Sick of this inconsistent team. Struggle against the good teams.

To be fair they've struggled against every team lately, good or bad. lol

[bowman]

Like to see someone like Will Myers in left. We need one more masher, just saying

[Station 13]

Pedroia solution is to just switch him and Betts in the order. It's like flipping a damn light switch. Both still bat in the 1st inning.

[Jasonbay44]

Ortiz!! Record for most doubles in a season is 67 set in 1933 by Earl Webb. Ortiz currently has 34.. Could he have a legit shot at beating that record?

[Nick]

Pedy is going to get old fast.....no way his body will hold up until 2021

[Jasonbay44]

Hanley has been on FIRE. This is great to see.

[Jasonbay44]

BROCK HOLT! That's why we love him!!

[Nick]

Holt is really good....lol

[TylerD]

Offensive battle

Leone en fuego

[Jasonbay44]

It's f***ing ******** that MLB.com doesn't offer Sandy Leon player shirts.. Guess I'll have to order a custom made one

[Jasonbay44]

Have a day, Brock Holt!!

[Spudboy]

Overlooked in discussions of improving this team for a play-off run is the need to upgrade our utility player.

 

We should try to get someone who can hit home runs and make deadly throws.

This umpire is awful

This umpire is awful

 

You know who's awful JBay? You're awful....wanna know why? Because umpires are awesome, and no one should lower the game's enjoyment factor by messing with:

 

THE HUMAN ELEMENT!!!!11!!!!

Umpire reminds me of little league ump.....no matter what the ball is a strike on 3-0. I used to hate that, your approach at the plate changes. Gives a pitcher huge advantage.

Feeling hurter

[a700hitter]

Up 6-4, not watching but I am happy that we have recovered the lead.

[Nick]

better get more runs.....no movement on my 98 mph fastball Barnes coming in...

[Maxbialystock]

Umpire is definitely not good, nor has he prevented the better pitcher and his team from getting a lead. Indeed, Porcello's biggest problem in the first inning was the error by Leon that led to 2 unearned runs.

[Bellhorn04]

Shuffle this lineup so we can get some damn offense going!

[Maxbialystock]

I certainly didn't think we missed Holt, but in these three games, all wins (big assumption about today), he has been a real tonic. Great dinger to right center and great throw home to nail a runner from 2b who was running with two outs. Two hits in each of his first two games back.

No it wasn't.....it was Pedy gone to sleep when he had chance to get the third out on Prince Fielder.....

[Elktonnick]

The offense came alive. Doubles galore and how about Brock Holt, one can see that the concussion really messed him up. Glad to see he has recovered.

I honestly don't think it makes that much differece who bats where with these guys. Betts leads off and leads the team in runs scored, but he is also second in rbi's. And the lineup only leads MLB in runs scored by 25 runs or so.

1. That wasn't an error. 2. If Pedey goes for the out on Fielder the guy on 3B could score before we actually tag Fielder. I agree, he probably should have gone for Fielder, but the run was also possible.

[bosoxmal]

I think that was Mookie's first error of the season?

[Maxbialystock]

Gritty start by Porcello against a good hitting team. Now the box score says that 3 of the 4 first inning runs were earned.
