Never has an AL team scored in all 9 innings of a game. Edit: In 1923, Indians scored in all 8 innings of a 27-3 victory over BoSox. Cleve was the home team The streak continues. 118+ AL seasons without a 9-inn feat.

Kinda wish Josh Ock got a call-up with Mitchy down Not on the 40-man roster. I assume Sox don't want to start burning options for a brief stint. Maybe later in the year. Won't burn an option that way.

Count the number of blowout games this month. Cora does not do late inning subs. Doesn't rest Xander nor Mookie. Does Cora need a real-time Win Probability chart? I am not going to bet against Cora after last year. He clearly has a plan and runs with it, and it is hard to argue with success. I think there is a method to his madness - who he uses and doesn't use, and when - Anytime you can get an extra PA for Nunez, Pearce, Leon, it has to help them. They each average less than 1.5 PAs per day. Wonder why other teams sub. 8 blowout games in May.

Heath Hembree is not good. Hembree dominated in the month of May.

Seriously, Nunez at shortstop today? I thought they were going to activate Holt. There is zero reason for Nuñez to even be on this team. He is a sunk cost disguised as a black hole. The disguise is working.

You know what gets old? It's your constant "have IT, don't have IT factor". That's why I don't read Shaughnessy and the likes who made a career for themselves churning that kind of crap. It's always the same with you and your It's different life philosophy maybe. I don't prefer to think that "my guys" are the best out there and are going to steamroll their opponents unless they really are far superior to their opponents and I think that's what they're going to do. I'd rather be surprised when they win than devastated if they lose but frankly I don't look at baseball as a "Red Sox fan". The Yankees and Astros should have beaten e it to the guys who think, "They're MY guys, so of course, they're gonna win!" If they lose, just wait 'til next year ...

Any lineup that excludes Nunie is a fine lineup.
Nunez Pearce JDM Is the bench.
Swihart gets the start in LF vs LHP Lauer.

Waiting for Holt.
His arrival will push Nunez back to the bench

Cora. Does not like to do defensive substitutions, even in blowout games.
On a positive note ... I recall previous years when Mirabelli was not used as DH cuz if Varitek got hurt, the team would lose the DH. But Cora used Nunez as DH, even though an infield injury would force them to lose the DH. Cora is showing potential.

Wow, I hadn't even noticed that Porcello has only allowed the one baserunner on the popup error in the last 5 1/3rd innings. Great comeback. 0-19 before the walk. Includes the E-1 Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Alex Avila has been reinstated off the Injured List, the team announced Saturday. Infielder Ildemaro Vargas was optioned to AAA SWIHART is back to being the 4th catcher on the 25-man roster.

Wow! Came in from yard work to see Raffi, JBJ and Sandy magic Wow. With Win Probability at 97%, the bullpen can handle it. The rest of us can get Back to Yard work. Nobody misses Swihart. It's Sandoval who's making highlights

All this success will drive away the foul weather fans. Best to slow down.

I agree about letting jackie work through things (not like we have any other good options); it's just when you have Nunez and Leon in there at the same time, it really shortens the lineup. When you have say Chavis and Vazquez hot like they are, the lineup should still be good if jackie continues to slump. What if JD goes 0-6 ?

Chavis sits. Nunez 2B.
TB in the 10th vs. AZ. Swihart LF. 0-4. k, K, 8, 4-3.
