Early gameday thread with an early flight to Punta Cana. Enjoy the week everyone. Someone on the staff will be filling in.

Safe journey and beware the non-bottled water. Last time I was there my then-girlfriend experienced...intestinal turmoil.
Oh, and if you get a chance check out a drug store. Steriods and other banned substances are right out there in the open - I think in a section that, roughly translated said "health aids". We were amazed but saw the same thing in Panama and Ecuador (and Albania and Greece, for that matter).

Yes - he very nearly made the team out of ST (and I think he would have if he hadn't gotten hurt) and could still be a depth option if he gets healthy. Brandon McGair tweeted yesterday that Hassan will see time at first base. That should help alleviate the outfield jam. |

De La Rosa coming up to Boston, won't be starting tonight. This makes a lot of sense. Glad to see it. He's stretched out and pitched in the majors before. On cycle. We might need him. Go Ruby! |

Very interested to see how Xander's first few at bats go. The kid is so good he'll probably BB.

I love how patient the kid has become and recognizes he's going to get a lot of off speed stuff. I'd be more impressed with a couple of walks from him tonight than a HR, especially because he will be feeling some nerves.

and he walks. Impressive 8 pitch at bat for Xander and he did not swing till the 5th pitch.

While Webster has limited his BB's tonight to 1 (thru 6) he does have 2 HBP. I so hope he can learn harness his stuff. If he can control his stuff, he will be a top of the rotation starter.

I was thinking the same. He got decent amount of swinging strikes but at the same time plenty of balls (40% or so) to go along with his 2 HBP. Hopefully a full year in AAA can help him with that. It will be interesting to see what Redsox will do to the starting rotation for next year. No one is leaving yet they have RDLR and Webster waiting in the wings to go with Aceves. Does any one see a Dempster/Doubront/Lester trade? |

1BB, 1H, 1SB, 1R and 1 Out. Excellent 1st game. In the second game he will have 2BB, 2H, 2SB, 2R and 2 Out's. X-Man never stops to amaze
