Can we please at least try giving Swihart some at bats when we have a black hole at catcher? They just keep botching the handling of this guy.

If Swihart was bad enough to have them give up on him in 2016 after a week as the starting catcher, how is Leon not demonstrated already this season that he’s bad enough to lose the job as the backup?

Bogaerts would be playing tonight if it wasn't artificial turf.

Any help with why the 2nd and 3rd runs were earned

Any help with why the 2nd and 3rd runs were earned There was no error, therefore the runs are earned. That's how it works.

Porcello's change up and slider has been money tonight.

I expected JDM to continue hitting lefties like he's Barry Bonds or Ted Williams, but he's not so far this year. He's only slugging .429 before tonight's 0-2. Last year he slugged .892 vs. LHP.

The Sox have officially forgot how to score.

A good example is the play you're talking about.

Neither strike 1 nor strike 3 to Leon were strikes.

rick is pitching out of his mind, just beautiful painting and change of speed. It's a shame he loses this one!

Can’t wait to see Brooks on this game. Corners and k-zone seems to be moving around on game day.

Neither strike 1 nor strike 3 to Leon were strikes. He called a Ball 4 to Pierce at the same spot he called strike 3;

One of the best Mookie Betts catches of all time.

The Sox have now scored ONE run in the last 23 innings. Meanwhile the Blue Jays have been the beneficiaries of Maple Leaf Luck. That, my friends, is not just basey-ball. Its a base-ockey cluster-fook!
edit: actually, its 26 innings!

Pedroia would have thrown Granderson out at first on that double. Nunez is getting close to being worthless because of how bad his defense is. How badly do we need a backup 3B once Pedroia comes back?

If Sandy Leon is on the roster when Pedroia is back, I’m writing an angry letter to DD.
