    Hope you are right.
  2. Old Red
    Your right. EO should have started game 1, and ERod game 2. Sale shouldn’t have started any game.
  3. Old Red
    Then why did you pass over that play, which was just as important? Both teams scored, because of them.
  4. Old Red
    I don’t blame Sale at all, but this isn’t the time to work on things.
  5. Old Red
    Sale hasn’t pitched a complete game in his last 3 games combined.
  6. Old Red
    If you are going to talk about the tough play at 2B then you also have to mention the tough play at 2B by Altuve that would have been the 3rd inning in a row hitting into a DP, and the Sox wouldn’t have scored that inning.

    I don’t care who the manager would have been, and made the same moves as Cora did last night I would have said the same thing, so this has nothing to do with if I like Cora, or not. The most important game last night was last nights game, and not starting your best pitcher to me was not a good move, and the game was there to be taken. Cora walks on water on here, and all I was saying is that if he gets praise for the decisions he makes when they win then he can be criticized for the moves he makes when they lose. I think it’s over the top to say Cora is a genius, but he does get criticized by the news media, and talk shows, so it’s not just me. If Cora knows more than any of us I would like to know what he knew about Sale that he would let him start that game last night, because that has set the tone for the whole series, and hopefully that tone can be changed.

    I didn’t say you couldn’t win using 7 pitchers. I said it can’t be sustained, and I was talking about the Sox pitching staff, and not Houston’s. Look I’ve got a news flash for you that Cora is no genius, and he does make mistakes like everyone else’s, and it pains some of you to say anything bad about him. He isn’t made of stone, and he won’t break. If Sale would have come back like E Rod did, and pitched a good game last night it would have been nothing, but praise for Cora, and what a genius move it was, but it didn’t happen that way, and he can get criticized. This is Boston, and it happens all the time, so if it’s all Because of Cora’s decisions when they win then it can be his fault, because of his decisions when they lose, and I didn’t see many good decisions last night.

    Cora gets praised for all the moves he makes all the time. He’s been called a genius, and even that he has made less mistakes than any other manager in baseball this year. If he can get praised for all the moves he makes when they work then he can get criticized for all the moves he makes when it doesn’t work, and last night he made plenty of moves that didn’t work. It’s alright to criticize Cora it doesn’t mean you don’t like him, or anything. What Cora did, before in his decision making had NOTHING to do with the decisions he made for last nights game. Tell me what decisions he made last night that worked out from starting Sale to pinch hitting Santana.

    I just hope Cora does a better job managing today. I said before yesterday that EO should have pitched yesterday, and I feel the same way today. Nothing against Sale, and he gave it all he had, which just isn’t that good in this point of the season. You don’t hold your #1 starter back. When Sale got taken out Cora should have gone to a long man at that point, and not a short man The Sox were only down 1 run in the 8th, and he brought in the Sour Man, who hadn’t pitched in over a week, and he gave up what turned out to be the winning run. I think there were better options to bring in at that point. Pinch hitting Santana? I wouldn’t pinch hit Santana for anybody.
  11. Old Red
    The Sour man hadn’t pitched in a while, and it’s not like he had been lights out anyway. They were only down 1 when he came in, and I wouldn’t pinch hit Santana for anybody.
  12. Old Red
    This game was there for the taking. EO should have started this game.
  13. Old Red
    Was the Sour man the best guy they could have brought in to start the 8th only down 1 run?
  14. Old Red
    Just because it worked against Tampa doesn’t mean it will work against Houston. Some of these guys have thrown lots of pitches.
  15. Old Red
    When’s the last time the Sour man pitched?
  16. Old Red
    Just when you think you know the answers I change the questions.
  17. Old Red
    When’s the last time the Sour man pitched?
  18. Old Red
    Over managing.
  19. Old Red
    A wasted AB right there.
  20. Old Red
    Implode Imploded.
  21. Old Red
    You can’t keep pitching 7 guys a night, and sustain the success.
  22. Old Red
    Kike is a adventure out there tonight.
  23. Old Red
    Because Sale couldn’t get out of the 3rd.
  24. Old Red
    Sale gave it everything he had, but it was a real struggle.
  25. Old Red
    No doom, and gloom tonight. Let’s keep it rolling.
