Duran needs a change of scenery 

He has an MiLB option. Maybe he needs to learn to love the game again.

[mvp 78]

Please, no more Duran.

Mayer and Duran would help Worcester's MiLB playoff chances 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Luv those DP's.

[vegasbob]

Damn GG OF'ers Whitlock doesn't get the same D that others do. But he does get a nice DP

That was a lazy play by CF/RF

.It was Rafaela's ball

WOO is me.

If Chad keeps this up, he may not be an interim manager much longer.

[vegasbob]

What do we think the pitching plan is with Whitlock in the 7th ?

Looking for 2 innings from him. Bello in 8th. I think not

[vegasbob]

Sox need 3 runs to close this out safely

[vegasbob]

Slaten for the 8th. Slight roll of the dice

True.

Unlike Sammy Sosa no cork rolled out.

Still?

He’s been in the league forever 

Because he’s been in the majors for at least five years he would have to consent to being sent down.

That won’t happen 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice job by Slaten and he also broke two of Junior's bats.

[mvp 78]

Pinch hitting for Masa not Duran?

[vegasbob]

Sox needed runs there to help with the differential. 

Also to make Chapman sweat less

He’s having a bad year.  It happens.  

A year ago, Connor Wong was going through July with fewer RBI than thumbs and an OPS that would only be scary as a cholesterol level.  It was just a bad year and no one even thinks about it anymore…

Strange to be 8 games behind a team and have a better run differential 

[vegasbob]

Incredible win streak, incredible comeback to .500. winning at Fenway 

[mvp 78]

.500!!!

[FredLynn]

Anyone expect this run?

I have no memory of that at all.
