Over/under run score score tonight 1.5 Well since they've scored 1.6 runs per game since the all star break I'll go with the over I guess? lol what a joke not specifically hating, but,

Xander Bogaerts BA on 7/26/14: .237 Xander Bogaerts BA on 7/26/15: .317 Hopefully he can keep the contact rate and start to drive the ball with power but ultimately know that isn't a certainty as the Fangraphs piece showed.

De Aza 1 for his last 15. Dude, your blowing your chance at postseason play. You keep doing this every day and I can't tell if you're serious. Three games isn't going to change De Aza's value.

This season has been a nice step forward for him, but I kind of feel like he'd better get the power and walk rates up because I doubt he can keep up that average with the way he's been hitting the ball so far...

Ortiz now has the best OPS on the team.
Mookie is ice cold again. Getting under it way too much.
Eduardo looked great. Once his HR/FB stabilizes he's gonna put up great numbers. His change up for plus grades, but he's not comfortable throwing it to major league talent. That will help him induce more GB once it's ready.
Swihart makes a lot of hard contact but doesn't have much loft at all from the left side. Definitely easy to see him being a plus hitter for average with a good number of doubles from that side still.
Sandoval needs to start being more selective until pitchers get more honest with him. He's been getting absolutely nothing in the zone lately. His single today was on a pitch that could have hit most lefties. At least he got a couple singles and drew a walk today. Maybe a step in the right direction there. Tonight was a sh*tshownthough so I won't give too much credit.
Napoli has been on a bit of a tear lately. Probably too little to late though.

I REALLY wish I could disagree with this, but I don't, especially as his strikeout rate inches up. Still, I think he does look like a good bet, barring injuries, to be an above average regular for the near future. And if the power DOES come . . . .

This was a great win. Streak week begins now!
Seriously, though, that was how this team was supposed to look. And it was nice to see the mediocre #6 starter on the other team for a change.

This team is nothing without big Papi! They really aren't in as much as, as Ortiz goes, so this team seems to go. He's in decline but can still murder RH pitching. I do wish he'd go the other way with those outside pitches and beat the shift but, especially of late, he seems predicated on pulling everything. More's the pity.

Still, I think he does look like a good bet, barring injuries, to be an above average regular for the near future. And if the power DOES come . . . . Agreed! He has made GREAT strides this season both offensively and defensively, but he is settling on singles almost every plate appearance. I think his adjustments for pitches on the outside corner or slightly off is admirable. He is 100% better in all ways from last year except one. But that one is very important for his continued success and the Red Sox. He has very good power, but you'd never know it. I wish he would pull the ball, at least, once per game in the air. Xander should be hitting at least 12 to 15 homers, and more in a few years, but with what he is settling for presently, it wouldn't happen. PULL Xander!! I look at his homer total as his biggest fault currently. The rest of his game has been very very good! NOW Mookie.....may be the complete opposite. He needs to hit the other way more when in a slump. Too many ground balls to 3rd and short.
