The Yankems play Tampa after this series and the Rays will provide tougher competition. It would have been nice to clinch in front of Yankem fans, but I doubt that will happen. Let's just hope the SOX don't lose HFA before the season's over.
With this BP the best way for Cora to determine who should come in is by putting each BP pitcher's name in a hat, except for Kimbrel, and pulling a name from the hat. It will be just as effective as Cora sitting there and thinking about it.
Actually it does matter because there's no switch to turn on an offense. This offense has been mostly weak since the ASB and there's no hint at this point that it's gonna turn around in 2 weeks.
One thing I'll say about Cora; if he fails down the line as a manager, he would make an excellent manager of a retirement home. Everyone will get a lot of rest.
