In 85 games against other teams, Ciriaco is hitting .258 (65 of 252) with a .291 on-base percentage, a .353 slugging percentage, 16 RBIs and 25 runs scored. Stat of the Day II: Red Sox pitchers have 504 strikeouts, second in the major leagues. Red Sox batters have struck out 467 times, third in the major leagues. Red Sox batters have 2,157 plate appearances this season and their pitchers have faced 2,107 batters. So 971 of the 4,264 plate appearances involving the Red Sox this season have resulted in a strikeout. That's just under 23 percent. Notes: The Red Sox and Yankees have split four games this season, all played at the big stadium in the Bronx. ... Doubront has allowed six earned runs over 17 innings in his last three starts, dropping his ERA from 6.40 to 5.29. He is 1-1, 2.73 in eight career appearances against the Yankees, four of them starts. ... Hughes is 5-6, 4.95 in 20 career appearances against the Sox. But he was 3-1, 2.03 in four starts last season. Hughes didn't get out of the first inning against Seattle on May 15. He allowed three earned runs over 13 innings in the two starts that followed. ... Iglesias has reached safely in 13 of the 14 games he has played this season. ... If Ellsbury does not play, it would be the 240th game he has missed since the start of the 2010 season. That would be 44 percent of the games played. ... The Sox have dropped four of their last six road games.

All season as long as he's not injured.

Phillies vs. Morales: Howard 0-8, Rollins 2-7, Young 2-4, Frandsen 2-2, Revere 1-2, Brown 0-1, Galvis 1-1, Mayberry 0-1, Nix 0-1. Stat of the Day: The Red Sox are 162-124 in interleague games, 117-66 since the start of the 2003 season. Notes: Morales hasn't pitched in a major league game since Aug. 23. He was shut down then because of shoulder pain. Then a back injury caused him to start the season on the disabled list. Now he enters the rotation after making five starts in the minor leagues. Morales could be limited today. The longest he went in the minors was five innings and 77 pitches on May 23. Morales is 1-0, 0.96 against Philadelphia in his career, all at Citizens Bank Park. But that encompasses only 9.1 innings and seven of those were from 2007-09. ... Pettibone is a 22-year-old rookie making his eighth start. Tonight marks the sixth time this year that Boston has faced a rookie starter. The previous five have combined for an 11.65 ERA (22 ER/17.0 IP), allowing 38 hits. None of the five lasted longer than five innings and two failed to pitch out of the third inning. But the Sox were only 3-2 in those games. ... Ortiz is making his first start in the field since last June. He played seven games at first base last season. Since the start of 2005, David Ortiz has 19 homers in 169 at-bats while playing first base. ... Ellsbury's last nine games: 13 of 36 (.361) with five walks and six RBIs.

Red Sox recall Bradley, option Wilson to Pawtucket Posted by Peter Abraham, Globe Staff May 29, 2013 02:54 PM PHILADELPHIA — The Red Sox this afternoon recalled outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. from Triple A Pawtucket and optioned righthanded reliever Alex Wilson to Pawtucket. The Sox had been carrying an extra reliever this week and needed to balance their roster for the two interleague road games. Bradley started the season with the Red Sox and was instrumental in helping them take two of three from the Yankees to start the season. But he was 3 for 31 over 12 games and was hitless in 20 consecutive at-bats before being optioned back to the minors. Bradley hit .354 with a 1.001 OPS in 20 games for Pawtucket and had a 12-game hit streak at the time of his promotion. Bradley was 21 of 48 (.438) in his streak with nine extra-base hits, seven RBIs, and 11 runs. Wilson pitched well over 16 appearances — 18 IP, 19 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 9 BB, 15 K — but was a victim of roster management. Wilson has options remaining, something Clayton Mortensen does not. Once Franklin Morales returned from the disabled list Tuesday, Wilson was sure to be squeezed out. The Sox were keeping an extra pitcher because of concerns about inclement weather last weekend and Clay Buchholz missing a start. The extra reliever, as it turned out, was not needed.

....and the Academy Award for Best Actor goes to...... :lol::lol: Flopping at it's worst!

That's certain poster's way. Not mine. I was flat out wrong!

My apologies to jung who brought this up earlier in the season and I dismissed it. I'm with you Bellhorn, scary scary stuff.

Probably not a lot of posters. More like 2 or 3.
