Man we are gonna score a billion runs in this series. Given tonight's game we are really going to have to hustle to make it to a billion.

Buxton looking as if he's getting ready to slug his way into the lineup so... he bunts. I know the guy has serious speed but that seemed like a bit of a waste.

For the record, I had no problem with taking Rodriguez out. He's still building up his innings this year, the next two hitters had big platoon splits, and Hembree is really good versus righties.

So this Martinez guy is pretty good.

I agree to disagree. Eduardo has gotten to the point where he can easily go over 100 pitches now. He's having his best game of the year, you got to at least give him the chance to get one more batter.

So this Martinez guy is pretty good. He's got wheels out there. Maybe the Sox don't need Moncada in October to be a designated pinch runner after all...

My problem is if you have a ceiling of, say, 100 pitches, and your starter is at around 85 going into the inning, take him out -- don't put him out there hoping he has a quick inning, given that the assumption of the pitch count is that he will lose effectiveness by that point (hence making that quick inning less likely). Let a reliever start clean, and if you are trying to build arm strength, have the starter theow 10 more simulated pitches.

You have to pinch hit Aaron Hill for Michael Martinez next inning...

Jays losing. Orioles winning big. The Sox are going to lose first place if they don't win tonight.

I'm not. They'll walk Ortiz to get to Hanley.
