Ooh that’s unforgivable.
It’s an amazing lesson every team should show video and then pass out piece of paper and ask the rookies to write down name of Yankees player who made gaffe

Whenever they see Volpe they will be reminded

He’s a heck of a young player but ‘don’t be Volpe-ied’ should become part of baseball vernacular

This is like being in 6th grade and the girl you have a major crush on catches you picking your nose

Hell baby
I’ve been plenty critical of Cora in the past and he does sometimes get a little too cute but this has been his best coaching job, 2018 included. Young guys are playing with confidence, his bullpen decisions make sense, the vibes are immaculate despite all the injuries they’ve dealt with….dodgers or Yankees gonna throw a lot of money at him this offseason

Lost in the pure joy of this remarkable win:

Top 5 spots in Sox order went 1 for 23 with 10 K's.

Dom Smith's base hit before Yoshida's blast.

Sox bullpen 6.2 innings of shutout ball.

A Sox game with no stolen bases.

Abreu striking out twice in clutch spots. Just needed contact both times but swinging for the fences at pitches out of the strike zone.

On the same play, LeMahieu not stopping to get in a rundown just as bad as Volpe.

Hard to believe major leaguers can be so poor at the basics of the game. Granted, it's a ridiculously long season. Concentration can wane at times. But this wasn't a Tuesday night in Oakland.

So Bichette & Guerrero could be had

You get Bichette this would be a huge get & sign him

They can do this

Duran
Bichette
Devers


He’s also a RIGHT HANDED HITTER

He’s 2 F****** 6 !!!!! Twenty-six

You want to be relevant

Get Biggio

If this was 1976 they would get both

Mayer is rated near top of prospect list but I’ll drive him to airport for Bichette

After back-to-back extra-inning games, Sox needed more out of Winckowski. Perhaps Cora shouldn't have been trying to win the game in the 4th inning by bringing in the lefty to face Soto. Winckowski had only thrown 66 pitches.

I know, Monday morning QB.

The ump horrific call turned a 1,2,3 inning into bases loaded another 15 innings

They need a starter

Winckowski's ERA was 2.80 coming into the game today.

Better than all other starters but Houck (2.68).

True.

As bad as Smith's no check swing ball four that added to Cole's pitch count also.

Bring on the machines!

This is a disingenuous argument. Wink is a long reliever at best. Shorter stints have proven to be when he’s most consistent and effective. He wasn’t intended to be a starter this season until giolito got hurt

It wasn't an argument, just a statement of fact.

They've been eating pretty good lately. :nod:
