6/4 @ Baltimore

[Youk Of The Nation]

I think Blaine Boyer's parents must have spent the entire nine months of pregnancy trying to find the absolute pinnacle of douche-sounding names for their son. Seriously, Blaine Boyer sounds like a guy who dodges date-rape charges because his parents are incredibly wealthy or a guy who uploads videos of himself shooting sleeping homeless people with a paintball gun. Blaine Boyer sounds like an amalgamation of every guy that every one of us ever hated in high school. Blaine Boyer is the assistant manager of your first job; the guy who spent his whole shift in the parking lot smoking pot and making out with the underage cashier and then stormed back in ten minutes before closing to ask why everything wasn't done already.

Lmao, this is so true.

Robby Scott continues to be a very underrated asset out of the pen. He's been really good.

Very solid.

[d-money]

It would be a victory if they can split this series after losing the first two. Yankees lose as well.

[NativeBostonian]

Kid needs to stop pooping. I keep missing plays.

[Jasonbay44]

Hopefully this is one of those games that gets Benintendi going. 3 hits, 2 homers, 3 RBI and a SB.

[Jasonbay44]

Ill happily take a split on the road against the Orioles. Good win today.

[Spudboy]

Players go to second all the time in that situation. ALL the TIME........... They had him if Marrero was covering.....

 

Remy put it all on Merrero as he was nowhere near the bag and he also said that you go for the easiest play for the out and that was to second.

 

Was Remy covering for Pablow?

Classic Youk!

There was an actual Blaine B. at my high school who carved an obscene joke in a desk that I've never quite forgotten. I won't give his last name because of privacy considerations and all that but it was a fairly close comp to Boyer.

Blaine IS a horrible name. Sounds like a Jeremy Piven character circa 1988.

[Emp9]

Good game thread ppl. A little too rapey for my taste but you kept your collective heads on a swivel and we f***in' won. I'm so happy with the outcome take tomorrow off.

When a Red Sox player swims around a tag it is awesome and genius baserunning. When it happens against the Sox is awful and lazy defense.

 

And this is why this dude is my favorite tweeter.

 

Seriously, I don't get jumping all over Pablo for the base runner that did a good job of eluding the tag.

 

I'm not saying that Pablo doesn't have his problems defensively, but that play was not one of them.

He's been very good. Our Kimbrel-less pen did a very good job today.

 

Excellent win!

It was awesome base running as it is when our guys do it. It is also poor defense when the opposition misses our guys as it was with Pablo today.

Pablo's well on his way to a third straight negative WAR season!

Not something to celebrate.

I get that Marrero was the one that screwed up on the throw to second in the first inning, but they should've still charged an error to Pablo. Plus, there was that throw last night that Moreland was lucky enough to stay on the bag for.

I no longer have any doubts that you are lying to us when you say that you don't have a life.

Up next is Pomeranz vs. Tanaka at Yankee Stadium. Given Tanaka's 6.34 ERA, one would think we will win easily, but Tanaka also shut the Sox out a tad over a month ago--0 runs in 9 innings.

Tanaka has been either great or terrible.

I prefer this Blaine.

[Maxbialystock]

Tanaka has been either great or terrible.

 

Pomeranz too: 10 starts, 4 quality starts. But his last three, in order were: decent, good, best this year (7 innings, 1 run, and 8 K's). Tanaka is better when both are on.

The problem as I see it here Max is that Pomeranz is going to be pitching to the Yankees.
