Not a fan of intentionally walking the bases loaded in a tie game with a pitcher that gives up 5.58 BB/9.
ADD: Well, it worked...

If we blow this game after a 4-0 lead with both Oakland and TB winning tonight our season will be officially finished

This would be a horrible loss with TH winning and NY laying down for Oakland.

2 walks and a single followed by an error. This is not what a team trying to make the playoffs can afford.

Ok..Now we have burned our closer. Good luck from here on in.

last year if Cora didn't put in Jackie for defense there, nothing happens and we still win. this year, JD flubs a play that contributes to a blown save.
Cora's made his share of sub-optimal decisions this year, but it seems like a larger percentage than you'd expect have turned into costly disasters.

JD Martinez has been so un-clutch, and now on defense as well. Maybe it is psychological.

I had a bad feeling when Workman had to come in to finish the 8th. We haven’t had any luck with 4 out closers in recent memory. He just wasn’t as sharp when he came back out for the 9th

Maybe use Darwinzon first instead of buying in on Brasier after 10 appearances or whatever.

Last year Cora had the Midas touch and this year he has the Medusa touch.

The Sox a absolutely can not afford a long extra inning game with a bullpen game tomorrow.

Another 5 hour frustrating game.

Darwinzon is just nasty. Let’s see what he can do late in games I wasn't saying this a month or a month and a half ago, but I will say it now after Darwinzon has proved himself at the majors here in a bullpen role since he was called up. Brasier has proven to be bad enough to earn a demotion after 4 months of baseball. Darwinzon has certainly proven to be better than him.

Please remember how to hit, they've been dead for innings at a time now.
