Detroit just tied Houston.Treading water in the WC chase. Everyone else won and Hoston winning.
TodayWater Walker ends it with a lazy fly to center.
What a fun game. I love baseball.
Yeah, this. It was actually a perfect double-switch opportunity with Refsnyder making the last out of the 7th and both Abreu and Yoshida on the bench.Totally agree with this. I am happy they won and I am not a baseball manager but if what i have read on here that Cora could have removed Refsnyder after his out and put Martin in that line up spot so as to have him available to come out again for the 9th we that is not good managing.
And Detroit ties that game!Treading water in the WC chase. Everyone else won and Hoston winning.
Think he’s finally got his timing back. Story showing signs too.Duvall is heating up
Except Cora was probably not eager to put either one out in LF at that stage of the game. Abreu presumably unacquainted with the Wall.Yeah, this. It was actually a perfect double-switch opportunity with Refsnyder making the last out of the 7th and both Abreu and Yoshida on the bench.
2nd and 3rd 1 out has a run expectancy of 1.39, with 2 out it's .55. So you're giving up .84 runs, I'll call it .8 because a small percent of the time Martin walks or gets hit even if they know he isn't swinging.Show your work.
Couldn’t he have moved Duval to Left and put Abreu into center? I totally see what you are saying but I just think the pitcher for the 9th would be more important.Except Cora was probably not eager to put either one out in LF at that stage of the game. Abreu presumably unacquainted with the Wall.
I don't see that. Looks like Houston leading by 2.And Detroit ties that game!
Have another one buddy!Cora flat out won that game. Martin in the 8th was brilliant. PH for him also brilliant
Whatever you're drinking please shareCora flat out won that game. Martin in the 8th was brilliant. PH for him also brilliant
Detroit tied it first. The Houston scored 2.I don't see that. Looks like Houston leading by 2.
Also got Raffy's feet wet at shortstop, so he can play way more innings there going forward.Cora flat out won that game. Martin in the 8th was brilliant. PH for him also brilliant

It's a shorter throw for him too.Also got Raffy's feet wet at shortstop, so he can play way more innings there going forward.
You and me both brother. I turned off the PC and checked my cell phone 5 minutes later. There was NO way in the world I could watch that.I had to leave the house once the bases were loaded, but my husband watched it for me. I may have gotten West Nile virus out there, the mosquitoes were so thick. But I didn't have a heart attack watching Betts hit with the bases loaded, so that's a good thing.

Cora survives one of his worst games.
Within two posts of one another.Alex Cora is a genius. Say no more.

You guys do as you need, but, to me, you have to take the bad with the good in these kinds of games and watch the whole thing. Otherwise, you could miss historic defensive or pitching half innings we've had with, for example, Pedro or Foulkey or Derek Lowe. Of course, any physical condition that people have that might be aggravated by stress and I back off. For example, Vinny Testaverde's dad couldn't watch Vinny play for Vinny's last few years because of his heart condition.You and me both brother.

Yeah, my friends have been telling me for a long time that I would love it. Now that I have the free trial, I suppose I should give it a try.For those of you who, like me, signed up for Apple TV+ to watch last night's (and last week's) game, if you haven't already, check out Ted Lasso. I am 5 episodes in an it is one of the more enjoyable shows I have watched recently.
I would do the same, but my hatred for Apple is such that I won't give it a fair shake. Fuck Apple. Hard. With handcuffs on. Superglue their lips shut.Yeah, my friends have been telling me for a long time that I would love it. Now that I have the free trial, I suppose I should give it a try.
That series is great. Also, Coda is an excellent movie, and Hijack another terrific series.For those of you who, like me, signed up for Apple TV+ to watch last night's (and last week's) game, if you haven't already, check out Ted Lasso.

Dude is resurging all over the damn place!Duvall is so good.
It's well worth it. Upbeat without being saccharine. While being totally saccharine. While being somehow not overselling anything at all. It's kind of amazing really.Yeah, my friends have been telling me for a long time that I would love it. Now that I have the free trial, I suppose I should give it a try.
The Twitter link says that Alex Verdugo is the first Red Sox to lead-off three consecutive games with home runs. There are two other players who have done that, including one-time Soxer, Brady Anderson, who did it with the Os in 1996, beginning with a game against Boston.

I think they'll pitch to him. They shouldn't care anything about that kind of record. Kind of thing if he hits the fourth, they'll "tip their cap". What are the odds anyway?ESPN says third time it has been done since 1900. I hope they pitch to him today

Wade Boggs hit 24 HR in 1987, a number he never approached in any other season. Wonder why?Wonder why?
He always said he could hit more home runs if he muscled up and went for the long ball at the expense of some batting average. Oh, but he led the league with a .363 BA that year.Wade Boggs hit 24 HR in 1987, a number he never approached in any other season. Wonder why?
It was the year of the juiced ball. Everyone hit a ton of homers in 1987.Wade Boggs hit 24 HR in 1987, a number he never approached in any other season. Wonder why?
Reyes is in the starting lineup todayIt was the year of the juiced ball. Everyone hit a ton of homers in 1987.
If both Devers and Reyes are banged up, you have to put Reyes on the IL and get someone else up. Even if he'll be better in a couple of days, the team can't get by with a two man bench.
