Could have been worse I guess.

yeah, but his pitch count went through the roof that inning, he will be lucky to go 5 now

[FredLynn]

DurBUM hitting.168. He’s been a disaster.

[Tedballgame]

Its bad enough that Rafaela swung at a 3-0 pitch. The he tries to pull a ball that is off of the outside corner. Terrible plate discipline. Coach should have given him an automatic take sign on 3-0.

Has to be the worst hitter in MLB.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The bottom of the 2nd was more Sox like.

[Tedballgame]

Tolle has no control tonight.

Of the 169 batters in MLB who qualified Durbin is 167th. At number 169 is Cal Raleigh, whose average is .161. 

[FredLynn]

For a crap team there are some positives: they finally have some very good young SPing. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Rocket took PED's and when confronted, he threw his wife under the bus.

Yeah, he's a fine upstanding citizen. Hey, OB, don't forget to kiss his ring.

I had the displeasure of meeting Clemens. I wasn't disappointed. He was a complete jerk.

Yeah Marty Barrett did not have the highest opinion of him either, real uppity if I recall correctly

[vegasbob]

Mayer has no clue how to hit a LH pitcher. He needs to become a fulltime player but he shows LL fear of getting hit by a LH'er

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sogard has been a pleasant surprise. Similar to Gasper, until Gasper found out he was Gasper.

[FredLynn]

The Twins are catching the Little League baseball bug from the Flops.

He needs to quit pulling off like he has already walked

Actually, the Sox defense is amongst the best in MLB. You'd know that if you weren't watching so much basketball.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When's the last time the Sox scored 6 runs at Fenway? I'm pretty damn sure it's been awhile.

[alsoason]

Nice quick inning there for Tolle

Just checked. On April 20th the Sox beat Detroit 8-6.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The man w/o a position will begin playing the OF at WOO.

75 PC/5 is about normal.  After the start he had, that's pretty good.  Saves us from having to use the BP.  I'll be real happy with a win, but I'd be even happier if we could get a couple more runs and spare our key guys.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice grab by the guy wearing the tools of ignorance.

44 pitches the first 2 and 40 to get through the next 4, he turned it around

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A MLB defined quality start by Tolle tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Durbin's hit the ball hard twice tonight. Baby steps.

[alsoason]

Worcester haS a body that plays 3B, they need to move that body some 30 miles east, the name does not matter, as long as it is NOT DURBIN!

He has one less RBI than the laughingly overpaid Bregman.

[alsoason]

Should have let Tolle throw in the 7th
