Triston vs. Devers wRC+ by month (before tonight):
April - 61 vs. 116 May - 108 vs. 90 June - 136 vs. 112
It really goes to show how much of a hole you can dig yourself into when you get off to a bad start. Casas BABIP by month - 0.152, 0.326, 0.318.
Kiké on the other hand, wRC+ by month: 94, 62, 54.

Pro rated ML minimum salary for the Sox. He could already be on a plane to the twin cities. They would have to wait for him to clear waivers if they don`t want to pick up his salary too. He has cleared waivers and was released by the Guardians today.

I guess the positive for tonight is that Pablo Reyes isn't going on the IL....On the flip side, McGuire likely is with Sandy Leon signed tomorrow morning RETURN OF THE DEATH STAR.

Wondering if Cora has the balls to pull Kiké here seeing he would lead off @ the top of the 9th and put Hamilton @ 2B, Arroyo @ SS and Duvall in LF Cora would rather fight a pack of lions bare handed than take Kiké out. I am totally agree with you. I am so done with this guy. He can’t field his position, doesn’t hit. So overrated. . Killing this team.

While I fully understand the difficulty of managing a major league bullpen, Cora could not have been serious about winning this game when he turned to Ort, straight faced, in that situation. Literally the only reason I can justify this is that Cora wanted to save Pivetta for the bullpen game tomorrow. Still, I trust Garza more than I do Ort. Still, this game hinges on 3 huge mistakes. (1) Arroyo attempting to steal 2nd, (2) Kiké’s poor SS play and error, and (3) Verdugo trying to stretch a single into a double. The first 2 are entirely on Cora though. Honestly, he’s such a strange manager. At times he’s very methodical, other times he’s just outright foolish and stubborn.

Alex Cora is a bad manager. Not the worst, but also far from the best. Starting to believe this to. Having Kiké at SS continues to lose us winnable games. At some point all these f-ups start to add up.

At some point all these f-ups start to add up. Before it was inexcusable. I'd like to blame anyone for anything myself in sports. Right now, Pablo Reyes is hurt. Arroyo is really a second base only guy, because he gets hurt so easily. He's already announced he doesn't want Kiké starting regularly anymore at short stop. Right now he doesn't even have a choice until Reyes gets healthy.

He has to go back to him at SS because our 3 options are on the IL right now

The choice is to start Arroyo at SS and Kiké at 2B.

I thought Arroyo had the worst AB of the season with a man on 3rd and 1 out too, huge missed opportunity

Playing DH for the Rockies and going 3-23 with 10 k’s and 0 BB One game at catcher and had his obligatory passed ball (all 3 hits were xbh tho! So basically normal Alfaro things)

One of the rare times I feel like I could’ve looked exactly like what a big leaguer looked like at the dish. Last pitch was completely uncompetitive and it was as if he decided to swing no matter what

I get you have to get to the 10th for it to matter, but if the third reliever option was gonna be Ort I would rather have either throw. Whitlock in the 8th or put Ort in before extras because basically there felt like a zero percent chance he was getting out of that without a run.
