Independence from blackouts seems to be a pipe dreamI would like to say that I really appreciate that even when all of the MLB games are free on MLB.tv for the 4th of July.... Blackouts still apply.
5 last game. Let's go for 6!Got the hard part of the cycle
let’s go another 4 hit game
This pitching change is goodThis drives me crazy. Why not give Bernardino more of a chance? This kind of managing drives me NUTS!
Huh? The plan was to get him through the lefties. He was always an opener. This isn't about the hit he just let up.This drives me crazy. Why not give Bernardino more of a chance? This kind of managing drives me NUTS!
I guess y'all don't hate Ort as much as I do. Edit: if Loomer's right and it's only a bridge to Murphy, I'm okay with it.Huh? The plan was to get him through the lefties. He was always an opener. This isn't about the hit he just let up.
I loathe the man.I guess y'all don't hate Ort as much as I do.
Well, maybe you were right.I guess y'all don't hate Ort as much as I do. Edit: if Loomer's right and it's only a bridge to Murphy, I'm okay with it.
No we all hate OrtI guess y'all don't hate Ort as much as I do. Edit: if Loomer's right and it's only a bridge to Murphy, I'm okay with it.
EDit #2: see what I mean about Ort?
Cora seems to disagree. Loves him for some reason.Ort is just an awful pitcher
Same with #5Cora seems to disagree. Loves him for some reason.
Don’t abort yetOrted on The Fourth Of July. Time to fire up the grill.
We finally got rid of Brasier, so Cora has to torment us with a new trash reliever.Cora seems to disagree. Loves him for some reason.
Pats should sign himThe Blizzard's footwork is abominable.
That decision really Ort-circuited the Ranger rally.What is Cora doing even using a righty against a lineup that demolishes them? Third best wRC+ in the league against righties and yet here's the worst one in the bullpen for some reason.
That was the plan going in. Ort was going to pitch to the bottom part of the order. Ort failed here, not Cora. And it was probably driven by the front office.What is Cora doing even using a righty against a lineup that demolishes them?

Well of course Bernardino wasn't going to pitch more than an inning, it's the choice of a bad righty in Ort over Murphy or Walter that's confounding, be it Cora's decision or the FO's. Weird bad planning.People fully blaming Cora on what was clearly the gameplan decided before the game, lol.
Maybe Bernadino can't go that much longer. I do think the front office is forcing Ort in there.
It was clearly the whole plan. LHP Bernardino for the top half of the lineup, mostly lefties. ShitHP Ort for the bottom half, mostly RHB/switch. Back to the LHP Murphy for the top.People fully blaming Cora on what was clearly the gameplan decided before the game, lol.

Oooh. It's Mr. Crossword.An "ort" is defined as a "scrap" ... seems about right
Yes, Ort failed. What a surprise.That was the plan going in. Ort was going to pitch to the bottom part of the order. Ort failed here, not Cora. And it was probably driven by the front office.
And I am not a Cora apologist when it comes to bullpen usage.
not the entire at-bat. strike 3, yesArroyo got absolutely boned that whole at bat. What a joke.
First pitch, too. Was consistent, though, exact same spot.not the entire at-bat. strike 3, yes
This is a really good point.The problem is that the Red Sox don't want to bring up their actual good relievers because of the 40-man roster crunch & all the guys on the 60 day DL so we just get a bunch of fungible guys like Ort/Garza/Jacques/Scott/Kluber.
It's fine long term planning & I think will make for a really good bullpen in '24... but it makes this season kind of frustrating.
