Duran isn't a good enough OFer to try and get a running start on the catch and get his weight behind the throw. He knows it and was happy just to catch that one. Of course, he also has a noodle arm, so he wasn't going to throw the guy out even with the running start. I don’t think JBJ would have thrown him out. Dude has wheels. Especially since JBJ is probably on a plane back to Boston. It's a long throw from the sky. Speaking of which, does anyone know when JBJ was told about the DFA? Did they have him fly to KC and then tell him. That would be pretty crappy. They seem to step in it a lot on these sorts of things.

Dave O'Brien is so bad He just said that back in spring training, he would've taken on the full Eric Hosmer contract to get him on the team He's the play by play guy for the team owned NESN. He's going to pump up the guy(s) they just acquired. What do you expect him to say? Not like he's gonna say the truth that Hosmer is barely average at first but is somehow still better than the people they've been throwing out. I don’t disagree with this but please explain why they hired maz who does nothing but trash the team

How long will the Sox keep running Plawecki out there when teams run at will on him. Some of the Royal players have speed but the Astros ran as well. He did throw out one Astro amazingly.

When the Red Sox offense is asleep, I swear these games are like sleeping pills. We are fighting for a wild card spot and there is simply no excitement, no energy in this team. It's hard to even know what the identity of this team is right now. Not a great place to be in, not a great thing to watch.

Will a Red Sox outfielder throw out another runner at the plate this season?

Last four games - 3 runs on 6 hits, 2 runs on 5 hits, 1 run on 3 hits, tonight 2 runs on 4 hits.
Where will the runs come from?
