I can't believe we are starting Sandy Leon in back to back games at this stage against a Lefty or not. He has 27 hits the whole year. Hopefully that will change starting tomorrow.

Chatham, Dalbec, Ockimey are in the lineup in Pawtucket. Centeno & Chavis are not.
Pawsox activated catcher Romanski off I.L.
I conclude that Centeno & Chavis are in L.A., not R.I. To be activated, added to roster, on Sunday.

So Taylor has walked 5 batters in the last 1 2/3 innings.

I'd really feel better if our bats get active and we can bury this team early - the pen is likely to be taxes and exposed. Gotta score lots of runs to take the pressure off.

Walden has had such a good year. Whatever people say about DD, he has found a few guys like Walden and Brasier who gave given good innings.

What a maddening pen. Walks everywhere.

Tough one. Mookie likely catches that in the air

We are in the nearly empty echo chamber again tonight, it seems. Good game - our offense got that right back and then some. Bats gotta keep hitting. OUr pen needs to find the plate. IMPORTANT game.

Yes, it seems that way. Good start for us. Need to keep putting up runs though. It’s a long game with our depleted bullpen

Is un-giving up on a season allowed? I was pretty down on this year, but I believe!

Oh, for a shut down inning. Johnson seems like a good guy, he's put up with a lot to be here - but he just seems to have nothing that major league hitters are trouble by. Time to cut him loose, I think.

I said it last week and here we are again.. Brian Johnson isn’t a Major league caliber pitcher at the moment

Cora does realize that this is a critical game, right? Leon catching? Johnson? (yes, I know, the pen is toasted)

I'm sure there are others, but the only two Red Sox P's I can think of off the top of my feeble little head whose stuff sucked as badly as BJ's were Vaughn Eshelman and Jason Johnson. A team with their resources should not have to pitch someone this sucky in a race. Cora deserves a note in his personnel file for putting him in a game. Please report to Human Resources, Mr. Cora.

imperative to win tonight with tampa and oakland losing. and the best option we have here is 'bullpen game'?

If Cora ever uses Owings again to play second when Holt is healthy - no matter if it is a lefty or righty - shame on him. Holt, or Marco - but NOT Owings, ever again.
