So glad to be wrong thanks to Kiké's 10th inning heroics

Ottavino has turned it up. He is 1a with Barnes now.

What a win. Using Whitlock, Ottavino and Barnes and losing with that great ERod start would’ve been brutal.
Kiké has really stepped up to that center field role. Man he is a nice guy to have.

I know I say this a lot to the point of it becoming tiresome, but let it NOT go unspoken that Alex Cora is very much a BAD MAN.

WOW is the only word to describe it.....
Kiké earned his paycheck tonight.
Montas, Lowrie, we need to develop guys like that.

Itâs more than stats. Kiké has a flare for the dramatic. Canât measure that. Good good young man. And does he ever play A good CF. Iâm sorry Kiké for saying you should only be 2B.

It's crazy. This game was slipping away. The Sox missed a chance or two to put the game away.
Whitlock and Barnes allow HRs, the 9th inning game tying HR to a punch and Judy hitter, they get Kiké's big hit but miss the chance to get multiple runs and then allow a hit to start off the last of the 10th - a recipe for a disappointing loss, yet instead they get THE THROW from Kiké and just like that the Red Sox win a game that in most years would head to the loss column. Or as Chris Sale says, "Sandpaper".
Now they're 21 games over .500 and have a 4.5 game lead.

AMAZING... where are they key board warriors that spend the time criticizing this team, they are so knowledge that they are now hiding under the bed.
Wait soon. they will be criticizing Cora, because they know better.
LETS GO RED SOX

What a great win tonight! Would have loved to see Erod come out for the 7th given he had allowed only 1 hit(and was at 89 pitches). Glad it all worked out in the end.
Now let’s hope we don’t have to see Chavis for the rest of the weekend.

Tonite could have been that other shoe dropping. Like Montas , Moreland and my boy Jed Lowrie. But even after a long flight, against another good team, even without JDM, even w the rare HR from the Pen, they won #8 in a row, in extras, in Cali. This is a very good team. With reinforcements on the way it just doesn’t seem fair. LOLOL. Go Sox.

Ottavino has turned it up. He is 1a with Barnes now. I think I actually trust Ottavino more right now. Maybe Taylor, as well.

The anti-Kiké crowd -- show yourselves. That would be me - and I’m more anti-Kiké as a lead-off guy, but I want him to succeed. That said, I love it when any Sox play succeeds. And hey, Kiké can feel free prove me wrong and hit .280 ave/.350 obp or better for the rest of the year at lead-off and I’ll say I’m wrong.

The Red Sox should start getting Duran some reps at 2B because barring injury there is no room for him in this OF. CF defense is so important, and particularly at Fenway, that you can't sit Hernandez.

Great win, defense and pitching getting it done, this is a fun team to watch and root for.
Always a good time reading the game day thread the morning after a close win. Reading the comments and following the flow of the game, the ups the downs, you guys crack me up.
And to the poster who complained about a "mail it in line up", this is the team that Cora has to manage and he is dong a MOY type job. After all that has occurred over the past few seasons and what is happening this year, Cora has to be the favorite for MOY at this point without a doubt.
Up 4.5 in the east and #1 record in the AL #2 in all of baseball, impressive to say the leas. Keep it going!!

CF defense is so important, and particularly at Fenway, that you can't sit Hernandez. I wish I could find someone who would bet with me on whether Duran has zero appearances at 2b in the next few years, or more than zero. I know what side I'd be on.

Why, if we were complacent and poured nothing but accolades on our heroes, how would they get motivated to perform above their abilities?
