Framber; Pivetta, Bieber, Pivetta, going down (and thats just a few of the dozens that have been injured and its not even the middle of april) Should tell you no matter the type of pitcher you are (including the once reliable workhorse) you are more likely to be IL'd than in any previous season They could have had another starter or two and began with Houck and Whitlock in the pen and a couple of the pen guys in AAA so when injuries inevitably hit, the oh no you must start Houck and Whitlock crowd would still be appeased as they still wind up in the rotation but now with less quality depth behind them instead. Too bad the Sox had no money for depth. Oh wait. At some point you have to stop being such a front office sycophant. They do a lot of things very well (Breslow traded very well this offseason) but sometimes they dont which you can never seem to acknowledge. You just go into defense attorney mode. Im not being a damn sycophant... The amount of pitching injuries league wide should be sounding alarm bells at MLB HQ... You have pitchers who were the traditional/reliable rubber arm/workhorse now getting season-ending injures... I cannot recall the last time there were this many injures and its only APRIL.. that's unmanageable for any team regardless of the amount of pitching depth one has

Literally every pitcher in the league is getting injured, so you would need a crap load of depth to not have issues with pitcher injuries Ok well they should have landed somewhere between “a crap load” and “only Criswell” the two pitchers that got injured for the Sox have been workhorses, so.... no you are wrong

And just like that Criswell is likely in the rotation with absolutely nothing behind him. Bravo Literally every pitcher in the league is getting injured, so you would need a crap load of depth to not have issues with pitcher injuries

the CHW game was delayed in the bottom of the 8th because the 1st base coach was MIA,,,
Perhaps he pulled a Paul Pierce?

He was horrendous this spring and had a 6.6 K/9 in Japan last year. I would expect nothing from him. Eh. Could be due to adjusting to the different baseball.

With regards to the thread, I am guessing Breslow gets the final call on extending Cora. Given the Sox track record with free agents who they let play out the season (and I'll lump Cora in this bucket), if he doesn't have a new contract before tonight's game, can we assume that Breslow is letting him walk, short of winning the World Series? Otherwise, he and the ownership group will likely be looking at topping Craig Counsel's $40m deal with the Cubs. My only other thought is, at the end of the year, ownership offers — and Cora accepts — some kind of front office position. However, this would seem to make Breslow's seat a little warm, if not hot. I really don't anticipate the front office for Cora scenario occurring, but it's within the realm of possibility given how often we've been told the owners love Cora. Then again, they loved Theo, sooooo..... Cora himself says he does not want to manage forever... its a stressful job
