It's disgusting Betts is half of the team's offense once again.

It's obviously irrational to want to have Mookie get more PAs than Xander About 5 per season? Maybe Papi should have batted leadoff too.

Haha, Statcast has Marrero's ground ball at 136 mph.

It's obviously irrational to want to have Mookie get more PAs than Xander It's not irrational but the difference over a season is likely around 30 plate appearances. I guess JF thinks the 10 hits Mookie would get over a season (with the bases often empty) offset the opportunity to drive in runs with Xander on base. Seems like bad lineup construction to me.

Xander got a hanging ball down the middle and slap it weakly to 3B.

Xander got a hanging ball down the middle and slap it weakly to 3B. And he has a wRC+ of 129 this season as a shortstop.

There have been at least 6 pitches that show as a strike called a ball for Erod

ERod has mental toughness - and he's only going to get better. Liking very much this start (despite the one rough inning).

Another Great Start from Erod. This stat and the last two starts would have looked alot better on the stat sheet if it wasnt for poor D.

JBJ is so predictable. Once he starts going the other way, the slump is over.

JBJ is so predictable. Once he starts going the other way, the slump is over. Was just thinking that - the question is why he forgets to do so for such long stretches. Tonight certainly bodes well.

We should have just left the pitcher in to bat.

Wow. Its moments like right now when I realize how bad the RP situation is. Who the hell is going out there for the 7th?

As an FYI - no joy in Pawtucket for big Henry O - 4.2 IP, 7 BB, 5 ER. Ouch...big control problems persist.
But - Sam Travis hit his 3rd HR and is over .250

No matter how bad the bullpen is, don't freaking pitch a LOOGY to someone batting RH iwith a 1 run lead.

I just don't want to see Hembree in a high leverage inning right now. That ball was smoked but Pedrioa made a nice play. Give me Joe Kelly over Hembree right now. Can't believe I'm saying that.

Hembree pitches well against RHH although he struggles against LHH.
