The truth of the matter is the 3 major problems facing the SOX at this point are not having Kimbrel closing and the offensive decline of Beni and Betts.
I agree with your post 100%. If Cora doesn't want JBJ in the line-up, it would make more sense to put Pearce in LF. Beni in CF. That way JD remains as the DH. Nunez replacing anybody makes no sense.
Houston doesn't even have a hockey team, so there's that. When it comes to team sports, the SOX are my 1st love and the BRUINS are a close 2nd, so I'm not complaining..
I've tweeted Cora to go back with Betts leading off. He responded with how many games have I won as a manager? I did thank him for not attending the WH photo-shoot.
