Come on!  He got rid of Rafy and put 30Million annually into his pocket!   That definitely helped the RedSox organization, maybe not the team, but (reading these posts) who cares about that?

Raffy said no way would he play 1b for the Sox.  Now he's playing 1b for the Giants.  So the Raffy "trade" isn't all on Breslow.

Nope. I’m glad the got rid of him and his s*** attitude.

But now the need to spend that $255M rather than pocket it.

This game is tougher than I expected, even with the 3-2 lead.  Kershaw has done surprisingly well with a slow fastball and a good mix of pitches.

Agree on spending it.    But it's not just the dollars, it's the trade because the other teams are going to want good players for good pitchers.

Crochet doesn’t have his good stuff today

A “bad” Crotchet start is still better than majority of the league

9 K's. What kind of stuff does he have tonight?

They don’t have to spend it before the deadline. Unless they can get someone of high value (unlikely) they could and SHOULD wait until the offseason when FAs become available.

Not his best stuff. Too few first pitch strikes and too many pitches.

Since the 3rd inning Crochet is no longer pitching to contact.

Maybe you should have said he doesn't have his best stuff.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great at bat by Breggy.

Nice throw by Narvaez.  Sox defense is helping.  

The 2d inning outburst has not been supplemented in innings 2 and 3.  

The 2 lefty bats, Anthony and Duran, for the Sox have 2 of the Sox 5 hits and 2 of the rbi's. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Timely hitting by Anthony.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bye bye Clayton.

He’s giving it everything he has. Can’t ask for more. A lot of guys would not be playing.

Lousy command, perhaps the result of the 2 first inning dingers.

He may be 21, but tonight he looks like a smart hitter.  He's been picking on a so-so Kershaw which other Sox hitters have mostly failed to do.  

[Maxbialystock]

Love the lead, but this game is a long way from over.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Crochet is not only the Ace of the Sox staff, he's also the  King, Queen and Jack.

[Jasonbay44]

Crotchet is awesome.

Very earlier in his career, but he seems like he’s the real deal. His plate discipline is great.

Physically he's 21, but baseball smart he's much older.

He battled today. Even at 80% he’s better than all but a few pitchers.

[FredLynn]

Rafaela will K

[Jasonbay44]

Duran with two triples. Trade him!
