The Millennials crack was especially stupid. My question upthread about who you’d rather have at bat (facing, say, Sabbathia, Chad Green or Chapman) in game 6 of a playoff game probably looks like a “myth of clutchiness” thing, but its more about the Sox needing a HR threat off the bench. (Dating myself,) I’m thinking Bernie Carbo. A lefty like Carbo might be better, but the Sox have plenty of bats-left in the lineup and on the bench. A strict L/R platoon with Moreland at first would have preserved a left and right power pinch hitter option, with Hanley getting the short end of the stick. Cora seems to think Hanley would have sulked in that role. Seems to me that Hanley has risen to the occasion when he’s had something to prove. Cora is in the clubhouse and I’m not, so he’d know better. I still think the decision was about the vesting option, which makes Shaughnessy right, even if he’s right in an assholeish CHB way.
