Porcello v Paxton

 

Paxton has been the Ace for Seattle thus far this season so tonight is a great night to jump on him early and often. time to bludgeon someone.

which Rik shows up? big, gerthy, small, or limp dik rik? size matters boys.

 

EFF Showalter x 5

Rick is going to throw that D around like a fish at Pike Place.

Sox have problems vs. lefty starters, but it's hard not to have faith in them right now. A very nice win last night. Porcello needs to have good command tonight to win, but he is so much better this year than last.

 

Possible Holt will replace Nunez at 2b because this year he hits lefties a lot better. I still see Beni in LF, Devers at 3b, and Moreland at 1B and I don't remember whether Porcello has a preference for who catches him.

 

I certainly won't complain about a split, but right now I'd like to see 3-1--thanks to Price last night.

Not living in New England, I don't see much casual news on the Sox, only MLB type feeds. But have not seen even an update on Pedroia for a few days regarding taming his inflammation. Like others I think the Sox need to be ready to move on with little or only late season contribution from Pedey, which is regrettable but maybe a lot better next year. What do those closer to the scene hear about him ?

[Kimmi]

Nice way to open the series last night.

 

Keep things rolling Sox!

 

WIN!!!

No news of Pedey is not good news. If he were making progress, we would know about it. Others want DD to get another 2b, but I'm fine with Nunez and Holt, imperfect as they are. Unless a really good one becomes available cheap, of course.

Red Sox's Dustin Pedroia: Continues to deal with inflammation

by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire

Pedroia will step away from baseball activities due to the lingering inflammation in his left knee, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

 

Pedroia was recently able to resume hitting and playing catch but will take a break from all activities for the time being to give his knee the best chance to heal. The Red Sox have yet to describe a timetable for their second baseman, but a multi-week absence isn't out of the question, especially considering the knee troubles Pedroia has dealt with in the past.

Plus there's the little matter of Pedroia coming back after missing two months or so and playing, what 2 games?

Nunez turn is hopefully around the corner.

Maybe Cora will use Andrew as a pinch hitter. Only kidding.

[a700hitter]

Maybe Cora will use Andrew as a pinch hitter. Only kidding.

He could use him to pinch run instead of Wright.

[d-money]

The rays are just awful. Not helping us. Gonna have to keep winning.

[Station 13]

they are facing a very tough left hander tonight.

 

Paxton has a reverse split. Plus Benni hits better vs LHP than Nunie.

[d-money]

Need porcello to pitch a good game. That would be a game with 3 runs or less in 7 innings.

[d-money]

Skanks win. Hope we find a way to hit Paxton and win the game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If it's true that good teams beat the teams they should beat, then isn't it also true if a team has the best record in MLB, that team should beat everybody?

[fxkatt]

Yanks have won 47% of their winning games by 1 run this season. Is that Fate or what. No wonder they survive so many guys with low averages.

In baseball, the better team should win the series vs bad teams and should split the season series vs other good teams. Even the worst teams win a third of their games

[jung]

No wonder Paxton is having a heck of a year. Hope he can't keep this up. He is just pitching to places that make it tough to even get the bat on it.

It's also a testament to our pen. We get leads and we don't give them up

The way Paxton has pitched against Boston so far in his career, it may not matter. Did you see that ERA vs. the Sox? 0.39 in 23 innings. That's 1 run in all those innings folks.
