    Can't believe Cora is throwing in the towel on the season!!!

    This is the best defensive lineup he can field. The Sox are leaking runs all over the AL East. It’s mostly the pitching, but the defense has been soft too.

    Plus the only good bat not in the lineup is Schwarber, a lefty bat vs a lefty Orioles starter.

    He should have never told the team to choke.

    Cora isn’t. The team, especially the bullpen, is playing scared. And win one for the Gipper doesnt work in MLB.

    Again, I never said Schwarber was a clearly better choice. I just pointed out the 230 point better split. That equates to one more time on base per 4 ABs. I guess he might make two errors, tonight.

    I like having a better D, and Dugo is way better, but it’s doubtful LF defense comes into play as much as 4 ABs.

    I love how people think it’s as easy as the manager just telling the guys to loosen up.

    too bad JD plays for the O’s- cause we got only chokes on our team.

    Pretty good numbers, 4 AB’s vs chances for a good left fielder to make a difference. Thanks.

    I don’t care as much as you about the defense, but right now the Sox pitching scares me.

    @OverTheMonster
    Eovaldi has three whiffs on 59 pitches last time out. He's got seven on 25 tonight
