[mvp 78]

@PeteAbe: David Ortiz, semi jokingly: "Papi woke up angry today. You'll see."

[Youk Of The Nation]

Apparently so! 497!

[Jasonbay44]

Castillo is a moron

[Jasonbay44]

JBJ is turning into a stud

[Youk Of The Nation]

Jackie Bradley Jr. might hit 500 XBH before Ortiz hits 500HR, holy s*** is this guy on fire.

[Bellhorn04]

Ebj!

And we saw in the first inning.

[Jasonbay44]

Josh Rutledge is quietly hitting .341 with .396 OBP... Lol what the hell

Yeah, in 44 AB. I'm not getting excited about that. I fully admit I was wrong about JBJ though, I thought he'd never mature into a major leaguer, apparently all he needed was the lower pressure of a season probably going nowhere.

I'm not saying Im excited I just saw his stats and had no idea he was doing that good at all. It seems like everyone on the team is on fire right now at the plate

[Jasonbay44]

Just missed 498

[RedSoxNC84]

Wow it literally took an hour to play 2 innings lol.

[Jasonbay44]

Betts and JBJ make these difficult plays look absurdly easy.

[Bellhorn04]

Bradley hitting enough to play full time is huge for this team.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I've only got Gameday to go on right now. Why is Craig in? Did Ortiz get hurt, or is it just a "take him out with the lead and let him rest" situation?

[Youk Of The Nation]

Gameday just updated. Injured leg. Did it look bad?

[Bellhorn04]

Pete Abraham ‏@PeteAbe

Ortiz left the game with a tight right calf.

[Thunder]

And that shall close the book. It's a sweep!!! This also ends interleague play for 2015. Sox finish at 13-7, playing against the rather terrible NL East, minus the Mets.

[a700hitter]

Nice sweep. Nice thread title. The Phillies are a bunch of nobodies.

[Thunder]

If we go 17-9 the rest of the way, we can finish at .500. It's not out of reach.

[mvp 78]

What's the point in that?

[Bellhorn04]

What's the point in that?

 

Not having to hear 700hitter continually refer to 3 last place finishes in 4 years.

[Kimmi]

Ebj!

 

EBJ? Am I missing something?

[Kimmi]

Not having to hear 700hitter continually refer to 3 last place finishes in 4 years.

 

LOL Well done sir.

[jacksonianmarch]

I hope to high heaven that you guys finish .500. Go for it! That means you wont have a protected pick!

[Bellhorn04]

EBJ? Am I missing something?

 

The EB is for the Extra Base Hits Jackie has been racking up.

[Bellhorn04]

I hope to high heaven that you guys finish .500. Go for it! That means you wont have a protected pick!

 

Yes, that would be tragic. Like I say, it's a sad state of affairs when a baseball fan is valuing a 'protected pick' over seeing his team playing good ball and winning games. I'd rather have the kids on the team performing and gaining confidence, thanks.

Realistically, we could finish 3rd. We're only 3 behind the Rays. If the O's lose to the Yanks today, we're tied with them. I would like to get to .500 because it wouldn't mean a lost season.
