6 innings on 68 pitches. Too good to be true on an every 5 day basis given his history but maybe a complete game would give the BP a needed day off, especially Kimbrel. But 3-0 isn't a guarantee with 9 outs to go in Fenway
Berrios is getting away with a lot but with pitches at 64 through 3 innings, he could be done after 5 setting up the bullpen barrage on the Twins Maybe two innings of grinding AB's and a couple more runs
For all the discussion, did swihart simply need the necessary reps to get his timing and Fenway swing put together. Glad they stuck with him. A guy who can catch and play the IF, possibly OF in an emergency will be on the 25 man playoff roster
Who held Benintendi at third on Polanco's error ? That ball bounced well out into the grass and Beni was already running because of the force out possibility.
At 73-33, the Sox are still the only team with 70+ wins. In the NL , no one has more than 60. For all that, the Sox are still 8 short of a guaranteed .500 season. But it's still July, so it's early (Joke)
probably doesn't work with Sandy Leon being your only catcher for the next 10 days. Back to the Holt/Nunez tandem in the infield with Lin returning I'm guessing.
You might be very correct. His concentration and catching are weakening. Like your esteemed answer at 2nd, Mr. Nunez, there was little anticipation as to how many games these backups would play. The good news is that they contribute to the wins .
