that would've been a DP. idk if anyone in the organization can play a competent enough shortstop at the big league level other than perhaps rafaela... Maybe later in the season, but for now Mayer is not a sensible option just yet. So, they have to go get a competent SS, right ?

We can’t go through the next 150 games with a Triple A middle infield - what are we doing

How is it possible to have a defense this bad while also having an uninspiring offense. Just pick one to be good at!

I’ll take young players who are learning making mistakes over Kiké every time

Red Sox continuing a trend of not being very good at home.
1 game is enough of a sample for me.

How hard is it to find a middle infielder who can field or catch a ball hit (or thrown) directly at them at medium or lower velocity

Serious question. How vulnerable is Cora's position? Sure, the roster is not his fault. Thinness, lack of pitching, injuries. But - we've seen a bit of iffy baserunning. We've seen a lot of bad defense. If Story's injury - and Pivetta's - are a catalyst for collapsing team, how safe will Cora be?
The offense today is beyond anemic, too.

I mean i don’t think Cora is telling them to not catch balls directly at them or not hit. They just have a lot of guys that aren’t good defenders and also aren’t great hitters!

The amount of Unearned Runs we've given up so far has been laughable.
We were always going to be in tough again Burnes today so that hasn't surprised me

Leaving Winck in too long again. This is going to get ugly

Speaking of Cora, I'm assuming we don't really like Wink and don't want him for the next 2 against the O's?

They're 7-4 Yes, but have you considered that they struggled today against Corbin Burnes, a result that could only occur due to poor managerial decisions?

This must be stretching out Winchowski to start…don’t love that either

I agree about 7-4 and super early, but I've can less enamored with Cora the last few years for different reasons. Not sure I would have gone to Wink down 1-3, but certainly wouldn't have stretched him like this. Burning the guy out in April.

Odds all the singles Winckowski gave up this inning become hits (rather than at least one of them becoming an out): 3%.
