Chris Cotillo @chriscotillo · 7m Alex Cora on the Chauvin verdict:
"Justice, I don't want to use that word. It's more about accountability. I hope we all understand as a society, if you don't do things right, you're going to pay the price. Hopefully this means there's a change in society. It was a huge day."

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 12m Alex Cora joining us on Zoom. #RedSox
Cora hopes the #RedSox will reach the 85% threshold, but he's not certain.
Cora said Renfroe took extra hitting this afternoon.
'Just out in front. Maybe a little bit off balance.'
'He was in such a good place at spring training.' #RedSox
Cora -- 'People just see us as having to entertain people. Just stay in your area. You see it, right? 'Stick to sports.''
'We're in a state right now, the more we talk about issues, the better we are as a society. I think our young people, they're more willing to do it.' #RedSox
Cora -- 'I think it's refreshing we live in a society where people are willing to do it.'
'I have a daughter who's going to college -- she's lucky to be living in a society like that.' #RedSox

Boston Red Sox weather: Will Wednesday’s game against Blue Jays be played or rained out? Updated 4:09 PM; Today 4:07 PM
By Christopher Smith | csmith@masslive.com
The Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays are scheduled to play at 7:10 p.m. Wednesday at Fenway Park. But some wet weather is in the forecast.
“It doesn’t look like 11:30 (a.m.) when I was with the kids on the playground. I’ll tell you that,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said pregame when asked about tonight’s forecast. “We’ve got to wait and see. We’re waiting to see if we’re going to hit (batting practice) outside. But as of now, we feel like we’re going to play the game.”
The National Weather Service reports about tonight’s weather in the Fenway area, “Showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 11pm, then a slight chance of showers between 11pm and midnight. Low around 34. West wind 14 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.”
There is a 67% precipitation potential chance at 7 p.m. It drops to 55% at 8 p.m., 52% at 9 p.m., 42% at 10 p.m. and 15% at 11 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.
Right-hander Garrett Richards (0-0, 6.00 ERA) is scheduled to pitch for the Red Sox opposite Blue Jays righty Trent Thornton (0-0, 2.35 ERA).
Boston and Toronto are playing the second game of a quick two-game series at Fenway. The Red Sox (11-6) won 4-2 on Tuesday night behind 6 strong innings from starter Eduardo Rodriguez and Xander Bogaerts’ three-run home run.

Red Sox Notes @soxnotes · 5h The Red Sox are 48-12 (.800) in Eduardo Rodriguez’s starts since the beginning of 2018. They are 17-3 in the last 20, having won each of the last 7.
Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 5h This stat is absolutely bonkers.
The #RedSox were 26-8 in Rodriguez's 2019 starts. They were 58-70 otherwise. Those are some crazy stats. Some of it is run support, but regardless, that's just crazy.
