This is a pretty good lineup for the Sox when all are healthy and producing at or near career norms.

 

I don't expect Drew or Napoli to hit with great efficiency anytime soon because of timing and injury issues. But that could change! Pedroia is hurt too no matter what anyone says!!! He knows how to hit and never forgets. I don't buy into the idea that he is on the "decline". He's just hurt again do to getting hit by a pitch and falling on his bad hand, I think. I hope his hand does not get worse.

 

I think that Nava will start to hit again because he is a professional hitter not some scrub as so many on this board say. If he gets back to form and both Drew and Napoli start to hit as well this team has some pretty good offense. I have little confidence that Victorino will return and produce on a consistent basis because of the nature of his injuries. Hamstring problems tend to linger as we have seen before. Maybe I am wrong and I hope that I am.

 

Let's all cut Holt some slack in LF and let him grow into the position before labeling him as a poor defensive outfielder. Can we do this?

[Palodios]

Holt is in left field! Is that new ?

[Spudboy]

Holt is in left field! Is that new ?

 

Yes I believe this is his first game out in left Let's wish him well!!

If he hacks it up out there, it will be mentioned. I don't know when or if he has played the OF in his career. It is not an easy transition to make at the major league level if you have not previously played the OF.

[Station 13]

As usual, this team has issue hitting the breaking ball.

[VA Sox Fan]

Come on Lackey!

[Station 13]

Nice play Xander!

 

Score runs!

[NativeBostonian]

Come on Napoli!

[NativeBostonian]

hahaha Can't bleep that!

[a700hitter]

The lineup is making Sanchez work. He's over 60 pitches in 3 innings. Sox up 1-0.

[NativeBostonian]

Holt!!!

[a700hitter]

What a catch by Holt!! I thought that had triple written all over it the way he went after it.

[Spudboy]

Holt is a scrub!

[Station 13]

Drew sucks.

[a700hitter]

We only have the one run, but they have worked Sanchez pitch count up to 85 after 4 innings. Top of the order wil face him in the 5th.

[NativeBostonian]

Drew sucks.

 

That's going to happen when you haven't played in a while.

Overpaid still. $10M?

[NativeBostonian]

There is no arguing that. Way too much money.

[Station 13]

And JBJ is overmatch. Why does he strike out this much?

[NativeBostonian]

And JBJ is overmatch. Why does he strike out this much?

 

We'd all like to know that. He's been given a lot more time to prove himself, than a normal kid would get, and he's not been able to show us anything.

[NativeBostonian]

Welcome back!

[a700hitter]

Napoli goes deep for the tie. Sanchez is at 103 pitches.

[Station 13]

the Napoli is back

[Station 13]

AJ is a bonehead.
