And Masterson is once again proving his inability to handle lefties

 

Well Jacoby and Salty couldn't do anything...

I blinked and missed Iggy's AB

 

 

I really think that was a great play by Pedey. He does stuff like this so often I think we almost take him for granted at this point. This year especially....he has been a walking highlight reel.

You mean to tell me his slider isn't the difference maker it was made out to be?

 

Considering that even with some good luck aiding him lefties are hitting .100 more in OPS against him, that's exactly what i mean.

Farrell should simply prevent Salty from throwing the ball to anywhere but back to the pitcher or 2nd base. Seems like about 1 out of every 3 Salty throws to either 1st or 3rd ends up rolling around in the outfield.

Now that I think about it.....probably the only reason Salty's throws to 2nd generally don't end up rolling around in the outfield is because the middle infielders have more time to react to where the ball is going. Surprised Salty gets the ball back to the pitcher with regularity.

One thing I appreciate about Lackey this year that we did not get to see earlier in his Sox career is the way he sets hitters up. He struggled so much through 2011 and there were days when he just did not have command of everything he can throw when he is right. He really is a very polished and professional pitcher in many ways.

 

Now that I have set myself up, I am sure he will go out and pipe three parking lot shots right though the heart next inning.

I live just about an hour north of Fenway. If it is raining there like it is here...man that would be miserable weather for the ballplayers. This is a very cold, bitter, and bitting rain here tonight...more like a fall than a spring rain.
