He has no clue Rico. Totally lost. As are a few others holding a bat this season. The team could carry maybe 2 guys at .200 level, but not 4 or 5 . Recheck these fellows at the end of May to give change a chance.
Due to the money involved, Pedey has no incentive to retire. He can keep earning $10 million a year by trying to rehab the knee. The Sox need to come to him with a deal of some sort that would be worth his retiring. Maybe a well paid job in the organization with a lifetime contract.
When was the last time the high FB out of the zone worked with 2 strikes on the hitter ? Sometime in 2018 I'm sure. Anyway, Nate works out of a jam keeping the lead. Looks like a 5 inning night based on pitch count.
Pearce parlayed a good second half and a great playoff run into a $6+million retirement plan. If you combine him and Pedroia, you get not much; a BA of .191. Now Pedey needs to take the rest of the night
(season ??) off
A really good rotation would pencil the current Porcello in as a #4 or #5 starter, and he would deliver the bullpen saving innings if not the low scoring wins. Very hard guy to figure out. My guess is that he has certain personality disorders that cause his mind to overrule his talent. Ever see him smile ?
Honestly, Erasmo cannot be allowed to take a shower before getting on the Greyhound from NYC to Pawtucket or better yet DFA land to open another roster slot.
Maybe they ought to do a "16" in honor of A. Lincoln, and then something for the Dominicans who out number the American blacks who don't play much baseball anymore.
Leon's first throw is a beaut, not to mention Nunez's alligator arm effort to catch it. So Judge steals second and winds up on third. Look out he doesn't steal home on Sale.
I had the thought all off season that the WS win bought all of the FO/Cora a pass for 2019 . The thought was they could use that to reshape the next couple years. Haven't seen any progress in that direction, only a group that is underperforming beyond imagination.
Bogey's hit just couldn't quite clear the wall. Fraziers just clears the wall. A 3 run difference but it doesn't look like Sale can limit the damage now. 2 innings with 2 out blowups
Since Sale is now suddenly cured of his ills, maybe it's time to try and figure out why so few guys (Ex Martinez, Bogaerts, Moreland) have been able to hit a ball very effectively
