The fact that the Sox have never seen this Wisler guy means that he'll probably toss a 2 hit shutout.

I didn't want to say it. That was definitely the case a few years ago, but maybe it'll be different that they have a lot more young guys in lineup now.

Not sure if you are serious or not but I usually dread seeing the Sox face pitchers that they have not seen before. Maybe it's just coincidence, but I have seen some really weak batting against such pitchers.

Look at what Teheran did last night, and he's not even really good. Wisler is a very league average pitcher, and the sox for some reason can't hit bad pitching all that well sometimes. I feel like it'll be a small score game like last night

We need a sweep in this series, you are not going to find so many bad teams going forward.

 

Price redeems himself and hang a 0 through 8 IP tonight.

Price willl really want to pitch well tonight and will be encouraged by the weak Braves lineup. In MLB, unlike the NBA, even lousy teams can beat really good teams. My key concern, surprisingly, is that the Sox will have a letdown after winning in 12, getting short sleep after traveling from Houston to Atlanta but still gutting out another win.

 

Sox will have five righty (Betts, Pedey, Bogaerts, Ramirez, Vazquez) and three lefty (Shaw, Holt, JBJ) bats in the lineup against a righty starter. Price is a 4th lefty bat, but . . .

 

The Sox continue to lead the AL in runs scored/game, which tells me the lineup ain't too shabby, and I think it will get better. The good hitting should be no surprise because these guys hit well in August and September last year.

 

Sox are also dead last in the AL in dingers, which doesn't bother me at all because they lead in doubles.

 

If the rotation doesn 't wear them out--a definite possibility--the bullpen looks good too.

 

As others have noted, Wisler (not his mother) is 23 and has three decent starts, especially his latest against the Dodgers (6.2 innings, 1 unearned run, 6 k's, 2 BB/s), so he could be trouble.

 

But, hey, the Sox right now are in fat city, 1 game above .500 and just 1.5 back of the Orioles. I'd say they also have the best manager in the AL, but would probably get banned. So let's just say he ain't been fired yet.

I like Farrell, and think he gets entirely too much blame when things aren't going well.

 

He gets a lot of the blame because he makes a lot of head-scratching decisions. If he was a better in-game tactician he wouldn't get so much flak. Unfortunately, he's not very good at in-game management.

i like John Farrell as well but almost every game he leaves me confused. I'm sure that it has already been discussed over and over somewhere but last night's lineup without both Ortiz and Ramirez. I understand that everybody was tired but you take both of those bats out of the lineup at the same time? really - your two best potential power producers. Someone enlighten me as to why this was a good move please.

Price better not f*** this up.

 

I think he'll be fine since we're on the road. Worry more about the home games with him. Hope that ends SOON.

Glad to be wrong.

Shaw destroyed that.

 

Game is already won, Price will shut it down

 

This!

Price will use this game to regain confidence moving forward.
