  1. But I'm not the one who pulls the guy with 2 outs in the 5th to f*** up his win after the guy ran the bases for you. If you didn't know after the 4th that Johnson was beginning to run low on fuel, then you would be Cora.
  2. Classic Red Sox : 3 hits to load the bases but understand with Johnson in the leading position
  3. Any thought of running for Johnson and shake his hand on leaving with a lead?
  4. OK, third time through the lineup, time to blast Roark
  5. Like last night, 3 isn't going to win tonight. More like 6 or 7. Betts and JDM need to wake up.
  6. Speaking of the HR Derby, I assume JDM will be asked to do it, but if I were him, no way. Seen a few guys swings ruined by that farce when the second half got under way. I do recoomend Stanton and Judge wear themselves out
  7. Johnson , good for 3 but not 4 gives up back to back hits to #8 and the pitcher.
  8. Mitch hurt himself flagging down Devers off target throw and twisting back fast to tag the base. Devers then watches 2 good pitches go past him with 2 on and no outs. Free swinger, no way. But he's young and it is early
  9. Quick DD, trade Swihart to the Nats for Collins.
  10. Steve Pearce subbing for tight back Mitch Moreland gets another knock
  11. Johnson gets a 3 inning shutout so far, on 43 pitches. Wonder if Joe Kelly, Matt Barnes, David Price, Erod are tuned into NESN so they can see how a guy with limited talent and basic a junkball repertoire gets it done. Granted he is up against a .500 team that is declining but all the Nationals still belong to the MLBPA. I bet Pomeranz's 4 HR's allowed for Pawsox last night got DD excited.
  12. Top 3 guys in the lineup tonight choosing not to participate. Johnson needs three good innings to get a win qualification.
  13. Oh, the Nunez haters who want Holt, like myself. Actually I credit Nunez with doing what he can with limited talent left in his body. No real complaint but would still start Holt day to day with Nunez off the bench. But then I don't get Cora money for having opinions
  14. Soto shows the benefit of a tactical bunt. JBJr started using this and should continue until the shift shifts in his favor
  15. 7 pitch, 3 out first inning against a less than stellar starter
  16. The baggage is likely lack of self confidence combined with self loathing while putting a tough guy face on for the veneer. I suspect Price and others who have problems with pressure really don't believe they have the right stuff and their conscious mind overrides their actual abilities. Got that from a placard at the Holiday Inn Express last night
  17. Going back to last Friday, the regular offense has scored 1 , 11, 1 and 1 plus Porcellos 3 run double. The 1's don't get the prize. A win tonight behind Johnson et alia would be a big deal. Nationals are only 1 game over .500 vs the Sox 28. Who would you bet on?
  18. Cora is making another error here, leaving Benintendi in ( instead of tomorrow off) and putting Nunez in for Holt at 2B is not playing the hot hand. This is a game of trends and streaks both good and bad. I 'm not getting Cora here. And it isn't any lefty/righty matchup BS
  19. Hope the Sox find a way to become Price-less in the future, sooner than later, subject to change of heart without notice if he can beat the Orioles.
  20. John Stirling would be the absolute worst next door neighbor and Susan Waldman who i know, would be #2
  21. That can help offset the 4 games not yet played by NYY . As hsrd as it is to maintain a .667 record over a season, neither Sox nor NY are letting up much. Since the 17-2 opening, the Sox are now 40-27 or .597 which by itself would be a 96 win pace. Yankees had a similar streak later so they remain tightly bunched but light years ahead of other teams except the Astros. ALDS and ALCS may be one for the ages. in the WC play -in game, one team's fans butts will be eating sofa cushions as their 100 win team plays a much weaker record.
  22. Great news if they can make it stand
  23. Beni, Bogie, Moreland, Devers go 1 for 16 , followed by 3 for 3 Holt , who did get caught trying to run on a good LH'er.
