Well, I'm glad this last half inning made at least one person happy.

By all means Cora, don't even get the bullpen up after first and second no one out -_- Winckowski has not had it all inning, but let's just pray to RNGesus we get out of the inning instead of doing something about it. Classic. Agree. Winck gave him what they needed - Cora just sat there and let him hang himself when he clearly lost effectiveness. |

I’ve never saw X pop up so many balls.

Xander can't handle a middle pitch right there at low 90.

I’ve never saw X pop up so many balls. His double was a pop up. So was his last HR at houston that went similar distant. Not sure what is wrong with him. |

This is true, but Cora has no bullpen and Winck was mostly cruising around 80 pitches. I can understand his reluctance to make a move given those circumstances. |

Third time through the line up, got fidgety/uncomfortable - didn't even have anyone warming. Not wise, methinks. |

we don't need Hosmer to be a hero, just a solid regular at this price. Real hopeful.

If Sawamura or Brasier come in and get hit hard then Cora had too short of a leash with Winck. Lol. |

Hosmer looks like he’s already becoming one of the leaders of this team. Seems like they all rally around him.

It may be physically impossible for Plawecki to ever throw out a base stealer.

Umps are trying hard to favor the Sox in close calls....but...nope - twice.

So excellent to see Matt Barnes reemerging from a horrendous nightmare. This was pretty damn good.

On positive side it looks like Barnes may still be at least serviceable.
