Way too many holes in this lineup in NL parks when the pitcher has to hit. Anemic offense making Leake look like Tom Seaver.

I don’t often post but tonight’s game shows how bad of a manager Farrell is in NL parks.
First issue – Pinch hitting Hanley in the top of the 7th for Porcello with 2 outs and nobody on. Why? Porcello was only at 87 pitches and could easily have completed another inning. The Red Sox have NO bullpen and can use as many innings out of their starters as they can get.
Second issue – Why pitch Kelly to only three batters when it’s a tie game in the 8th inning? The Red Sox have the bottom of their order coming up in the 9th inning. The best chance for the Red Sox to score another run is going to be in the 10th inning. You need to get more than 2 outs from Kelly.

www.weei.com/sports/boston/this-just-in/213548761/sale-helps-push-e-rod-down-right-path-winSale playing the role of the leader. Him and Betts have unquestionably become the face of the franchise- “I mean, I got out of that inning and Porz [Rick Porcello} and Sale come to me, and Sale just tells me, ‘Hey man.’ That was the key to get back in the game. He just tells me, ‘This is where the men go out and show who you are. Just go there and try to limit the damage and fight,’ you know what I mean? I think that helped me a lot to get back in the game.” Porcello needs to follow his own advice. Friggin Clown!

The second inning could have been much worse. But he sucked it up and prevented the inning from being a true disaster. After he got out of that inning, he pitched well and kept us in the game.

The removing Kelly decision is an especially baffling one.

Wow - a rather bizarre game - Sox went from feeling dead in the water to being a base hit away from going ahead...

A game like tomorrow would already be a scheduled loss. Now that we are in the 12th inning its just looking worse.

Wide Strikezone! No wonder why we are in extra innings.
