It's almost as if Cora keeps giving Hernandez chances because he wants him to get on track.

It hasnt worked. Duran deserves to stay in the lineup. You want to win games or try and help a player who is struggling? He is trying to help Kike at the expense of Duran and that's not fair. 1. We need to keep this development of Duran going. 2. He's has the hot bat. 3. This is a big boy league. Cora knows this. Sorry, but Kike would should be sitting and Duran should still be starting.

Pretty sure Cora decides when he will give a player a day off well before the day of the game.

That's the way they do things now. The days of Cal Ripken are long gone. Not saying I agree with it, but that's the reality.

There needs to be some leeway though, right? I just don’t see any reason to sit your hottest hitter. It sends a bad message. They’re already going into the break, so he’s going to have what, a week off?

I just think at this stage with him, he needs to see lefties more. His numbers this season against LHP aren't bad. He’s on fire currently.

Get that Murphy guy outta there

He sucked

Ended up battling and getting thru 2 innings. Not sure if Cora’s going back to him a 3rd time. I just got in. Listened on the radio. Murphy has had command issues. He’s been very good since getting the call. Wasn’t going to be perfect 100% of the time.

He was just frustrating to watch and walked I think 3 guys in the 2nd, but managed to get out of it with only walking in 1 run.

This makes sense except they have four days off coming up for the all-star break.

Duran pinched hit. Gave it a good ride oppo but couldn’t make the wall. Sox currently down by one, 3-2 A’s.

Yoshida steals. Ball into the OF and he takes 3rd on it. Gotta tie this up, Arroyo.
