July 18 @ the A's

[LogansDad]

Kike!?!?

Worst player in the league

 

[E5 Yaz]

Oh right, can't let Duran hit against lefties. Sure, whatever Alex.

He's hitting for Chang, I thought

 

[BoSoxFink]

Typical great at bat from Kike

 

[Bergs]

Unforgivable to lose Duran right there.

FUCK

 

[Doc Zero]

Ready to move on from Kiké.

 

[JOBU]

this lineup is quite shit without Devers.

 

[LogansDad]

OMG AND DUVALL FOR DURAN???!! WTF

 

[Coachster]

Wait- Kike struck out? How could that be?

 

[BoSoxFink]

this might be the most pathetic performance by a Sox offense I have seen considering the competition

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Cora sucks pretty badly.

 

[nvalvo]

So far, this has been the classic Red Sox underperformance on the West Coast, but yeah, you’re never really out of a game against these A’s.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Bello better have it tomorrow - this offense is possibly going dead for a week again.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That really sucked

 

[Bergs]

Awful game by Cora.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Games like this remind you how easy it is to take the wins for granted.

 

[BoSoxFink]

Cora cost them a game against one of the shittiest teams in the history of baseball

 

[Bergs]

Games like this remind you how easy it is to take the wins for granted.

It helps to avoid ph AB's by the worst hitter in baseball.

 

[Doc Zero]

Lineup feels like nine Michael Chavises

 

[nvalvo]

Hilariously, if this score holds, Oakland will have a better winning percentage against Boston than New York.

 

[JOBU]

At least it appears as though we won’t be losing any ground in the standings

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Cora cost them a game against one of the shittiest teams in the history of baseball

It’s a three run game.

 

[katnado]

It’s a three run game.

And they can't hit anything

 

[simplicio]

Awful game by Cora.

Why is this game on Cora? He's not swinging a bat.

 

[Doc Zero]

At least it appears as though we won’t be losing any ground in the standings

Yeah but a perfect day to pick up a cheeky game on everyone

 

[JOBU]

Why is this game on Cora? He's not swinging a bat.

It’s not rational. Speaking of which what happened to Ganthem? Did he get banned? Sometimes I miss his shenanigans.

 

[Bergs]

Why is this game on Cora? He's not swinging a bat.

Giving 2023 Kike an AB instead of literally anyone else in baseball while simultaneously degrading your D and removing Duran in the space of 2 outs is bad managing.

and I'm a Cora fan, by and large.

Chang is a .154 hitter. if you hit for him, you still need a SS. The bench is Wong, a Catcher, and Raffi who has the night off and is hurt. Enrique is the only option. I’m really not seeing much of a difference.

 

[nvalvo]

Hello, Bleier.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Cora sucks and is a failure, if only because managers whose teams don't hit are entirely at fault. Everything is Cora, everything sucks when you're part of a loss*

*loss not finalized yet

 

[jmcc5400]

May as well score 4 here.

Kike is a corpse. I would choose leaving Chang in. Also, Kike fucking sucks and he's awful. Lastly, Kike is horrible.

 

[derekson]

The answer is to PH Duvall then bring in Kiké at SS and let Duran hit.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Remember in Moneyball when Beane traded Carlos Peña so Art Howe would stop playing him? Bloom needs to do that with Kike and Cora.

 

[Remagellan]

Kike is a corpse. I would choose leaving Chang in. Also, Kike fucking sucks and he's awful. Lastly, Kike is horrible.

Yes, but really, what about Kike?

 

[jmcc5400]

Missed a hanger

 

[RedSoxFan]

And the Sox are still alive...

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This game is lame. It is a lame game.

 

[Doc Zero]

ALIVE

 

[jmcc5400]

Let’s get one more on and see what Raffy can do

 

[Remagellan]

This game is lame. It is a Blame game.

Fixed it for you.

 

[Bergs]

Yes, but really, what about Kike?

Hmmm...I hadn't considered that.

 

[Archer1979]

Another hit and a home run and we'll be cooking with gas.

 

[LogansDad]

Gross

 

[katnado]

Shutout by the A's, beyond pathetic

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Well, lesson learned. Just showing up is not enough.

 

[JOBU]

Embarrassing effort

 

[jmcc5400]

Damn. Get ‘em tomorrow.

 

[Bergs]

Well that was a shitty evening of baseball.

 

[nvalvo]

Fischer should sell the team.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Damn. Get ‘em tomorrow.
