If this short series has not convinced even the most die-hard fans and FO that this team will die a hard death if DD doesn't come up with 2 durable, competent relievers, then nothing will. The Sox have been fully exposed on the mound.
I do think 11 run innings are theoretically possible, sort of like wormholes, so I'm focusing on the chance they might win and will not comment again until the Sox take back the lead. Good afternoon to you all.
How do you compete with the Yankees in London or anywhere else ? Go down 6 runs in the first, make a remarkable comeback, then run the Pawsox best out there to shut them down.. This is a game plan???
If I were Shawaryn, when Cora came to the mound, i would have thrown the ball about 40 rows up and said "f*** you, shorty" That way I would never have to play for him again
WTF Cora shows his faith in Mike S. Nice to know Cora has his players back. Alex concedes today and basically doesn't give a damn. He is an embarassment, along with Porcello.
Cora will kill any confidence Sharawyn may have head when he was called up. f*** Cora
I know it was still top 4th, and Cora needs to determine who to rest tomorrow, but how does any responsible manager leave a rookie out on the mound for 40 pitches while getting his head pounded and his team buried. I do think this one deserves a WTF Cora.
It's been said over and over, but you are seeing the cumulative result of dead money contracts, a weak farm system, particularly in pitcher development and an inactive off season . Now the saving grace is 4 WS titles in 14 years.
a700, just look at the advanced metrics and you'll see they are as good or better than 86.923% of any team since 1950, playing in a balanced schedule. Forget the actual performances in front of your eyes or the meaningless W-L record. We are going to the playoffs, baby%
Really tired of seeing the giveaways. Shawaryn was cooked about 9 pitches ago. If it wasn't for DD's lack of planning Mike would be at Pawtucket, not in prime time.
How many rough patches does this team need to survive this year ? It looks like we broke through JBJr's, but now we have Beni, betts and JDM ( to a degree), Sale, Barnes, orcello, Brasier. Getting weary of watching the rough spots.
