Well this is disappointing.

The first two runs were a fluke. But he seemed to be really fighting his control in that last inning. Agreed, the stuff looked much sharper, the command wasn't there. But for me at least, this was much more encouraging than his last start, I think he'll get back on track soon. I can't believe we're still saying this about Clay Buchholz in 2016

I see Chris Young is the scapegoat this year?

LOL, Salem. I just hope they don't promote the whole team before I get a chance to see them. Same here!

No problem whatsoever with how that turned out. It was clearly interference.

Turned on the game and the first minute of listening to Dave O'Brien was literally better than any minute of Orsillo's career. I just learned JBJ was named after his dad!!

It's not that different from what many of the people on the board were saying more than two moths ago: the infield is not the same as the outfield; this guy was a shortstop and he has the reactions; he'll have to relearn a few things, but he'll be fine. There was skepticism also, but the analysts now saying that we'll have to wait until the regular season to see how he performs are being silly, covering up for their own lack of understanding. It's obvious that the bar at first base is lower, and he has the skills. The only issue with Ramirez is always the one same: Can he stay healthy? I agree with you and always found the Hanley-at-first doubters to be a little bit odd. Almost like they forgot he had been an adequate defensive shortstop (and 3B) for his entire career up 'til last season and the org's bright idea to put him out of position.

So, Hanley's hitting the ball pretty darn well.

If Kelly's improvement is legit then that Lackey trade could turn into a big win. I'm very happy with the decisions to have Holt in left and Shaw at third to start the year. Sends a good message and I think they are two very important pieces to the lineup. I get Shaw wasn't highly touted as a prospect so he gets little to no love and he's not s lock to perform (who is?), but he has me excited. The Will Middlebrook comps are just lousy and lazy. Middlebrooks was way more hyped than Shaw but is fatal flaw was easy to identify and it's what killed him and always held him back. It sure would make it look good. I just think what else could we have got if we didn't want or get Craig. I just think 1&1/3 season of Lackey with one season at min salary was worth more then Kelly and paying Craig to play in minors. I understand starting Holt just think they are giving up on Castillo before ever giving him a chance. I am excited about Shaw also, just not sure what to expect. His minor league numbers are all over the place. He also performed a lot better in majors then minors last year, not something you see that often. Really can't wait to see how he does. I agree with being a little more concerned about the Castillo situation. I mean it's not like Brock would be unable to get playing time, as a utility guy he'd probably play 3, maybe 4 games a week as well as being a late-game sub. We haven't seen enough of Castillo to really make a good judgement, in my opinion. I guess what makes it more difficult is the fact that we still aren't 100% on Bradley, either. It's understandable to not want to head into the new season with 2/3 of the outfield being question marks offensively. (Although you absolutely can't argue with the Castillo/JBJ/Mookie trio on defense.)

This is great news. DD clearly isn't the type of guy to sit and wait if he sees an issue like Ben tended to do. This also gives Pablo the opportunity to prove himself should Shaw falter and I think that's best for both him and the club as a whole.

I didn't have much confidence in the Lackey deal from the start (never been a Craig fan whatsoever) but was ok with the Lester for Cespy deal. Cespy for Porcello I hated.

definitely some good stuff, other than having to sit through 6 innings of Keith Law's pomposity I enjoyed the segments after Edes when they were talking about Red Sox history. Law is pompous but he's minor league knowledge is outstanding. It's interesting that he differs from everyone else and has Devers as our number 1 prospect and somewhat considerably so. Doesn't seem to be a huge Moncada fan, which is... intriguing.

Some good commentary from ESPN where they said they had a convo with Chilli Davis and that he was commenting on how coachable JBJ is, his work ethic and that he remembers pretty much everything they work on. Also a very well done in-game chit-chat interview with Mookie, they had me laughing a few times. definitely some good stuff, other than having to sit through 6 innings of Keith Law's pomposity
