i have the flu and decided to tune in for the first time since opening weekend and the YES network broadcast may be what kills me

Great outing by Crochet

Shut 'em down and let's get this dub.

Well that stunk. But what a great game from Crochet anyway. If the damn offense could get him some runs he wouldn’t have to go out and pitch the 9th with a 100 pitches.

 

[JRull86]

Would've liked him to try to have throw that 3-2 FB up and away, but how can anyone be upset with that start.

And bringing him out for the 9th is 100% the right call, even if analytics probably advised against it.

You gotta send him out there for the 9th. If he had thrown another 15-20 pitches already, no, but he deserved that opportunity for sure

That was an ace. Every decision checked out Cora has made has blown up in his face.

What would you have liked him to do differently in this game? He did exactly what any manager with a brain would've done in that situation.

Not judge, sitting Mayer.....Playing mighty Romy and Rob ref nothing worked...Toro in particular sucked. He was outmanaged and they will lose another tight one

After watching those replays in slow motion I can honestly say, I still don’t know if that ball was fair or foul.
I will say, the umpire was in prime position to make the initial decision.

Also, I didn’t know you could review that too. Enough already with the replays. Just play the games.

Yeah I’m all aboard the bash cora train lately but this was the right decision, just didn’t pay off

 

[JRull86]

Yeah I think you have to stay with the call on the field there.

No definitive shot of it being fair or foul.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Is that why Mayer doesn't play against lefties

Completely overwhelmed in that AB

 

[SPV]

Not really sure why you don’t send Devers with Hamilton at third. Then have Mayer bunt.

 

[JRull86]

Big W

 

[Johnnyduke]

That felt like a meaningful Sox-Yankees game. I am begging this team to play themselves into contention. Please.

This is EXACTLY why Mayer didn't start, and woin't start all weekend against LHP. But you know...Cora sucks.

I like replay but not for fair/foul.

I worry about what would happen if that was overturned…

Single?
Double?

It’s not cut and dried in RF in Fenway.

Double

Double

Is that automatic or do they have the ability to call it a single?

It'd be a single with ump's discretion to award him 2B, which frankly would've been the correct call if replay overturned it.
