Would he have still lobbed it had he not seen Story hold up?That throw was a lob. Story would have been safe.

At least there is that!At the very least @DennyDoyle'sBoil won't have to start a new game thread tomorrow.
This. And with 2 outs, he should have gotten a great jump. Since when is down 1 in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs the time to play conservatively? Its when you want to see your team go balls to the wall, win or lose.Story is faster than you're giving him credit for
And this. Coras bullpen moves have become Grady-esque.This. The bullpen has been bad, but bad bullpen management has cost them 4-5 games this season.

Did I miss something happening to Winck?Llovera and Schreiber are two of the good bullpen guys now. Martin and Jansen were the only ones not used, but Jansen has been a bit crap since the injury. I don't know how much better than Jacques he would have been.
No. This is 1000% on. Sale. Your 25$ million dollar “ace” should not be giving up 7 runs and pitching less than 5 innings. His last start where he went more than 5 innings was in may. Almost 4 months ago!Didn't see the game.
Looking at the box score, I am relieved to know we used all of our "B squad" pitchers in this one run classic Cora-punt.
Lest any Cora-lovers get tetchy, I will take your word ahead of time that there was absolutely nothing he could have done to win.
And, since we have unlimited games left to play, the "A squad" pitchers will be fresh to play all of those! Victory!!
despite sale continuing to be befuddled about his pitching struggles, nothing has changed. At this point sale is a borderline 5th starter being paid like an ace.Sale: “I’m supposed to be something on this team and I’m not.”
“We were one starting pitcher away from winning. We scored 12 (expletive) runs. What is happening g?”
Wincky in the 7thGrady had Pedro
Cora has?
You keep saying this, but it isn't a binary thing. Yes, Sale sucked. There was also a whole lot of game left to try to claw out a win.No. This is 1000% on. Sale. Your 25$ million dollar “ace” should not be giving up 7 runs and pitching less than 5 innings. His last start where he went more than 5 innings was in may. Almost 4 months ago!
and like clockwork during his post game interview Sale continues to be befuddled as to why he continues to pitch like crap
What’s happening is you suck Chris Sale. You are entitled to your guaranteed money, but the Red Sox should release you.No. This is 1000% on. Sale.

You are saying The Cora is a victim of circumstance?
Don’t release him. Use him in the middle-relief white-flag/mop-up role currently occupied by Llovera. Sunk cost. Why not?What’s happening is you suck Chris Sale. You are entitled to your guaranteed money, but the Red Sox should release you.
I think Cora's too much of a weasel for that.Maybe he will retire. He has sounded frustrated all season. He knows he doesn‘t have it anymore.
Well, six runs really. The first was 100% on Story.No. This is 1000% on. Sale. Your 25$ million dollar “ace” should not be giving up 7 runs and pitching less than 5 innings.
he was talking about Sale.I think Cora's too much of a weasel for that.
There was an odd moment early in the game when they showed him throwing the ball. I wonder if he has an ouchie and decided to rest him. I always think Cora has a reason for what he does, but using Jacques late in the game seems unreasonable to me.Did I miss something happening to Winck?
Yoshida has walked once this month.
The attacks on one of the best players on the team really crack me up. Abreu had an uncharacteristic night with five hits, despite all the moaning and groaning about his playing tonight, Devers had four hits and Yoshida had three.4-6-3 by Yoshida? I really hope not..
Sox lost 6-3?????????????????????????OP needs to open a gambling service
