    1 HR, and 4 RBI is way better?
  2. Old Red
    The expected was that Mayer wouldn’t start the game tonight. I didn’t know anyone was debating if Mayer was a better defender, or not. I’m certainly not. I guess it’s just another one of your I don’t agree with Cora things, but you don’t think he’s wrong when you really do.
  3. Old Red
    Possibly, but at the very least pure speculation. Posters on here were expecting a lot more from Anthony from what he shown so far. One even asked how high his ceiling is. Right now he’s closer to the floor than any ceiling.
  4. Old Red
    So that makes little Anthony look better? Low bar.
  5. Old Red
    Mayer too was pretty much expected for a part time Suspect was he not?
  6. Old Red
    Definitely? He would have to get the bat off his shoulder, and stop watching all those called 3rd strikes go by first.
  7. Old Red
    I fully understand that, but that’s still something that Mayer, or little Anthony hasn’t done.
  8. Old Red
    He would have more HR, and RBI?
  9. Old Red
    As I’ve said before Duran has been in, and out of the lineup, which most likely makes it harder to get going. I’m not a big Duran fan, but he’s shown he’s better than how he looks so far.

    That doesn’t sway Cora that Mayer may have a better arm, and glove. As for the bats Story does have 17 RBI to Mayer’s 3, you know something that actually shows up on the scoreboard, and Story is still a FT player, and Mayer still is not.

    RAF Man to leadoff tonight, and little Anthony riding the pine. I like it.
  12. Old Red
    With your track record I would say 99.9%.
  13. Old Red
    Mayer is still a part time player, and a SUSPECT hitter, so NO on 1. Duran goes to leadoff, and plays every day. little Anthony gets dropped down even lower.
  14. Old Red
    Just have a set lineup for a couple of weeks would be a novel idea IMO. Duran has been pretty much an everyday player for a few years now, and so has Masa. What Cora had done these 20+ games hasn’t worked. Not everyone has to play, or get days off at this point in the season. Even Abreu who was the best hitter early on has been as bad as anyone lately. Outside of an injury I don’t see any big roster moves, or positional changes in the near future.
  15. Old Red
    He hit one of his ping pong grounders over a drawn in infield the other day, and you were touting Masa for Mayor.🙈
  16. Old Red
    Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Sounds like lots of settling to me, which I said before the season even started.
  17. Old Red
    The way I look at it is the Red Sox are 5 GB. 5 GB just to get to 500, and if you can’t do that it doesn’t matter what all the other teams are doing, or looking at any wildcard dreams.
  18. Old Red
    I’m certainly not sticking up for Duran, but Cora doesn’t help things with his different lineup pretty much every day. I don’t see that’s worked out to good. To say Duran doesn’t deserve to play you’re leaving out others to be right with him.
  19. Old Red
    Just like all those gaudy OPS stats you was talking up in spring training. Especially Duran’s.
  20. Old Red
    The only thing he’s grinding is to keep his average above 100.
  21. Old Red
    But he supposed to be a big production guy according to all his hype. Maybe he needs to go back down to Woo, and see if he can hit again.
  22. Old Red
    Useless, and meaningless stat. little Anthony for instance has 1 HR, and 4 RBI for the season, which is a lot more telling on how he’s done. Stood there TMTC with the bat on his shoulder looking at a called third strike go by. The eye test is a lot more telling than everyone’s measuring stick the OPS. What does Abreu’s OPS look like compared to what has he done for the team lately. Two different stories. Ops isn’t all it’s made out to be.
  23. Old Red
    That was the biggest talking point on another talk show yesterday prior to the game about Cora having so many different lineups, and how it makes it harder to get going for the players in, and out of the lineup the most.
  24. Old Red
    Yes what’s up with his D?🤔
  25. Old Red
    Agree on Chapman. Not the same pitcher early on as last year, didn’t expect him to be.
