hurt the Sox as much as in '75 when the Sox had to play both Cooper and Beniquez because Rice was out for season with a broken wrist courtesy of Vern Ruhle.
