BSJ Daily Briefing 10.24.18: Sox win again to open Series, Cora is a golden god, B's win

Good morning!

A few random thoughts while I wonder if Alex Cora sits there in press conferences and already knows what we're going to ask. He knows everything else...

• Another late night at The Fens and it was worth it for everyone as the Red Sox put away the Dodgers 8-4 to win the first game of the World Series.


• Love how the Sox answered just about every Dodgers score with one of their own. That tells you a lot about this team.


• Frigging Alex Cora ... basically tells Eduardo Nunez, 'You're not starting, even though you normally do against left-handers, but we're saving you to pinch-hit for Rafael Devers late in the game and you're going to win it.' .... And. It. Happens. Again.


• In my mind, this is how Cora will spend the victory celebration if the Sox win the Series....

• Cora kind of owned Dave Roberts last night, huh? Roberts pinch-hit for a guy, David Freese, who was 2-for-2 and was in the third spot in the lineup. Uh, overmanaged much?


• There were six positional substitutions and 10 relief pitchers ... and we're NOT EVEN IN THE NL PARK YET!


• Gametime: 3:52. Some of you might not care because it involves the Red Sox, but you should if you love baseball.


• Everybody ready for the New David Price tonight?


• Hey, the Bruins won a game for the first time in four tries on this road trip ... against the Senators. Good job boys.
