    Cora should have a quick hook ready for Steady Eddie this inning. One gets on, make a move. Would be ecstatic with a 1-2-3 inning by ERod. Forgot the rule requiring Workman to start a clean inning, but let's see what happens, hopefully good stuff, lots of strikes.

    If Jackie had an option, he would be down. Chavis definitely brought another look to the Sox and helped some games. Doesn't change the fact that his hitting is very undeveloped yet. Having trouble identifying the momentum you say the team now has.

    VAZ picked him ! Now make the call

    Got to love Verlander's approach to Chavis. Want some cheese ? Here's its yours. The reality is that Chavis has all the power in the world but no real approach to hitting. He can either develop at the MLB level over 2 or 3 years or go back to Pawsox and do so in one.

    Rafi and JD just confirmed the selection of the dink/dunk methodology today. Don't want to take away a save oppo for the BP

    Houston playing defense like some amateurs. Now capitalize on it with a bomb and send Verlander home to Ms. Upton

    Thanks for listening Beni---you are getting better by the minute

    Amazing what can happen when you put the ball in play. Now Beni needs to steal second. Beating Verlander... for now

    Happy to have Devers on this team, and happier to see JDM crank a 325' rope to left off Verlander who was teasing him outside.

    I know physical size doesn't mean anything in baseball, but our OF'ers ( not JDM) are no taller than 5'-10" and under 200. It will be no contest in a real brawl. I worry about these little guys.

    Beni picked up the run for which I am appreciative. But I just can't see myself ever being that young man's biggest fan. As Jung says, Beni has a good PR Dept.

    Sox making Verlander wqork a little, now up to Beni. Gulp

    As I tell my grandson, keep your head in the game and be baseball ready. Now Pearce is on third instead of being DP'ed by Bradley.

    Amen. The real key is, as you point out, the virtual same crew only 7 months agao was concluding a WS year with total domination against 3 very good teams. Was it a fluke ? No ! But now , after 52 games, and plenty of rest breaks, they don't execute fundamentals, day after day on a rotating basis around the lineup or on the mound. Yes, very frustrating and we will not tolerate this complacency much longer before we sue !!

    It is actually more a comment on Benintendi's incompetence with a bat in his hand. Pearce was not on the roster when they went 17-2, he came later. But you are right, Cora could restack this lineup from bottom to top and they would neither lose nor gain very much
  16. vegasbob
    I do think they might benefit from a 10 day DL, as painful as that sounds. He is simply not near the hitter he has been up to a few weeks ago. I'm sure he's doing a ton of cage hitting as well, not helping things. The only thing WTF Cora needs to prepare for this year is the one game play-in.
  17. vegasbob
    Chavis takes the 3-0 pitch, then swings at ball 4 , only to take a nice strike for the punchout. Verlander must laugh when a rookie comes up.
  18. vegasbob
    How long do we have to wait for Cora to relent on making Betts leadoff, and dropping Beni at least to second , if not lower ? I look at the lineup and see the problem down the lineup card, Pearce , Nunez, and Bradley clogging the pipeline. The Sox cannot winn this year with those 3 in a row. Maybe Beni goes 7th and breaks up that string.
  19. vegasbob
    No Arm Nunez and No catch Vazquez combine for allowing a run in the first, but it's still early. Correa came through with a CLUTCH hard hit ball
  20. vegasbob
    D. O'Brien called Correa a CLUTCH hitter based on 8 walk-offs . So CLUTCH must exist.
  21. vegasbob
    SS, it's not the 29th . But " Life is what happens while Cora is busy making other plans"
  22. vegasbob
    It's one thing for a reliever (Barnes) to get beat by decent hitting, but a whole other when they simply cannot throw a strike to a general location as displayed by the catcher. When in doubt, make the hitter execute. You will still get beat on occasion but you won't beat yourself with a drawn in infield because your throwing is wild.

    From today's story on his return to Boston to see the medical staff, I now think we are right on the verge of the previously mentioned 60 day IL , right up to next season . Dustin will get paid, the roster slots and Red Sox minor league teams won't be holding anyone back. So this may be the ending, a quiet one with an announcement next Spring. Takes the Sox off the hook PR wise, and Pedey gave it his all as usual trying to comeback. I'm with Dewey about Machado needing to experience some discomfort . San Diego's only 70 miles to the South, so Guido and his kneeknocker may be heading that way.

    Apologies. I was out socializing and didn't see the game, so thought I would just make some stuff up. Watched the recap videos this morning and feel much better about our team's efforts. Just a frustrating season for all concerned, but you guys on this site keep it amusing and informative.

    For those who called a sweep vs the Astros or even a 2-1 outcome, you do not recognize what you are seeing day in-day out. The Sox are a disorganized hot mess right now with little direction or motivation. WTF Cora is flailing away trying to find the magic wand, but it's stuck in a dark place right now. JDM, the only serious hitter here, is broke-backed and incapable of delivering. Your Ace Chris Sale cannot win any game he enters, not all his fault. This is a 88 win team going down a drain that is sweeping them into the pits of baseball history. Oh yeah, to hell with all the NBA commentary, nobody gives a damn.
