Another BS seeing eye hit -- this one a double. Porcello is having s*** luck tonight.
-
Benintendi flopping around like a seal.
-
That is unfortunate for him.
-
Keep the pressure on!
-
Back to back hits. Good start to the inning.
-
The Ball is carrying tonight. Porcello got burned on the swinging bunt.
-
I think that he is pitching very well. He got a big DP ball that inning. Great play by Pedroia on the dribbler for the 3rd out.
-
I don't think he got on him. He just can't explain the power outage.
-
If he gives up 1 or 0 HRs we win. Last year, my bogey on HRs was 2 or less, but not with this year's offense.

I agree, but there is this school of thought that lineups, game decisions and base running and fielding coaching don't matter. I think those things are important, but if they are right, I don't see managers having a huge impact on clubhouse chemistry. Also, the clubs have travel secretaries and press secretaries. Why would a manger be needed?
-
I think a manager's impact on clubhouse chemistry is greatly overstated. If that is the biggest part of their job, just hire a Hall monitor, and fire all the managers. Lineups don't matter. In game management has very little to no impact. First and third base coaches have nothing to do with stupid base running or fielding as that is all learned at levels below the majors. Every team employs a Press Secretary, so we don't need a manager to interact with the press. Managers and coaching staffs are clearly unnecessary appendages -- anachronisms. Fire them and save a few million in salaries and benefits.

Has he played any 3B?
-
They sent down Velasquez.
-
This is about the time when Porcello kicked it into gear last season.
-
I would prefer a forfeit to save the Bullpen.
-
It had been on MLB.com probable pitchers, but I just looked and now they have both Saturday and Sunday listed as TBD.

Farrell's job was saved by the cancer diagnosis in 2015. On his way to his second straight last place finish, his head was on the chopping block. When I heard that there was a big news story about Farrell, I just assumed that he had been fired. But for the cancer, I still believe that Farrell would have been terminated and Lovullo installed.
-
I would hope that you would be right, but I don't share your confidence on this issue. Anyway, hopefully we pay well enough that it doesn't become an issue.
-
And the whole while Crawford had a damaged wrist and elbow, but we confirmed that he did not go clubbing. -
LOL!! High tech. The FO will pour over his stats, but give him a half assed medical exam. Just a bit stupid. It would be like all the engineers inspecting a plane and clearing it for proper maintenance, but forgetting to gas it up.

Who is the worst pitcher in Red Sox history?
a700hitter replied to Northern Star's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Oh yeah, he was a complete bust and a dog. -
It would be better just to forfeit the game than to give Kendrick another start. At least, that would rest the bullpen.
-
That is because it doesn't take you very long to spot stupid. A lot of people gave him a pass for that and everything else. It was upsetting to watch 2 of those starting pitchers win a World Series for the Cubs when a competent GM would have kept them on the Red Sox.
-
Sale is pitching on Wednesday, Pom on Thurs, ERod on Friday and Kendrick gets another chance to forfeit a game on Saturday.
-
At what point did you want Ben & Cherries out?
