That's bullshit!!!!!! One game back and he wants out again? Crap on that. He should be totally healed by now as he said yesterday and if it isn't him it is once again Cora babying one of his players like the pablum sucking dud that he is. He's rested enough of our players and the fact that we are fighting for our lives now that we are in a June type swoon only adds to the pall that is being cast over our team. Mookie can't for doesn't want to play, Bora Cora doesn't want him to play----one thing or another. It is always something with this team. In my opinion if Joe Maddon was our manager we'd be five or six games ahead by now. This shit is getting more sickening by the day.

E-Rod gives up a solo dinger. Better hope the Sox find their bats tonight.

markj · June 12, 2018, 06:31:56 PM

Raffy with a 2-run dinger to put the Sox up 2-1.

markj · June 12, 2018, 06:55:39 PM

Beni with a solo homer. Sox up 3-1.

Well that was a unique GIDP. Helped out by some really dumb Sox base running. Good thing the O's are giving away runs.

What was dumb about the base running on the DP? Did I miss something?

markj · June 12, 2018, 07:48:53 PM

Nope, I did. When Nunez got tagged out, I thought he ran when he didn't need to. But bases were loaded, so he had no choice. My mistake. I guess the O's catcher figured it was easier to tag him out than step back to home plate.

markj · June 12, 2018, 07:51:01 PM

So it was just your run-of-the-mill, scoring-opportunity-blowing GIDP. No dumb base running involved. ;)

NP. Had to tag Nunez because the force was taken off when the 1st baseman touched 1st base to get the hitter. Technically once 1st was touched no one had to run because the force was gone but that would be a very odd circumstance since everyone is running on the ground ball.

So many rules to remember. It's a wonder there aren't more mistakes.

markj · June 12, 2018, 09:10:39 PM

Joe Kelly to the rescue. Good job, Joe.

Schloicka · June 12, 2018, 09:11:52 PM

Nice job getting out of the mess.
