Velazquez is the new toast.
-
6 hits today from Nunez, Pearce and Bradley. The stats are exploding in the right direction. Vaz is reverting, however. Encouraging to take 3 of 4 with JDM out of commission.
-
If they ever have a foul ball hitting contest at the A=S game, I'm entering Benintendi. He can foul with the best of them, but can't challenge the king---Brett Gardner
-
This series can't be rated as pretty, but if they can get 3 road wins out of 4 it helps following the Rays and Yankees. Men on 2nd/3rd with no outs and Bogey/Devers/Pearce can't score them makes you wonder.
-
Sox are whacking the ball now. Elvis is not a good pitcher so let's not trade Chavis for him.
-
Nobody is commenting on Thornburg's trip to the IL ? Listed as hip impingement but I'm guesssing he may be missing in non-action for awhile for general ineffectiveness, maybe a continuation from the Thoracic Outlet surgery, that Notin notes affected Clayton Richard.
-
Weber's soft offerings gets something done that many of our fireballers cannot do---keep the ball inside the yard. Very effective 6 innings and with a 3-1 lead, ready for 9 outs from the BP. Sounds familiar ? Same situation as last night. Let's see who can do it today
-
Good to see Steve Pearce maybe waking up his bat. A credible PH'er on occasion can help, especially when we go back to interleague play.
-
Pearce gets f***ed by a fat guy running on his nonchalance . Tellez is the new Red Sox killer.
-
Clayton Richard may be the worst pitcher I have ever seen with no idea where the ball is going or how to deliver it. I can understand why no Sox hitter wants to stand in and unload on this guy. Consequently the Clayton gets through 4 innings with only 1 run allowed.
-
Weber doing a nice job so far, although his stuff looks eminently hittable. Does have a lot of movement , not velocity though.
-
Yes, he was the whole second inning after the lead off double. pretty obvious what the coming pitch was.
-
Here's an unsolicited tip for Weber. Based on the Cf camera angle, you tip every pitch to a guy on second base, with your open glove and hand showing the grip on the ball, especially a split or change. That one is free, the next one will cost.
-
Can't even really feel all that good about beating Toronto after the BP burnout. Glad to have the win but feel like, if that's what it takes to beat a bad team why be too concerned about the next 110 games. They aren't going anywhere. The hopes of turnaround since the April debacle are slow to materialize.

hI don't know
-
Hah, Hembree gets a second take. Either win it or give up 2 HR's and go back to the hotel.
-
Ok, I guess I can excited about Chavis and his future here. Now who gets to close this out. Does anyone in that pen have any guts ? Someone else said it in last night's thread: The land of solo HR's.
-
Moon, you are a pretty bright guy and have seen a lot of baseball,like many of us. This team, however, is very hard to get enthused about because it is an 8 cylinder running on ethanol with 4 fuel injectors missing. Just nothing to get excited about
-
Heath's in trouble now. 2 out, no one on and he looks sharp, with lots of movement. Please win this now. I told him. They can all go f*** themselves now.
-
Whose autograph did Leon get on his neck, just under/behind the ear ?
-
What was nice about Mookie's HR was that the guy you needed to do it, DID IT !
-
I can, I did , last time in 1986 in a league in TX that allowed a couple former MiLB players on a roster. Won the state championship in the Pepsi Games in San Antonio. Last time to warm a guy up was a pitcher from Univ of Michigan, not wearing any mask. He fliped the glove for a curveball, threw a 90mph FB past my head, and I walked away, never played with the idiot again.
-
Nice blast by Mookie. Good timing and much appreciated. Looks like Hembree will be up for the save.
-
Nunez says he can catch
-
IMO, #6 or 7 in the lineup. Plays LF in Fenway due to his short arm throwing. Modest power , especially second half 2018. Can run well, if he gets on. He is cheap salary wise for a couple more years. Don't think he is a "special ' player. May improve as time goes , but what is he waiting for.
