Drop Kelly down in the depth chart and replace his situations with Workman. Or maybe something is amiss physically...
Ahem...Alex Cora - why is he still pitching? they got lucky with that hard hit liner to Mookie.

Kelly owes Beni a meal at the restaurant of his choice. A pricey one.

Kelly has a angel watching over him. What a lucky SOB.

Kelly barely survived that inning.

Can we get 4 more runs here so we can save Kimbrel for tomorrow. Going to need him with their whole pen rested.

Holy sh*t what a catch by Benny, great concentration.

I don’t recall a better catch by Benintendi. I’m including the one where he went over the wall against Tampa.

I just don't agree with putting in Kelly today after he threw around 25 pitches in the previous game. I'd save him for the Yankees series. Granted, with his recent struggles it's probably more to peg recalcitrant Yankees players than to hold games, but still.

Every ball but one was hit hard off of Kelly. Cora needs a new fireman for the bullpen.

I think Dave O'Brien just said the sox have never had a season sweep of a west coast team. Is that possible? Did I mishear him? Preposterous. No. Remember the west coast trip back in 2004? Our boys cracked skulls. he said it again.

Our boys cracked skulls. I don't know man. I just checked and they didn't have any season sweeps of west coast teams that year...

Kimbrel's numbers are really really good this year. It's hard to complain about a guy that opponents are hitting .145 off of.

I'm not the most excited about Kimbrel coming in here either, but if we win this game I guess it gives us a little more wiggleroom in the Yankees series. I guess these sort of things happen where you play some games to lose and still end up having a chance to win.

AL West only Division in MLB with 4 teams over .500 - AL Central with one, East with two. The rest are wannabe septic tank specialists.

Either way, I feel a lot better about what happens this weekend. As long as we don't get swept, everything will be Gucci.

Great win. I'm glad the super-questionable bullpen management didn't bite us today. I suspect it may tomorrow.

Just gotta love this game...
Quality pitching from Johnson/Velazquez/Workman, and a blow away Kimbrel save
Remarkable outfield defense (Joe Kelly says "Thank you"!)
Bottom of the order 4 for 9 with two bombs
JBJ matching his glove with his bat
Bring on the MFY!
Gotta love this season - 55 wins with a +125 run differential
