Liking 1,2,3 in our batting order. I think Cora should stick with this even if Beni is in the lineup.
Benintendi is 'banged up' per Cora.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
My bad forgot it was an early start time. Stupid work.
Hope Sale rebounds. His last start was not the greatest.
Though I think there is a possibility that Beni is banged up, I think our boy Alex is sliding into Farrellisms. We are going to "protect" David Price. Beni is "banged up". Ah...... fond memories of those Farrellisms.
Then again, I don't have fond memories of that walking Port-o-potty walking out to the mound for pitching changes. Cora can't duplicate any of that on a bet.

Which believe it or not I am fine with if we are winning the division by a mile. Being that we are tied for a second Wildcard spot and really can't afford to lose this game with the Yanks coming up I would be absolutely pissed to find out he is resting guys when he shouldn't.
Maybe WTF got tired of watching Beni half ass run out ground balls,granted he has not been the only one, but sometimes you just need to make an example out of someone on the playground.
If you were informed before the season started that the SOX Ace would be 3-7 at the exact half-way point of the season, what would you have guessed the SOX W/L record would be?
When listing starting pitching, the two stats that I believe give the most indication of the pitcher's season is ERA and WHIP.
Based on Sale's WHIP 1.02, his ERA 3.59 is unusually high.

Honestly I would predict right where we are at. I would have still thought our offense would carry us and we would get some wins there plus we still have Price and Porcello. I wouldn't have predicted another World Series type year but I would have still thought we would be competing for a wild card spot which we are
