90mph fastballs up in the middle of the zone are gonna get pounded... I bet Porcello nodded on the pitch selection.

Is it me or does DOB just want the games to be over in a hour , so he can go home?

I bet Porcello is the reason pitches gravitated to the middle.

Is this an episode of Life without Mookie or a preview of it?

Did DOB just blow the definition of the millennium ?

The only thing left is watching some games and putting the kibosh on the MFY's getting 108 wins.
That can't happen.

Just tuned in to this game at the point that the Red Sox had walked 4 times, struck out 0 times, and were 0-14 on balls in play.
Yeah that sounds about right.
ADD: And hey a homer... with no men on base. (Also Devers' 30th though - woohoo!)

No mo no no.
Devers becomes the 22nd player in history with 30 HRs, 50 doubles and 100 RBIs (Xander was the 21st).
Devers and Xander are the first teammates in history with 30 HRs and 50 doubles.

Breaking up a no hitter with a HR is a big FU.

Goodness. The entire broadcasting trio rank out the scorer (E6) by name? Then put him on camera? Never seen that before!

If you're an umpire and a ball hit to left field bounces *up*, why would you ever not just call it a homer?

Owings and G. Hernandez starting today. Might help the team's draft position!

I still can’t get over that Machado likely cost Pedroia a spot in the Hall of Fame. He was at about 1,700 hits through 2016, and even if he were in steady decline would be around 2,100 by now. Coupled with an MVP, ROY, GGs, and his place on some legendary teams, he’d be a good case. Far tougher with the abrupt end.
Edit: or, put differently, his 7-year peak bWAR is about the average for HOF 2B, but he is pretty far short of the career average. Instead of adding to his total, he’s been negative the last two seasons.

I feel bad for Bumgarner this inning. BABIP gods have been kind (to the Sox).
4 straight cheap hits. 74, 83, 71, 61 mph EVs.
In fact, there has only been one hard hit ball today. Of the 7 hits, 1 was more than 90 mph, which was Benintendi's double.

if someone on this team could have a great end to his season, Eduardos a good one to do it.

I'm going to Thursday's game. I'm almost disappointed that E-Rod is pitching, just because he's lefty and I REALLY want to see Yaz play! I hope Mike Yastrzemski is in LF for the Giants, but with the lefty going, perhaps Bochy platoons him? I really, really hope not! Well it's a shame that Yaz got sick and couldn't play today, but it sure looks like a beautiful day and ERod was freaking dealing. Hope you had a great time with your dad.

In a season where so much has gone wrong, Eduardo Rodriguez has gone very, very right. Nice to see him put it all together this year - I was really not sure it would ever happen.

A reliever with 100K in 60IP can be so frustrating.

Bases loaded for Yaz in the 9th. I feel like I am in an alternate universe. So very conflicted.

Wait a minute: A major league team with Gorkys Hernández and Chris Owings in the starting lineup both hitting under a buck twenty actually won a game?
