Come on Pedroia. Make it hurt.

They got it right the first time. Those 2 runs are huge too.

Why is Reddick hitting 5th?? That's ridiculous.

You anywhere near Austin? that's where my brother just moved.

Hey VA - You ok?

I'm 5'8. Unless I have the next Tim Collins.

He. Is. 26. You're acting like he isn't able to improve with more consistent playing time.

Yup. This sounds like the situation that I would envision as well. And by the way - is anyone else incredibly impressed with Lavarnway's patience at the plate?? It seems like he'll go down 0-2 and then work it back to even or 3-2 before the AB ends. It's ridiculous. If he's already this patient, he could very well be an OBP beast in the future.

It's truly a shame that players don't peak from 27-30. Oh wait, they do. But at least they don't begin to play better with consistent playing time. Oh wait, they do. You talk all this about his career numbers, but the guy is 26 years old. When Varitek was 26 years old, his line was .257/.311/.410. Hell, by the time Varitek had 1,153 AB (Salty has 1,081), he was hitting .258/.331/.432. Salty's career numbers right now are .248/.313/.404. And Varitek was 28 by the time he had 1,000 AB, Salty is 26. Varitek, from ages 29-33, hit .280/.361/.470, but you're telling me that Salty can't develop his skills any further because he's a 26 year old who has over 1,000 AB in the MLB? That's absolutely ridiculous. You act like, by the time they're 25 years old, players will have career numbers that they will trend toward rather than getting better. That's absurd. Players will develop better pitch recognition, which will lead to higher OBP, higher SLG as they will be able to adjust and react better to offspeed stuff, and a higher average. Just because his plate discipline hasn't developed as quickly as his recognition, that doesn't mean it's a fluke season. Absolutely ridiculous.

f***ing embarrassing right there. If I ever had to see Darnell McDonald or Matt Albers play again, it will be too soon. Reddick is getting damn close to that group too. Ellsbury, Youk, and Ortiz need to get their asses back in the lineup now. This offense is anemic without them, and its not even enjoyable to watch. I'll be happy with 1-3 on this trip at this point.

I think Drew will be back this weekend. What pisses me off is that these ******* Rangers think they're better than us because they have caught us twice when we're playing like dogshit.

The worst part is that our offense is so f***ing pathetic right now. It's so damn frustrating watching this s***** ass lineup try to win games.

That's it for the Sox tonight. Can hardly muster a hit, much less 4 runs. f***ing s***.

Well that f***ing blows.

Albers again. Are you freaking kidding me?!? When will Francona learn??

By the way, it's absolutely ridiculous that there is no replay for out/safe and catch/trap calls in baseball. Absolutely ridiculous.

Well obviously, but it would hurt a hell of a lot worse when you lose because of a blown call. Never know what can happen in extras.

this isn't even enjoyable, watching this team without Youk, Ells, or Ortiz. It's pathetic. Nobody can hit anything, and Bedard is throwing a gem. It should be 0-0 except some dumbass umpire can't see s***.

If we lose this game because of a blown call, that's ridiculous.

We needed that ball to get past Hamilton. Or for D-Mac to go yard.

Bedard needed that quick inning. 80 pitches through 5 IP is right at where he needs to be. 15-16 pitches per inning will get him through 6-7 IP. He's on track for 112 pitches for 7 IP.

Absolutely zero offense. Man we need Ells Ortiz and Youk. Bad.
