I know it’s garbage, but OB’s announcers curse works again for the opposition. He blabbed something about the Yankees having trouble scoring runs and immediately they put up a 3 spot.

Put on your big boy managers pants and tell us who you would have brought in? You even have the benefit of hindsight here.

Cora is a fucking Zombie in that dugout.

Ahem. Pivetta pitched a clean 5th with just 70 pitches thrown. Plus the Sox are playing a double header today. Plus he was facing the bottom of the Yankees order in the 6th.

Unfortunately, he hit the leadoff guy and then gave up a grounder single to LF. The real damage was by leadoff LeMahieu's double which drove in one guy and put runners on 2d and 3d with no one out. Then Pivetta got Judge on the pop fly to RF--followed by the double that gave the Yankees the lead, 3-2. That's when the reliever came in and got 2 outs to end the inning.

I'd say Cora got it about right.

iortiz is one of the masters of 20-20 hindsight. I seriously doubt he will answer my direct question to him about about what he would have done.

The "bum" gets 2 outs and holds the line at 3-2.

I don’t care if the Red Sox are playing 10 games today. If you have a chance to win a game you take it. You can’t be choosy at this point. Time is running out. LL is not your best option.

I've been wrong too, but when it happens in favor of the Sox, I love announcing my ignorance.

So enlighten us with what you would have done?

It was a 2-0 freaking lead, for crying out loud. How many times have you read me saying the Sox normally, usually need to score 5 runs to have a shot at winning?

You don’t post and run. If asked a question, you usually answer it and you do it often enough that if you don’t answer, I figure you just didn’t see it.

I think the real question will come if Llovera comes back out. Should be Whitlock shooting for 7th & 8th

Schreiber would have come in before LL.

Used to be a great excuse for an afternoon meeting out of the office

No doubt.

F'ing 9 pitch strike out on a ball well outside and low by Rafaella, leaving the LOBsters a highly refined Boston trait
