What's the actual reason for E-Rod throwing so many fastballs? Almost exclusively. Because he is not very good. Both pitchers are getting crushed actually. I think he heard us.

I love it when starters give leads up right away.

I, too, prefer pitchers that only give up runs when they're supposed to. (Hey, maybe John Farrell didn't tell him not to give up runs there? It wouldn't surprise me -- he runs a laissez-faire shop.)

This is the worst game I have ever seen. I forgot there was a game on and checked this thread and saw this post and expected to be down by 10 runs with Mookie Betts hurt or something. Clearly I underrated the power of The Sandy.

Really annoying they're not giving E Rod those corners. They've been giving CC those.

I hate the shift with runners on. I am sure someone could tell me it still makes sense, but that was tailor made.

Mark Teixeira looks Varitek in 2008 levels of awful oldness right now.

some of you guys has seen ERod pitch this year more than I, and the lineup isn't that good, but he seems to be more competitive today. I like that he walked Gardner there.

What do you mean, trade Swihart OR Vazquez? We don't need either of them!

At first, I was just pleasantly surprised by Sandy Leon. Now, I'm finding myself checking how many years of control Leon has. He's controllable until 2019!
