I don't get why some on here don't hold Cordero in higher regard, dude is pretty damn good and he's been mentioned by a few posters as a first arm out of the pen when new talent is added.

Cordero with the rolled up sleeve is hilarious. Just has to be the gun show with him 24/7.

Because he has a pretty strong arm, lol...

And?

Need some runs

Why does Ricky like to put the coldest bat at the clean up spot?

Bubic is a dick. You plunk the guy twice and then you throw over to first? 

All the unwritten rules and gamesmanship in baseball can grow old.

Great job, Cordero. What the hell was that last pitch? An attempt at a change up that just came out of the hand as a fastball that sailed high in the perfect spot? It was 94 mph.

Hard to think of EE and Grandal as question marks....maybe EE, but Nelson Cruz is 40, EE is "just" 37.

Moncada can't be defined as question mark, either.  Or Jimenez.   McCann, sure, I guess.

Grandal is a careere 793 ops... not bad but nothign special...

jimenez hasn't played a full season, moncada has had 1 good year... as well as anderson.

 

EE is old and crusty... Their certainly is potential on this team for a good offense.

 

But it's so far from a proven thing.

The waiver claim is going to get held against him.

 

Let's get an insurance run this inning. Would be fun to see Yasmani get extra bases.

Peoples opinions on relievers are almost always negative unless they’re lock down super studs. 
 

The one thing the Sox have done well the past few years is with the pen, and you think they were exceptionally bad.

It's not really an unwritten rule, it's just a weird ass thing to do when you've already hit a guy twice and he's not a base stealing threat.

He's not wrong, Nick shouldn't be running 3 feet into the infield

it's just such a jim thing to notice.

Can someone explain to me why the Sox always shit their pants against KC no matter the state of the Royals? 

Abreu's bat looks very slow

abreu looks sorta cooked.

Crapa is our 3rd base coach and is awful

Why can't grown men with basically one job do the job as 3B coach? There was 0 percent chance, OK 5 percent chance Madrigal was going to score there on Gordon. Sickening coaching.

The entire offense looks cooked today.

He was hardly the only one, it was bizarre

Moving plate again

Right, but McCann was pissed and pitcher had to get the last word so to speak. He should be mad.

Grandal is all sorts of not good right now.

He’s coming forward too much and hands aren’t staying back. End result is head flies off the ball.
