OK, this is for you Thunder. I volunteered again for this assignment. What can I say to my friends out there? We send Jon Lester to the hill tonight to face Phil Hughes, who is 7-2 with a 3.17 ERA this season, and much lower the past month. Jon has pitched very well for us this season save a couple of games and we need to give him as much support as we can. We handled Hughes very well last season when he pitched for the Yankees and we have a few hitters who have had success against him, but since our offense has been in a funk we need a top notch effort from Lester tonight to take the series and set up a hat trick tomorrow---and that's what I think our team needs.

 

A new wrinkle tonight.......Brock Holt is playing CF and you know what? I think he can do just fine out there. Since Ross is Lester's personal catcher we need to have as many hitters in the lineup as possible so Jackie Bradley gets a night off. The only bummer is that Jonny Gomes is in left and we're facing a righty. Daniel Nava seems to be warming up and our bullpen seems well rested, but it would be swell if tonight we push a bunch of tallies across the plate.

 

Holt---Bogaerts---Pedroia---Ortiz---Napoli---Nava----Gomes----Drew-----Ross. If they do their jobs I see a win tonight.;);););)

No reason to fear Holt in center. He may not be completely familiar with the wall and triangle but who is until they play there a bunch?

 

It sure would be nice to see long at bats and many hits / runs!!!!

 

GO SOX!!!!

This OF reminds me of an OF that I watched patrol Fenway for a few games: Jeff Frye in RF, Daubach in LF and Curtis Pride in CF. At least Pride was a real OFer. Tonight's OF makes me gag a little.

That was just plain old good baseball by Holt.

 

He was backing up the play when because he was tracking the ball he could make the play.
