Kutter is no mystery to Cub batters tonight. Six hits and a couple runs. Sox are looking for their first hit of the night.
Back at Fenway, where winning is hard.
Every time he's out there Joely seems to choke and lose his stuff, unless it's not in a high leverage call. Alas he is becoming a Cora favorite like that guy Kaleb Ort.
Cora has favorites only he will play them regardless of how it impacts the team. We've seen it time and again. In Joele's case there is no excuse. The guy is just crapola with a capital C and has no business even being on the team, but until someone pulls the plug on Alex for malfeasance the farce will continue. To me it is obvious and has been for the past few years that Cora needs to go.
