That was an odd one especially with the potential tying run at third. Even Devers might get lucky and drop one , although predictably that did not happen. Cora's thinking must have been that he could Swihart to 2nd easily and IF Devers got a hit he would get the lead, But like a lot of other what ifs , this one did not pan out.
-
Not 100% positive but I think the difference is that Castillo, not on the 40 man roster, could be signed by another team , probably for no compensation, if they will pick up his contract balance. Sandoval and Ramirez balance dues count towards luxury tax because they were protected by the 40 man inclusion and are owed their contract sums. Baseball needs NFL type contracts where a cut player only gets the current year of a non guaranteed portion of the contract.
-
Ok, called it. When Cora needs help motivating them call 702 555-1212
-
The hitters are getting hard to watch. Time for a breakout inning by Boston, not Toronto who just tied it up.
-
Credit Price for being tough after taking that shot to the chest and getting himself out of trouble . However , at 49 pitches through 2 , he will have trouble getting through 5 with or without a bad bruise. Starters just not getting any depth for Boston leaving the bullpen vulnerable. We'll see what happens
-
The lineup shuffle continues. The Oh for season Pedroia gets off his feet and Betts is clearly deeply wounded. It will be interesting to see how they respond today against an inferior pitcher after yesterday's overmatch. Time to get back on the winning side
-
You just did and this particular game truly sucked
-
A real phone it in, dog ate my homework effort. But keep winning series no matter how and they will keep the East title.
-
It is a regrettable but true mathematical possibility that Pedroia goes 0 for the season with 367 flyballs to right field. Not likely but trending that way.
-
The comment after Porcello's POS start this week was that every once in a while the team and/or pitcher throws a clunker. Well, here's 2 in a week . Constant lineup shuffling due to injury, rest or DFA's. They should all get participation trophies today, especially if they rally to win it.
-
Good thing JBJr is in for his defense.
-
Devers (and many others) look overmatched today. Sale counts on getting no support , so no news to him. O'Brien calls Flowers HR only Sales's 3rd HR given up at Fenway. Well Dave, it i still May so plenty of chances for more. At some point the Sox may need to get Devers some help in terms of a 30-45 days at Pawtucket working on basics of hitting and fielding. Looks like a sophomore slump which I think Bogaerts had a couple years ago too.
-
No Betts, No JDM, Sale unfocused giving up a 3 run bomb in the second are not the ingredients for a sweep. One guy in the lineup hitting ZERO and 2 guys below .200. The only thing getting swept will be the concourses after this game
-
Note that this was the first game the Red Sox counted more than 6 runs in about a month, except for the one 10 run beatdown of the Yankees
-
I trust we had to use HR Kimbrel because Carson Smith was unavailable. The HR's are a bit of a concern as he has been letting opponents launch. Joe Kelly may have found a groove if he can replicate 10 pitches for 3 outs, avoiding the 2 out walk. Benentendi denied a shot at the cycle since Kimbrel didn't blow the save. Very selfish, Craig. Nice welcome back to Pedey from the Fenway faithful. Steven Wright working his way into the mix. Pomeranz is a mystery but I'm getting visions of Clay Buchholz and Daniel Bard issues. Keep winning 2 of 3 every series and the standings will take care of themselves.
-
Pedroia continues his Oh for the season streak. How long can we carry this guy ? (not serious) The Sox just got a lot better with yesterday's moves. More Moreland at first, give Devers a chance to find himself again rotating Nunez/Holt and him at 3rd base, That's a better defensive infield for sure.
-
Nice try Drew. Your participation trophy will be forwarded to your new address, probably the DL. Velasquez will be in to mop up and should become the new 5th starter taking Pomeranz's place. I know he sucked early last year and got hot with the weather but how much patience can they have with the assortment of junk he throws ?
-
Amazing things happen when your sub .200 hitters can contribute. Bradley's triple last night, and Swihart/Vazquez singles with MoB and 2 outs. Moving Hanley opened things up.
-
duh !!
-
Pomeranz is totally unlikeable. Black clouds hang around this guy. Usually with two outs and two strikes on a hitter
-
You must be the DA to not recognize obtuse humor, JO.
-
Pedey obviously not much of a hitter. Must be in for defensive purposes. Why does Pomeranz look like he just sucked a lemon and slumps his way off the field. This guy has head issues. Sean Newcomb looks like a young Jon Lester, but he must go down today.
-
Aside from just tonight's gaffe at 1st base , Devers has the athleticism of a sea lion on the beach. His lack of baseball instinct and discipline is probably typical for a 21 year old. Although he can slash it around, maybe another few months in Pawtucket could help get him focused. Lots of raw talent, not much experience and it shows at this level..
-
Nothing like Devers and Benentendi's strike zones to help Teheran. Somewhat of a team wide slump moving in. Pedroia will need to jump start them but that may be asking too much while he gets up to game speed. Team looks unfocused the last night and today. Lots of games with no breaks in the schedule
-
Maybe time to focus on Ed Rodriguez throwing strikes and getting out of the first 6 innings untouched. Not asking much.
