Since Cora had the dumb idea of Mookie leading off he has responded by hitting a DISMAL .170 with 4 RBIS.  Most Sox fans can see it was a major BLUNDER BY CORA.

Considering the 2018 Sox were on cruise control and 2-3 batters hitting well over .300, JD is the only one up there this week.  He's a flat .300 today after an 0-4 yesterday.  Conversely JBJ is on a tear, now up to .199.

Most Sox fans on this board felt it was dumb not to have him bat lead off. I never cared where he batted. Either you can hit or you can't.

Betts won the MVP leading off.  Moreover Mookie has repeatedly said he prefers to leadoff.  One of the problems has been Mgr Alfred E Neuman keeps juggling the lineup.  So everyone stays off balance and there is no routine.

It is bad enough having to watch the Red Sox pitching and the team getting clobbered without having to listen to the endless statistical prattle coming out of O'Brien.

Isn't he just the worst.   I had it on in the car and Sean McDonough was doing the game.  Too bad it was this game.  I have to thank my son though.  It was 2-0 when he called.  When I got off the phone it was 6-1 so he saved me from having to hear that!

But wow, JBJ with a 3R HR and the Sox are alive.
