GAME #24, THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 2018, RED SOX AT TORONTO BLUE JAYS

[longgame]

Carson Smith went 2/3 with 2 hits, a walk and a run - and we're lucky it wasn't worse.  Give Barnes credit for cleaning up his mess.

JDM did what he was supposed to do.  A year ago the Sox would have lost that game 4-2.

Cora seems to have settled down a little on the lineup changes the last couple of days, although Beni could maybe benefit from a sit-down, but not Mookie, Hanley or JDM.  Bogey will be back tonight so he can fulfill his urge to rest someone by resting an infielder.

Sox seem to be settling into a normal rhythm of play now, winning "normal" games rather than blowouts.

Guys having great games is what bothers me with Cora.We saw this before that he gets weird with his lineup changes.Definitely didn`t get that from Hinch.

Beni breaks a 0-16 slide with 2 hits a so he gets benched tonight. Why not play him see what he does. Should have benched him at 0-12.

And Bradley who went hitless on Thursday was in the lineup again tonight and went 0 for 4 and now down to 205.  HOW MUCH MORE ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO ENDURE FROM THIS ROTTEN SHITTY HITTER???????  His defense is never going to cover for his inept hitting.  Look, this has been going on since 2014 when he was crappy all year, while in 2015 he had one big hot streak before he crapped out totally in September.  Two good long streaks in '16 before a total meltdown the last seven or so weeks and now worse than ever.  Get his ass out of the lineup and use him as a defensive replacement in late innings.  He is not going to ever be a decent hitter for us and to be honest I'm totally sick of seeing him flail away at the plate.  He is totally shitty.
