8/26/23 - LAD @ Sox: Fight Back

[DeadlySplitter]

And Cora proceeds to lose his mind

 

[Ale Xander]

Utgggh

Reyes hurt?

 

[Harry Hooper]

Utgggh

Reyes hurt?

left elbow?

 

[YTF]

Casas unable to play?

 

[Ale Xander]

Holy crap

why not Urias at SS?

 

[ngruz25]

I had to step out for a minute and come back to DOB telling me that Devers is at SS. WHAT.

How is Urias not a better option? That’s nuts.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I know that Urias isn’t a great shortstop, but come on

 

[soxin6]

Fire Cora

 

[patinorange]

Embarrassing.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I'd rather Story come onto the field and lose the DH than risk Raffy out of position.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Devers has all that shift experience as a virtual SS.

 

[Dduncan6er]

Why not just put Story in and lose the DH? It’s already the 6th.

 

[Rovin Romine]

What the everloving fuck is this fucking bullshit?

 

[katnado]

Cora's an idiot

 

[Ale Xander]

Oh great
All we need is a wong Raffy DP

 

[ngruz25]

Urias has played plenty of SS in the majors. This is bananas.

 

[soxin6]

Playing Story at DH was dumb to begin with and now you leave him there and risk Devers at SS?

 

[Ale Xander]

Maybe Cora is asking to be fired and thinks the Dodgers will hire him as an assistant and he can go on their plane tomorrow?

 

[LogansDad]

Sometimes, I wonder if deep down, Alex Cora wants to be fired.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Cora's punting the season.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Urias has played plenty of SS in the majors. This is bananas.

He made that crappy relay to 1B earlier. Maybe he's nursing something.

 

[circus catch]

I dare anyone to name a worse Red Sox defense than this.

 

[soxin6]

Why throw him a strike with a 0-2 count? This team is stupid.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Sometimes, I wonder if deep down, Alex Cora wants to be fired.

Not a chance. Deep down, he’s just not all that good.

 

[patinorange]

Nice 0-2 pitch to the best hitter in the game.

 

[katnado]

Not a chance. Deep down, he’s just not all that good.

This 100% this

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I'm just waiting for the first grounder to not 1st base.

 

[Ale Xander]

I dare anyone to name a worse Red Sox defense than this.

One of the Hobson year
Edit: nope those years had Evans and Lynn

 

[Harry Hooper]

One of the Hobson years

Maybe one of the Lansing years.

 

[Return of the Dewey]

I dare anyone to name a worse Red Sox defense than this.

2001 was a pretty bad defense, IIRC

 

[Harry Hooper]

Ok, that one was actually twisting, O'B.

 

[Ale Xander]

One of the Hobson year
Edit: nope those years had Evans and Lynn

1977 was bad

 

[Return of the Dewey]

2001 was a pretty bad defense, IIRC

Lansing was SS. Offerman/Daubach right side. Hillebrand 3b.

 

[patinorange]

Playing Story at DH was dumb to begin with and now you leave him there and risk Devers at SS?

What is this bullshit? The defense blows and this guy is going to DH every other day. He's either healthy or not. And he's a shitty DH. Casas should also be playing.

 

[mauidano]

Alex had it all figured out.

 

[Ale Xander]

I’ve been a big Cora supporter but this isnnuts

Casas should be the DH (or Devers)
Turner at 1B (or 3B) so you can move him to 2B or 3B (1B) if you need to

you need a backup SS always

 

[InsideTheParker]

Is it impossible for the Sox to come back and win this game? I don't think so.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Sometimes, I wonder if deep down, Alex Cora wants to be fired.

Cora wearing an Underdog shirt in New York last weekend was pretty telling, even if he played dumb about it. I think he’s done with Bloom.

 

[Ale Xander]

What’s the underdog/Bloom reference?

 

[mauidano]

JT trash-talking Kike is the content I am here for.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Shut up, Caron. The Sox are batting now.

 

[Ale Xander]

Justin!!!!

 

[Tony Pena's Gas Cloud]

Gee that Berardino/Freeman matchup would have been useful on a tie game in the 7th last night rather than down two today.

 

[ngruz25]

I was so incredibly wrong about the Turner signing. I thought he was on a slow decline to mediocrity.

 

[Ale Xander]

Shut up, Caron. The Sox are batting now.

This is good advice whether the Sox are playing offense, defense or special teams.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Hey, OB, don't let this Sox rally distract you from The Mookie Betts story.

 

[Ale Xander]

3rd time through order

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Raffy is just going to swing at anything he throws!

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

The new shortstop stinks.

 

[Ale Xander]

50% fail rate is horrible but instill
Love you Raffy
