Our bullpen may be in pretty good shape after all. The addition of Workman, plus hopefully Kelly is back soon, Fister, Velazquez etc...maybe even Smith?
The Red Sox wouldn't have a $200 million payroll if the fans weren't filling Fenway at those high prices. Most MLB teams have a high correlation between revenue and payroll. If you haven't got it you can't spend it.
When you've got players making 30 million a year, the math says going to the games has to be pricy. John Henry isn't paying the players out of his own pocket. He's overseeing the transfer of the money from the fans.
Man that 11th inning...Mookie ties the game and yet I felt sick after seeing Marrero foul off 3 bunt attempts including one with 2 strikes and Xander pinch run and get thrown out while trying to slide into third with his injured right hand. Bizarre. Thank God we won.
