This is the spot where the Red Sox need to build some momentum. Middle of the order, Buchholz cruising at 1 run through the 4th with 50 pitches. Put two runs on the board, and things change quickly.
Hot chick mojo is notoriously awful. We gave it a shot again last night and it failed us again. The only woman guaranteed to grant mojo is Taylor Swift.
On another note.... It took a one-hit bid to beat the Red Sox. Think about that. Sanchez and that bullpen had to be practically perfect in order to beat the Red Sox. Ain't going to happen again this series.
The one-pitch AB from Middlebrooks in the 5th was back-breaking. Bogaertz has really showed his plate discipline over the last few games, and I think he may be a better fit for atleast a game or two.
The reality was... if the Red Sox were to win the World Series, they would need Buchholz to be a stopper. Tomorrow is going to be a pretty crazy pitching matchup.
