Another ugly win (same score as last night), but it's a win. TB lost, so Sox are one game back.

Arroyo with a grand salami.😄  Why isn't he starting at 2nd and the leadoff hitter?

Good question and i think I may have an answer.  Alex Cora loves his fellow Latin Americans and Gonzales is one and Arroyo is not.  I have always believed that Cora has favorites and he has a tendency to play them.  Marwin is hitting under 200 and is not a regular=type players and his hitting should be reason enough to make him once again a utility player.  Arroyo has shown he can get the big hit and should be in at second base but unless Cora is pushed by upper echelon personnel this is the way it will remain.  Remember, we have done this type of rap before.  Remember JBJ?  For seven years we saw this guy stink at the plate and it took that long to get rid of him (BTW, he is no hitting 153 for Milwaukee after two and a half months.
