6/18 vs Mariners

[Kimmi]

It's time to put the 'Summer Vacation' mojo to work. This is some pretty powerful stuff and it will not be beaten.

 

Go Sox!

 

 

Mariners @ Red Sox

4pm @ Fenway

 

 

Sampson (Big League debut)

24 year old right hander expected to be added to the roster today to replace the injured Wade Miley. Acquired from the Pirates last July for JA Happ, was 7-4/ 3.25 in 13 starts for Tacoma.

 

 

Porcello 7-2/ 3.81

Gave up 4 runs (1 earned) over 7 innings in a loss to the Twins in his last start. He is perfect at Fenway this season going 5-0/ 3.03.

Need this win pretty bad. Jays are absolutely on fire and we are cooling off in the worst way. Somehow need to find our MOJO again

[Spudboy]

The Sox are circulating the toilet.

 

This season can be gone in the blink of an eye.

 

They need to rip off a string of wins.

 

GO SOX!!1!!!

[VA Sox Fan]

Kimmi MOJO!! WIN!!

[Jack Flap]

Let's give this Sampson kid a rude welcome to MLB.

[Nick]

hit into double play by Dustin....

[Station 13]

If there's one thing Pedroia does consistently is hit into double play with our fastest runner on.

Hard to rip off a string of wins with only two reliable pitchers.

This! However lately the offense has been sinking as well. The team just looks totally different the last few games.... certainly off to another crap start again.

[royplayer]

Porcello, Sandovall, Ramirez and Buchholz; looks like Cherington has screwed us for years to come.

[royplayer]

Only so many times they can come back before it gets to them psychologically.

[royplayer]

Can't say the offense has had much luck lately. Case in point, ball rockets off the pitcher and goes right to the shortstop.

Porcello entered the game with a 3.81 ERA.

Porcello entered the game with a 3.81 ERA.

 

He had a good start. But, he's starting to turn back into a pumpkin.

[Station 13]

He had a good start. But, he's starting to turn back into a pumpkin.

 

Not really, he has consistently pitch 6+ inning. He's far from a problem.

[Station 13]

JBJ is heating up again. Can Shaw and Hanley do that?

[Jasonbay44]

Agreed. Id gladly take two more Rick Porcello's on the roster in place of Buchholz/Kelly/E-Rod/Elias/Owens/O'Sullivan

[Jasonbay44]

Chris Young and Vazquez with a perfectly executed hit and run. 1st and 3rd no one out and Mookie coming up. C'mon Mookie, lets have a big inning.

[Jasonbay44]

Mookie!

[Jasonbay44]

Can Pedroia stop hitting into f***ing double plays.

[Station 13]

f*** you Pedroia.

[Jasonbay44]

Xander!

[Nick]

would've been more it not for DP

[TylerD]

Offense coming to play a bit

[Jasonbay44]

Nice day for Vazquez

[NativeBostonian]

Hanley!

[Slasher9]

Kimmi mojo FTW!

[a700hitter]

Good job by Porcello today.

[Kimmi]

JBJ is heating up again. Can Shaw and Hanley do that?

 

Shaw and Hanley seem to be breaking out of it, while Pedroia seems to be in a bit of a funk.

[Kimmi]

Good job by Porcello today.

 

He got himself into jams, but he was able to work his way out of them. The 3rd inning when he had runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs but escaped without giving up any runs was huge. He settled in very nicely after that.
