[Brock Beauchamp]

Well, yesterday was wild. Are the Red Sox going to see a bounce after that early-season housecleaning?

Nothing posted. I’ll take a guess despite all I know about Tracy is he is a former Dbacks infielder who just saw his career evaporate by age 26, but hung on for several more years.  Ok that saud

Duran LF

Anthony/Yoshida DH. (Is Roman back yet?)

Contreras 1b

Abreu RF

Story 2b

Mayer SS

Durbin 3b

Rafaela CF

Wong C

Line up is in - 

 

J. Duran LF

W. Contreras 1B

R. Anthony DH

W. Abreu RF

C. Rafaela CF

M. Mayer 2B

C. Durbin 3B

C. Wong C

A. Monasterio SS

 

C. Early SP

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Oh no -- two lefty batters hitting back-to-back, 3rd and 4th in the order. 

What could possibly happen if foes bring in a southpaw reliever with the game on the line?

How about: anything.

I had a couple changes right - Duran back to leadoff (first suggested by 5Gold but I agreed), and keeping Wong’s hotter bat in the lineup.

 

Not at all on board with Monasterio starting at SS instead of Mayer.  But I shouldn’t be so shocked to see him starting today either…

The Sox seem to be struggling with RHP, too.  In fact, some of those lefties - notably Duran - have been doing better vs southpaws…

And some of their righty hitters are pathetic vs. southpaws. The season is so Pretzel Logic.

Yes, I'm dying to be a star

And make them laugh.

I'm good with Monasterio starting (I like what I see with him), but surprised to see him at SS.
