Please God win this game. Pitch, hit, field, whatever it takes!

[illinoisredsox]

Sogard is a great lead off guy. His ABs remind me of Boggs.

[Tedballgame]

Not a good start for E-Rod with a walk.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sogard. Sogood.

[vegasbob]

Sogard for Beni ??

[Tedballgame]

Throw strikes.

[vegasbob]

Erod with the 3-2 count on everyone working for him. Probably good for 5 innings

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JBJ is half-way to the HOF. Unfortunately, the other half is his offense.

[vegasbob]

0-2 to 3-2, way to go Eduardo

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sogard for Beni ??

 

Just checked. Sogard is 33. But the SOX need pitching, so Sogard won't help there.

[illinoisredsox]

Erod with the 3-2 count on everyone working for him. Probably good for 5 innings

 

Nah. For one thing, he’s 33. For another, he’s a career .247 hitter, and that includes this year’s .300+.

[jung]

Erod is really pronating that Changeup tonight. Not sure he wants that much movement on that pitch. He just wants it to not act like everything else that comes out of the LHer's pitching hand. We will have to see how this goes if he keeps throwing it that way. I would like to see him continue to go deeper into games as he has lately and he might just earn too many balls out of the strike zone not offered at that way.

[TylerD]

Scoring position. Xander the man. Also Mookie has really been on fire lately.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nah. For one thing, he’s 33. For another, he’s a career .247 hitter, and that includes this year’s .300+.

 

 

Sogard peaked late, while Beni peaked early.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Right now Devers is a line drive hitter who will hit his share of HR's. In that regard he is similar to Pujols.

[TylerD]

What a throw by JBJ

[illinoisredsox]

Sogard peaked late, while Beni peaked early.

 

Beni may or may not have peaked; it’s way too early to know. I don’t think he’s going to be a superstar, but there’s no reason to think he won’t be a decent major leaguer.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice throw by JBJ. Smoak continues to smoke the SOX.

[jad]

That was amazing! How many singles are hit off the CF wall in Fenway?

[illinoisredsox]

If it’s an ERod start, it must be raining.

[illinoisredsox]

Smoak is one of the slowest guys in the league but still ...

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Speed kills. Lack of speed gets killed.

[Tedballgame]

This umpire sucks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If it’s an ERod start, it must be raining.

 

 

It also must mean the SOX score, at least, 7 runs.

[TylerD]

If it’s an ERod start, it must be raining.

 

It gives him strength

[jung]

The OTHER JBJ in full bloom again.

[Tedballgame]

Vaz swings at a bad pitch and fails to score the runner from third. Geeeez!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Brockstar!

[TylerD]

We lead

[Tedballgame]

Mookie and J.D. are losing money this year.
