I will ask why Pom is on the roster over Wright if you’re so afraid of using him that you let Eovaldi throw 6 and bat twice
Expand ...

If you saw him pitch this year, the only question is why is he on the roster, not why didn't he get in the game last night.

That is my overall question. Just cause he’s a lefty I guess

He batted because there were no position players left on the bench. And he was a better option to pitch than Pomeranz. I had no problem with Cora going with Eovaldi that long. If he had gotten through the 18th I'd imagine Pomeranz would have pitched the 19th.

So would they have just kept playing past 3:00 a.m. if that game was at Fenway?

We asked that also. Isn't there a 2:00 am curfew in MLB? Or is that relaxed for the playoffs?

I'm questioning Cora for his use of the rotation and bullpen. I could care less what happened in the game last night, he put this pitching in shambles the way he overused them last night.

What else was he supposed to do? The game went 18 innings. I'm guessing he's not managing at any point in the game thinking it's going to go that long. When he took Porcello out after 4 2/3 he's not thinking about 13 more innings.

How would you have used the pitching?

I don’t either. But it certainly isn’t normal. Christ even price got in on the action.

Idk what people want from Cora. His team lost because Bradley and Vaz committed back to back embarrassingly bad baserunning blunders, kinsler made an error that Buckner look like a gold Glover, and your top 4 spots in the lineup went 0 for 28.

All this occurred, and it still took the Dodgers 18 to win it. If the Sox actually play well, the Dodgers will lose.

Just like Price last night, Porcello should be good for 35-50 pitches tomorrow. Normal routine is for a pitcher to throw in bullpen second day after a start.

All that talk about platoons.

The dodgers “best” lineup scored 3 runs in 18 innings against a clearly inferior pitcher than the guys they faded in gm 1 and 2. They scored 6 against the 2 in Boston.

The difference is they allowed 12 runs in the 18 innings in Boston vs 2 in the 18 innings in la

I’m fine with this and expect it. I remember joe Sheehan writing that torre should’ve done this with pettitte on his rest days one regular season because the yanks lack of lefty relievers that year.

I think torre actually did it a couple of times

I get why they do it, but at the same time it's crazy to think of how much money they lost last night by doing that
Expand ...

Have to think of the risk of lawsuits as well. How much do they lose with one of those lawsuits?

I’m not certain. But I would imagine dram shop laws would apply to the park as well.

Yes and no. Can you imagine the damage belligerent drunks would have caused after 18 innings haha.

It would’ve been must see tv though. Imagine the ratings spike it would’ve gotten. Biggest spike in a sporting event since the malice at the palace

Would look like the end of the McGregor fight.

I will say that with this now looking like a long series, a game 7 for Cora would be amazing to watch.

Porcello
Sale
Price
Eovaldi
Kimbrel

That’s what you’d basically see

ZERO chance of that happening, ZERO chance of Red Sox winning World Series at all, Red Sox do not win another game and the Dodgers win this World Series in 6!

thanks for the comedy
when are you going to be serious about your discussion on this subject?
ZERO?????

Game 7's are always all hands on deck. You have 4 months to rest.

The Sox have a lot of guys willing to do whatever it takes to win the championship and most of the time that's what it does take. Cora said he had 5 players outside his office after the game offering to pitch today. The team has been pretty resilient all season long. We'll see tonight how resilient they are after something very out of the ordinary like last night.

Martinez makes everything go in that lineup not to mention no Moreland,Pearce, or Benitendi. MLB really does need to go to a universal Dan Hurley this isnt the 1920s anymore.
Expand ...
I couldn’t agree more. How the NL doesn’t win nearly every year surprises me. NL teams are at such a huge advantage. An NL team having to employ a Dan Hurley is no sacrifice, but an AL team having to completely change how it plays, how long pitchers pitch etc is a huge disadvantage. Making everything uniform has to happen sooner or later. Hurley or no Dan Hurley.

Any pitcher can have an off day so for me resilience will be measured by the position players.

Not to say position players don’t. But we are talking about guys like eddy and Pom and having feel for their pitches. It’s already a guessing game without kinsler choking the life out of the team

We also need some offense production from Betts and Xander ...at least.

Idk for sure but it looked like Xander was hurting last night too. Anybody know?

Sox position guys are banged up with Nunez, JD, and what I believe to be Xander.
