Welcome to Boston.Com's Sports Q, our day by day discussion, started by you and directed by Chad Finn, about a convincing subject in Boston sports. Here's the way it works: You submit inquiries to Chad through Twitter, Facebook, and email. He'll pick one every work day to reply, then, at that point we'll take the conversation to the remarks. Chad will stop by a few times each day to explore. In any case, you drive the discussion. 

Top story, it appears, so what's your take? Did Alex Cora make the best decision in taking out Nick Pivetta while he had a no-hitter going? – Chris W. 

He did. It smells, since we'd all affection to see a no-hitter — the Red Sox haven't had one since Jon Lester's in May 2008. In any case, it was the correct thing to do. 

Peter Abraham hit every one of the central issues in his On Baseball segment earlier today. I just stayed there gesturing in arrangement while understanding it. At the point when Cora eliminated him with two outs in the seventh inning and the Rays actually looking for their first hit, Pivetta had tossed 100 pitches, the most he'd tossed in a game in multiple seasons. There was a sprinter on a respectable halfway point in a scoreless game, with the lead position in question. Also, lefty Josh Taylor, who has ostensibly been the Red Sox' most dependable reliever the previous two months, was prepared to come in and two or three lefty hitters. 

The Red Sox wound up losing the game, 1-0, in the 10th inning, a disappointing loss that took them out of the lead position. However, Cora's choice at the time was the right one. 

The Red Sox additionally can't hazard Pivetta's wellbeing. The condition of their beginning pitching right presently is … not extraordinary. Eduardo Rodriguez has a 6.07 ERA. Garrett Richards is grieving the deficiency of Spider Tack. Martin Perez is Martin Perez. Pivetta strolls an excessive number of hitters, however as the Rays were reminded Thursday night, he's hard to hit, permitting simply 7.1 hits per nine innings this season. 

Cora made the right baseball move in lifting Pivetta for Taylor in that circumstance. Also, taking a chance with Pivetta's wellbeing for an individual achievement would have been silly. Johan Santana is a definitive wake up call in this sense. The Mets forgot about him to toss 134 contributes the main no-hitter in establishment history on June 1, 2012. He was never the equivalent a short time later, showing up in his vocation, with a 8.27 ERA. 

It's really awful Pivetta didn't get an opportunity at the no-no. Yet, his administrator made the best decision. 

What does every other person think? Should Cora have left Pivetta in? I'll hear you in the remarks.
