Game 51: Mets at Red Sox, Megill vs. Crochet
It's great to already have secured the series win over the Mets, primarily thanks to bench coat Ramón Vázquez's pre-planned (in game 1) and unplanned (in game 2) bullpen management; in response, the Sox bullpen kicked absolute ass on the NL East powerhouse—so much so that we knocked them out of first place in their standings! With ace pig extraordinaire Crochet on the mound, can the Sox get their first series sweep since the Cardinals series in early April? If the Mets bats wake up, can the Sox bats neutralize them? And will Crochet be able to give the bullpen a much-deserved rest? After covering the Sox getting swept last week, I'd love to cover them doing the sweeping tonight, but me getting what I want doesn't always happen.

Boston sports radio host left stunned at 'preposterous' reason Red Sox manager Alex Cora missed a game
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora missed Monday's victory over the visiting New York Mets to attend his daughter Camila's graduation at Boston College, which one local sports radio host considered a 'kind of preposterous' excuse. 'They were, I believe, done by noon, which means you can have a nice big party in the middle of the day,' Mike Felger of Boston's 98.5 The Sports Hub said. 'Just cab down the street and manage the game.' A schedule of events on BC's website appears to contradict Felger's claim. While the academic procession was set to start at 9:05am at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, individual school diplomas were not distributed until the main ceremony, which was scheduled to begin sometime between 12pm and 12:30. But Felger's criticism had less to do with Monday's game, which Boston won with bench coach Ramón Vázquez at the helm. Rather, he claimed it set a bad example to players. 'It's just the tone you set and the example you set for the team,' Felger said. 'It's not like they need him there to make the pitching change or lay down the bunt. It's the leadership and optics of the whole thing. It's a very easy chance for him to say, 'Nothing's more important than tonight's game.' Speaking before Tuesday's win over the Mets, Cora did not seem bothered by Fleger's criticism in the least. 'She wanted me to be with her,' Cora said. 'It was her day so this was secondary. We're in this world for a purpose, and for me, it's to raise her and try to do the best we can. 'Obviously, it wasn't perfect but right now, it's perfect. Everybody contributed. For her, she was very anxious having the whole family in town. Like we told her, anything for her. To be able to listen to her, how she thought about the whole day, the whole week and the whole four-year experience, there was a lot of emotions. 'It's a day,' he added. 'I wasn't going to miss it. The whole day. There's coaches that take three days for that. It just so happened we're here in Boston so I took one.' Team reporters knew about Cora's decision ahead of time after the manager recently discussed his excitement to see Camila graduate. Cora went on to comment on his daughter's growth since 2018, when she celebrated the team's World Series win with her father at the end of his first season on the job. 'It went fast, it went really fast,' Cora said. 'For a girl from divorced parents, her mom did an amazing job, staying the course while I was playing and coaching and doing my ESPN thing. ... She's actually a reflection of her. I appreciate everything she's done for her and for us.' 'Now, she's not a little girl,' he said. 'She's a woman. She had fun with it. She's a great student and the future's bright for her.'

What Just Happened to Kodai Senga? Red Sox Crack His 'Ghost Fork' in Ramon Vazquez's Stunning Match
Red Sox Crack 'Ghost Fork' in Ramon Vázquez's Stunning Debut (Image Source: Getty Images) In the cold of Fenway Park , Boston Red Sox interim manager Ramón Vázquez steered his team to a 3-1 victory over the New York Mets on Monday night. Because Alex Cora was at his daughter's graduation, Vázquez took the reins and orchestrated an important win against a top pitcher. The Red Sox quickly got to work against Mets ace Kodai Senga , who had an outstanding 1.02 ERA in the National League. The first double of the game by leadoff hitter Jarren Duran after the first pitch showed that Boston was ready to win. Boston's offensive strategy neutralises Senga's devastating splitter 'Ghost Fork' pitches by Kodai Senga (Image Source: Sporting News) This season, the Red Sox were the first team to make Kodai Senga pay for three earned runs. The ghost fork pitch that Kodai Senga had used so effectively against opposing batters before the game appeared to be less effective against Boston. "That's Jarren for us," Ramón Vázquez said following his managerial debut. "When he starts ballgames like that, we score early. It's a game changer." Kodai Senga's Ghost Forks and Grip! #shorts First, Trevor Story singled home a run in the first inning. In the second, Duran tripled on the same pitch to score Carlos Narváez. Senga's most important strikes with her iconic weapon made the difference in the outcome. Before the game, Ramón Vázquez hoped Senga's splitter wouldn't work, and it seemed he was right. There were many missed pitches in the strike zone, so Red Sox batters had a better chance during their at-bats. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Hunter Dobbins contains the Mets' offence while Ramón Vázquez showcases bullpen management Starting for the Red Sox, Hunter Dobbins kept the opponents to one run over 4.2 innings, allowing just five hits.
