So does this mean Bradley is back with the team after E-Rod's start? A reliever more likely. I read it's Ross, but then what is the move to get E-Rod on the 25 man?

Geez, I go off the grid for three days and everything falls apart. And who the heck is Carlos Peguero and why not bring up Brentz instead?
Sheesh...

No one really has much room to complain about the hitting unless they had concerns entering the season. Pretty much everyone picked them to have the best offense in baseball. Cool opinion, probably very few ppl share it. If i go into a season expecting the Sox offense to be good and they stink then yah gahhd damn right I'm gonna complain about it. Stop telling ppl what they can and can't complain about boss.

From 108 stitches today:
Boston, surprisingly, leads the AL East by a healthy margin in quality starts (23 – no other team in the division has more than 20).

It seems like when the starters have a bad start, it's a really bad one. Like not getting out of the second or third inning bad. And since the offense has been so mediocre, a quality start is often not enough to win.

I'd much rather give up 9 runs one game and 1 run the next than 5 runs in each.

I criticize the Red Sox for things that I knew were wrong before it happened and for waiting too long to correct things. But as of right now, there's not anything they can do about the hitting except to wait for it to be as good as it should be.

@ryanhannable: Farrell on @daleholleyweei said Carlos Peguero could be in the lineup tonight, depends if Rusney Castillo (shoulder) is available or not.

I have no idea what is happening with the 25 man roster. I'm trying to road-map it off the current roster. mlb.mlb.com/team/roster_active.jsp?c_id=bosSo Nava is DL'ed and Ross is called up. Peguero is on the team with no other move announced, I'm assuming it's Bianchi, And E-Rod has to be added so someone else has to go, which I guessed before was Hembree but no confirmation.

I think E-Rod is a wildly different pitcher from A-Alv. But Rodriguez is a lefty who is making his major league debut, and Abe Alvarez is also a lefty who once made his major league debut. Also, the last two letters in their surnames are "e z." Also, both begin their first names with a vowel. You can't deny the connection. All I meant was,that I hope the,spot start doesn't go poorly. Did i,say anything about them being the same or similar pitchers? No. I did not. Jesus.

Its not even June but we're already dumpster diving. I'm actually convinced now not re signing lester or trading for Hamels was the right move. Its extending Porcello, Ramirez and Sandoval that may be shakier. I'll add I supported all three of those moves at the time.

It's gotta be Hembree or Barnes, right? Another position player (besides Bianchi) would be too much with Sandoval and Ortiz not 100%, and I don't see Farrell being willing to part with Layne. I guess very theoretically it could be Wright but that would be contrary to everything the Sox have been feeding to the press.

No one really has much room to complain about the hitting unless they had concerns entering the season. Pretty much everyone picked them to have the best offense in baseball. You can't only judge results and you also can't only hold Red Sox management to a standard that no one else in baseball could match. Add to that there are pretty much never significant trades before June/July so there is no room for complaining that they haven't traded for Mike Trout and Bryce Harper. I concede the pitching complaints, though I still think they're not too bad overall and they should have had the hitting to mask that. Why can't anybody critique or complain about the offense? Just because a lot of us thought it would be good? That's not a good reason. It is a good reason not to be too harsh on Cherington, though, but that doesn't mean that's a good reason not be harsh on the players themselves. Or are they above reproach? The team OBP is pretty low and when they do have runners on, they don't cash them in. You can say darn BABIP luck, but there are other possibilities too. They might be making very weak contact. Or perhaps they don't have many baserunner advancing outs, a concept I think either you or Nomar mocked yesterday. Unless a guy is bunting or trying to get a ball up in the air for a sac fly, nobody tries to hit ground outs to advance baserunners as their primary intent of offense, but hardly ever advancing baserunners via groundouts or flyouts might be a way a team can score a lesser percentage of runs given their baserunners, not to mention hitting like crap in key situations or lackluster baserunning. Either way, their ABs aren't very reassuring. Their middle of the order should be better but it's not. Ramirez being hurt is not helping the cause, and it's very possible, given the way Ortiz seems to be struggling to catch up with a good fastball (which also probably contributes to his late inning difficulties when the hard throwing bullpen guys are in), and Napoli has struggled most of the season, and Sandoval isn't exactly hitting the ball the way you'd want a $19 million/year player to hit, and your middle of the order isn't as good as advertised. I don't see why this can't be critiqued.

“@daleearnold: John Farrell tells @daleholleyweei that David Ortiz is out of the lineup for at least the next couple of days to work on things in the cage.” Seeking those low hanging grapes which Ortiz mentioned would "come in bunches" after his last HR? Not going to start with the doom and gloom with Ortiz, I do want to say something however. His bat does look slow this year. Don't know if his head has gotten confused with the slow start and needs to clear it out with several days off, which may be what is happening today, or if he really is slowing down. Pitches (fb) not hard ones seem to be giving him fits, in his wheelhouse. I hope it's his "clearing of the mind", or an adjustment he can pull off, which he did 5y back and prolong his career.

“@daleearnold: John Farrell tells @daleholleyweei that David Ortiz is out of the lineup for at least the next couple of days to work on things in the cage.” Guess that leaves us with a 1 man bench of Sandy Leon? Leon is almost as good as Bianchi as the all-around bench guy. He bunts, hits for average ... can play 3rd base. Not only is he the back-up catcher, but he can serve as the emergency catcher, too. Unlike Bianchi, Leon is not a relief pitcher. Not yet.

My guess is: Hembree, Nava, Rodriguez OutRoss, Peguero, Hinojosa In Bold strategy Cotton, optioning the guy you called up to pitch before he actually pitched. Let's see if it pays off for them.

Ortiz isn't what he was. Napoli and Sandoval have seen better days. Ramirez has struggled since he got hurt. Pedroia is Pedroia, thankfully. Betts and Bogaerts and Swihart aren't what they will be. Porcello and Buchholz have been inconsistent and Uehara has been human at times. Tazawa has been quite good. None of them have are having peak years. <b> It'll be interesting to see who gets selected to the All-Star game as the Red Sox really don't have any really obvious candidates. I'll guess Pedroia? If Brock-star Holt is not an all-star, then I don't know what the term "all-star" means.
