SS on many teams is a key hitting position as much as defense.  Not so much in Boston

Lots of times a long AB results in a deserved hit. Not so much for Mayer

 

 

At least he may have hastened Schlittler’s exit from the game by an inning.

Contrares comes through again. He's been better than advertised.

The Sox killer has finally been arrested.

Cedanne lucky the throw home was wide. The slide into second tells me he forgot how many outs there were.

[vegasbob]

Rafaela got it home despite an odd delay.

Lucky the open gate  coach at 3rd waved him on.

Support for Sanchez. 

Masa had no clue what he was doing at the plate

Not sure I’d go that far, but his career ERA against Boston did jump from 0.56 to 0.83.

You would think the first thing the 1st base coach would tell the runner is how many outs there are.

I don't know. 2 runs in 21 innings is at least manslaughter.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Volpe still not a favorite with Yankem fans.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another slide into first. When will they ever learn?

I was taught there’s only one time to slide into first; when you can see the throw is wide plate side so you try to avoid a possible tag by the first baseman by sliding under it.

100%.

A very fine demonstration of pitching by Suarez. Up and down, change of speed and great command. That defines what pitching is all about.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wasn't gonna mention this, but back in early April I predicted to myself that Gasper would be the Sox #1 catcher by mid May.

And if you believe that, I've got a Japanese ballplayer you might be interested in.

Suarez pitched a very good game

Slaten still can't pitch with 2 outs. That was a center cut cookie

[Tedballgame]

Slaten blew the Minnesota game a couple of weeks ago and now has blown today's game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Looks like another very good start is wasted. Pathetic.

He won't be the #1 much longer. Can't throw

[Tedballgame]

Tracy left him in long enough to give up another run to put the game away. Good job.

Then he should be in the Sox bullpen.

Still can't throw

[illinoisredsox]

Bottom line today is 1 run scored.

This is where no Whitlock hurts.

Tracy is pretty much Cora 2.0.

99% of the time guys are stupid for sliding into first. If you got there faster they would be sliding in the Olympic 100 meter dash.

[vegasbob]

Slaten cannot handle adversity. An other weak mind

Like Whitlock is a shut down guy. He sucks too.

[illinoisredsox]

Bottom line is 1 run scored.  Thats the whole game right there.  This was not going to end up on the plus side for the good guys with that output.

You got the right culprits. 

1 run scored does not win many.

And the other 2 catchers can't hit. And with this line-up the Sox can't afford anymore players who can't hit.
