To be honest, I don't think there is anything to lament about how they played yesterday. They lost 3-1 facing Tyler Glasnow pitching at the top of his game; whaddaya gonna do? On the other hand they absolutely blew the game before that, especially with Abreu's don't-call-it-an-error in CF. Rafaela and Valdez each botched a play as well. But I can understand why Cora didn't think it was wise to go full Verdugo on three rookies in his comments to the press. (There was also that bases loaded squander where Duvall and Yoshida took called third strikes, but are you gonna call out Duvall for one bad PA when he's been hitting like Barry Bonds lately? Yoshida has been hot for the past week or so as well.) The real sin of that game, of course, was Cora's using Jansen in the game before that. I don't know if anyone ever asked him about that, or what his response was.
I still support Jansen being used in the Monday game. You can't be sure that Tuesdays game will be close and Monday's game was close enough in my eyes. Bringing him in on Sunday with a 6 run lead is the manager blunder in my mind. Jansen should not waste any bulllets because Cora thinks he "needs work". He had thrown one inning across eleven days, and he was kinda rough in that KC game

DS, Tomase, and Abraham are probably the worst trio of beat writers any team in any major league sport can claim right now. They’re the 2023 Red Sox defense of journalism. Match made in heaven. DS, Tomase, and Abraham should get a DFA. Maybe they can be claimed off waivers by the San Diego news media. Then they can be reunited with Bogaerts to kiss his….. Do the Red Sox media writers think they have to be controversial to be read? Why can’t they just report what players say and leave it at that….. Actually the three of them should be picked up by CNN. Take a look at how toxic sports talk radio is(and social media). And you sadly have your answer.

Seeing Rodon booed off the mound in Yankee Stadium is enough to warm my heart.
