You know what would be cool? If the guy hitting in front of Xander tried getting on base from time to time. kinda hard when your leadoff hitter has a 315 OBP

Big double play to get the kid back in the dugout. Try to gather himself a bit.
He's either off the plate or right down the center with most of his stuff right now. Needs to get back on the edges.

Johnson's control is waaaaay off.

Johnson's control is waaaaay off. He has had a lot of days from the last time he pitched.

Since June 25 Johnson has thrown five innings.
I said this with the Tazawa thing maybe three weeks ago, but this is another job of the Red Sox failing with preparation. I can deal with bad player evaluations, I can do with strategic mistakes, but this sort of thing really reflects very badly. Johnson is making his major league debut on like a months rest against the best power hitting team in the AL. The Theo/Francona era is all but forgotten.

John Farrell is the worst manager in the league.
I'm not surprised they mismanage nearly everything.

Oh, weird. Xander comes up with a runner on 2nd, and the Sox score.

Ok, now let's see if Johnson has settled down.

Like watching Johnson pitch, moves fast, mixes pitches, smooth delivery. Ridiculously poorly planned timing for his first start, and I do not blame him for being rusty at the start but that third inning looked pretty good.

Curve is legit.

How's that for settling down?
Still struggling with command, but that curve is filthy.

Johnson settling down.
Pedroua, Ortiz, rameriez and sandavol! Veterans without a hit. Sad!

It's comical how bad MLB umpires are.

Lol.
And lol at Remy saying the throw wasn't bad. He needs to go away.

What an awful way for Johnson to end his first start, kid deserved better than that today.

How the hell do you take him out here? Seriously?

Yeah, we just had a double header last night and we are pitching a guy who is pitching on 15 day rest...
Let's pull him in the 5th cause of his stupid ass catcher.
Good lord, for the love of god get rid of John Farrell. Please. I'll do anything.

Why's Farrell taking him out there?
1) To have a chance to win the ball game. Really? With this bullpen? 2) To let Johnson get out on a confident note. Yeah that worked brilliantly. 3) Cause he has no clue what he's doing. Ding-ding-ding!
