Two IF singles. Only need about 10 more like that to be back to average.

This is a weird pinch-hitting decision.

This is a weird pinch-hitting decision. Yeah, borderline absurd. As if he didn't know that Matusz wasn't coming in.

Well that was completely dumb and predictable. Soooo unnecessary.

Yay Farrell. Your tactics in Toronto sure worked out a lot better than last year in Boston, so why not force some unnecessary BS?

Even Bogaerts was visibly upset with that call.

Why was it so imperative to have the runners going there? I don't get it. Such over-managing.

Hope we don't see Xander on the DL in a couple days for concussion-like symptoms after getting kneed in the head.

Farrell has been brutal with some of his decisions the last couple of days. This team as presently constituted has a slim margin of error and Farrell is exceeding that by a wide margin lately.

Because other than that it's inexcusable. No, the runners were definitely supposed to go. They tried a hit-and-run earlier in the at-bat, and the runners were off on the previous two pitches (a pick-off attempt and a foul ball).

I mean really, what the hell all the way around. You want to bunt you have Ross do it. You want to hit and run late down two runs you, uh, don't.

Also: why is Bogaerts not getting any heat for just stopping in his tracks? I mean, he probably would have been out at third, but you still have to force them to make the throw and the tag. Instead, he just gave up.

Does any of the stat sites show pitchFX splits? Trying to find contact% for Herrera hitting RH.

Damn, that was two feet short. Here we go Papi Napoli.

Someone explain why Sizemore isn't PR here with Papi as the winning run at 1B.

How on earth is that a strike?

Yeah, leave Papi at 2nd. wow

Tough luck. However, this team is starting to gel.

Yeah, leave Papi at 2nd. wow There's two outs now, so Ortiz will be off on contact. The difference between Ortiz and Sizemore isn't enough to make it worth potentially burning your best hitter. Plus, giving Sizemore an actual day off is worth something; if he was available today, he would have pinch-hit for Ross instead of Herrera.
