    Haven't seen any real update on the depth of Holt's contusion, but as others said, probably a week or so assuming no structural damage or laceration. Nunez has played extensively all year mostly at full speed for him and that rundown was another shot at his legs, but he did get the out. Swihart is limited to the bench as Leon's Backup. Lin is a backup's backup. Among Pearce, Bradley, Martinez and Moreland , one has to be sitting in a given game, and it won't likely be JDM. This is a "short" bench with 2 of the guys being AAAA'ers. My point is that DD and Cora need to take a hard look at the 13 pitchers, including the PawSox fill-ins and get down to 12 and put another functional player on the bench. Brandon Phillips will likely get this chance soon. Nunez and Holt should have been the ones to provide veteran utility presence playing 2 or 3 times a week but have become full time infielders due to Pedroia's lingering problems. Still the team is set for it's 70th win, with no other team beyond 65.

    That is an incredible number before 100 games are played. For all the consternation these guys bring , the record so far is amazing. I know about the 14+ game lead in 1978, watched that ball disapear into the net after crushing BF Dent's foot, but a 5.5 game lead right now feels pretty good. Every game won is one less that anyone can catch you with.

    We got the win, Mets got the one run, so here it goes, bottom of the 9th
  4. vegasbob
    Much agreed, that was a slow boat down the Great Lakes
  5. vegasbob
    A 1-0 win that takes over 3:30 to complete
  6. vegasbob
    Because Kimbrel does not pitch to much contact, his pitch counts are often high which may limit him from pitching in the subsequent game
  7. vegasbob
    Mets have man at 3rd with one out. They'll need more
  8. vegasbob
    Nice shift with your FB pitcher throwing hard
  9. vegasbob
    Hope the Mets have some semblance of a closer since they are in the 9th up 6-5.
  10. vegasbob
    Now 6-5 with 2 outs and man on 3rd. Yankees are relentless. Red Sox are odd
  11. vegasbob
    Now 6-4 , 2nd/3rd. No Met pitcher can get another out
  12. vegasbob
    I have noticed your brilliance on the game threads. Please keep it up, lol
  13. vegasbob
    Yankees showing 1st/3rd with one out. Mets trying hard to give it up.
  14. vegasbob
    One of the few times I'll say that OB and Remy are not watching the same game I am seeing.
  15. vegasbob
    Kimbrel time, thanks. He'll probably be wild for a couple batters. If they get this one as a shutout, all belief is suspended
  16. vegasbob
    If you can throw (command ) a 98 mph fastball, why do you throw 70% uncontrollable curves?
  17. vegasbob
    Matt is a mess with another 20+ pitch inning in so-called setup relief. Got to be killing Cora not to call on the well rested Kimbrel for 4 outs.
  18. vegasbob
    Barnes curveball is uncatchable, but that is not a good thing
  19. vegasbob
    Barnes is nothing more than a bad luck charm, and sandy has his issues too
  20. vegasbob
    WTF, 2 strikeouts and nobody out, runners on 2nd/3rd.
  21. vegasbob
    Sure enough 6-3, at NYC with man on second and only 1 out. F'ing Mets are useless.
  22. vegasbob
    Mookie, Bogey, Beni having trouble with the center cut FB's
  23. vegasbob
    Yankees trying their best to lose, so are the Sox despite holding a 1-0 lead. Not much good baseball being shown here
  24. vegasbob
    TZU-Wei, my man, nice hit but you are not the answer. Please score, however
  25. vegasbob
    At least Nunez got it in the air, but 2 outs too late. With Price on the mound the Sox are flirting with a big mistake.
