5/14 vs Joe Kelly

[NativeBostonian]

What a play!!!!!

[SoxHop]

wtf?

[Station 13]

Farrell sent him or what? hit and run?

[Jasonbay44]

WTF Hanley

[Station 13]

f***ing bench Nap already.

[SoxHop]

Farrell sent him or what? hit and run?

 

Must have sent him. Nap swung......

 

Betting on Nap to make contact right now is a bad bet.

 

Or....

 

Hanley is a total dumbass

[SoxHop]

f***ing bench Nap already.

 

He's killing us....... I'd rather see anyone else on the team up in a situation than him. Goes going to go below 150 avg soon.

I thought Napoli was catching fire over the weekend and at the beginning of the week. That certainly fizzled.

[a700hitter]

Barnes looked like a big spaz on that play. Pedroia could hardly contain his laughter.

[SoxHop]

Just what the doctor ordered.

[NativeBostonian]

Nice dp

[SoxHop]

Right on Holt!!!

[Station 13]

Rodney is a dick.

[NativeBostonian]

Hahahaha

[SoxHop]

Betts is a f***ing stud!!!!!!!!!!

[NativeBostonian]

That was weeks!

[Station 13]

Good job Mookie.

[Station 13]

Pedroia RISP is so awful.

[Palodios]

Hanley has 4 hits, 0 R, 0 RBIs. That seems like a rare one.

[SoxHop]

add 2 failed steal attempts....

[NativeBostonian]

Good win tonight.

[Spudboy]

A win streak is born.

 

Another close one but another win.

 

Cool.

[SoxHop]

The pitching has stepped it up the last two night, the offense has squeaked by. But if that is how we need to win right now I'll take it.

 

Good job Kelly.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Koji is pitching like he did in 2013. I guess he managed to sell or give away all of his f***s from last year.

[Station 13]

Victory!

 

Offense wake up!

[Bellhorn04]

My mojo for games that I fall asleep during consists of going to the Boston Globe sports page the next morning for the headline that tells me who won LOL. It's a sweet feeling when it comes up Sox W.

I continue to be amazed at how he consistently gets guys out with his velocity. The last 2 or 3 pitches he threw last night registered at 79 mph and they didn't look like splitters.

[Bellhorn04]

Koji and Tazawa have been saving this team's bacon.

[a700hitter]

I am thrilled that the team is playing better than .500 on the West Coast trip. They need to hang in there until the rottation can be upgraded at a couple of spots. They are in the process of upgrading Masterson's spot. Maybe Wright will seize the moment. It is probably his last chance. We need for the other spot to shake out. Will Buch or Kelly right their ships. If one falters, next up Brian Johnson.

 

In the meantime, the Yankees are failing to capitalize on the fact that the rest of the division is injured and/or in disarray. They may regret not having put more games in the W column in this stretch.

There is no doubt that both will be problems for the rest of the year. We desperately need an upgrade in the rotation, but only one. I still need time to come to conclusions about Kelly and Miley. Seems like they are working better with the new pitching coach, at least thus far. I still believe this is a playoff team, capable of winning the World Series. If things go in the direction they're headed in now, I think we'll win the division, since it is so weak. The Yankees just don't have enough pieces. That rotation can't hold them together forever. That bullpen will come back down to Earth as well, largely because they will be losing many close games, instead of winning them like they are now.

 

I have great faith in the capabilities of this team.
