Walking the #9 man is not ideal, I'd admit.

Cordero learning first base so quickly gives me hope that Schwarber can do it too.
I feel like I could play a passable 1B as someone who just turned 50.
That should pass soon. At 51, I'm pretty sure my passable 1B days are in the rear view mirror.

So then we should talk about end results which is a 2-2 game after 4 innings and he narrowly escaped a bases loaded nobody out jam. I mean if you only want to bitch and only bitch, then by all means... If I ever felt that way, I would stop watching forever. It's not fun if everything makes you miserable. Well, when you're struggling to beat the Tigers, lose 1st place of the division because you got swept by the team now in 1st, and 2 other teams are inching closer and closer to catching you partly because they got someone you needed, it makes it hard to maintain excitement. But, hey, at least they kept the 24 year old Duran who is currently sporting a 40% k-rate and a .440 OPS while being a below-average defender and Blaze Jordan who was a 3rd round pick who will need to move to 1B at some point and needs his bat to carry him to the majors. I like the prospect, but not at the cost of potentially losing the AL East, and now maybe even WC2. Richards has 4 hits, 2 walks, 1 HR, 2 ER and 5k through 4.0 IP so far.

The thing that frustrates me about Richards is that the Sox so obviously want to stay under the tax line but spent almost $10 mill on him. If they were over and money didn’t matter, fine. But on a tight budget… frustrating.

It’s a nine inning game. This team has like 30+ comeback wins. They sky ain’t falling yet. Have a little faith, gents. This team has earned it.

That right there is why I never wanted Schoop. That's all he ever does is chase.

Cora leaves in Richards too long once again. Dude does it every single time he starts.

But on a tight budget… frustrating. You pays your money and you takes your chances. Sometimes you get a Whitlock for $50K and sometimes you get a Richards for 5 Mil.

But on a tight budget… frustrating. Agree he's extremely frustrating, but sort of hard to blame the move when it was looking really good until the sticky stuff crackdown which they obviously could not have predicted. Of FA starters on 1 year deals who changed teams the only one who obviously would have been a better move is DeSclafani. From what I remember they pursued Morton hard and he picked the Braves, same with Kluber and the Yankees. Darn free will.

Man, Sawamura's splitter is one of the nastiest pitches I've ever seen. If he could throw it with any control, he'd be the next Koji.

This team is getting to be quite boring. They have been having quite a bit of Farrellitis on the basepaths lately. Seems other teams have no problem taking advantage of their opportunities while the Sox play a game of squanderino.
I am glad that they had the day off to get themselves rejuvenated for the final push. it really is showing up.
