    It'd be one thing if Wright had a secondary pitch to lean on to gut through a few hitters when his knuckler disappears, but Wright doesn't have one. The second he loses the touch on his knuckler, it becomes batting practice. The problem is that it just goes so suddenly. If he could wing it through a few batters to let the bullpen warmup, it wouldn't be as much of an issue. I was worried that Wright's ERA would trend back to 4+ with the summer heat and natural regression. My only hope is that he provides enough to stick in the rotation for the rest of the year. If he craters out, the season is over for the Sox.

    Most fielding stats are garbage. UZR is especially putrid.

    No, hit Pedroia first and Ortiz second so that you get the DP out of the way.

    He left Ross in to face Salty because he didn't want Salty hitting LH against Kelly. I think he left Wright and Ross in a batter too long, but I don't think it was an egregious error on his part. I think the ump was far more detrimental to the Sox than Farrell was. With Wright, it's going to be really hard to manage as he just loses it so quickly. His lack of secondary pitches leave me dubious about his long term success.

    Holy s*** this ump

    Defensive master Salty launches a throw to the warning track.

    Wright loses the feel quicker than anything.

    Wright is losing it. Get pen warming.

    I agree.

    No, not every, but the majority. I realize that it's extremely hard for catchers to play every day. Knowing that there are additional off days in the playoffs, a catcher could probably go 4 out of 5 games without much trouble.

    Pablo will only be 30 next year. Wow. That's 30 years of hard living though.

    No rain in sight today. Will be nice and warm today. I hope Wright can keep the sweat at bay.

    Bryce is a known commodity right now. Benintendi is not. He is just as likely to bomb as Brentz is today.

    Therein lies the problem. Middlebrooks was beyond damaged goods by the time the 2013 Postseason began. The weak links in that lineup were Salty's glove, Drew's bat and WMB's everything. In the Postseason, I would err on the side of defense and replace WMB and Salty with the backup options.

    A guess anyone with an axe to grind could think that.

    Didn't say you were.

    At least Salty won the Montero debate for us.

    Not to me. Tito is a great manager.
