Off the bat that longoria swing looked like a sure double but Bennie made it look easy.
God I'm looking forward to zero cheap outfield hits until sometime in the 2020s

If I just came out of a coma and saw this lineup if assume they were 12 games out, Papi was under the mango tree already and Petey was in traction, but I'd be happy Dumbo hadn't moved any future assets for lame starters obviously with Buck and his 5+era still getting starts.

Lol at that Jacoby Ellsbury throw "home" on the game winning Sac Fly. Didn't even make the pitchers mound. The ball wasn't even hit that deep. So true! Betts cannon redeemed his nonchalant kinda big timing the catch, followed by JBJ dinger and capped off by the chicken armed throw by Ellsbury. It's good to be alive, now back to the festivities. One tequila, two tequilas three tequilas floor!

Lucky Luccino was on D+C this morning and confirmed Pawsox were loosing Owens.
He seemed that this was a long term (as in forever) move if all goes to plan.

Kimbrel has no idea where that ball is going once it leaves his hand sometimes. Yes, at 98 mph it's very effective, but I feel safer with Uehara, who always seems to be completely in control. Said no one ever! (Umm until just now) Having your closers out pitch be a 60 mph change was wet my pants frightening. I'm much more fond of the power of GINGERMAN!

Ladies and gentleman, your 2016 American League all star, gold glove and mvp winner for the champion Boston Red Sox, mr Hanley Ramirez!
He will also author the best selling self improvement book ' the Hanley way' describing how the best attitude and effort combined with island spirit leads to a fulfilling life.
He will also lead a reunion of the seminal band 'dread Zeppelin ' singing as Elvis reggae versions of led Zeppelin hits.
And finally your vice presidential candidate for the Republican Party producing the Trump and the bump ticket!

Moving the cash is significant.
Now if they can move clay quickly I expect a surprise fa signing in that 20 mil app range.
It's not enough for Cueto but maybe even a trade for a 2

Do brisk is the enemy officially.
Kimbel is behind three pitchers in my mind. I'm ofiacialbky in the " dead zone".
Root for the sox but despise the doo.
Ownership fell for nice hair.
He is a fraud!

I would not trade Blake. I also would keep Vasquez.
With injury history I don't think a full time role is necessary for either Vasquez or Swihart until mid 2017 the earliest with 2018 a likely decision point.
Should Blakes bat improve to its ceiling it may dictate a move from the dish anyway.

Looks like he will only face three lefties tonight...Ells, Gardner back to back. Then gi gi at the bottom(so it will be three in a row). I've been wondering how he will approach Ells for a while. Spotting the fastball away to setup the change? Or looking for some chasing of the curve or even the recent slider? Ellsbury from July 12 on: .176 .224 .338 .562 Gardner from July 9 on: .221 .325 .294 .619 My sources claim Owens to throw a perfect game based on two underperforming pounders. C. Mortensen

I just finished the globe's most recent article on Cherington and his most recent comments, as well as Farrell''s.
Disappointing doesn't start to express how I see the current state of the nation. Disalluded? Maybe disemboweled....
1. Kelly to stay in the rotation. 2. Johnson sent down. 3. Farrell surprised by Johnson's lobs to first for pickoffs.
If the pick offs are an issue, why is this discovered in a major league game? Why has this not been fixed? Is there any teaching and development occurring other than what players execute on their own or naturally occurs through the passage of time? The two players who have developed and progressed (Betts, Bogaerts) certainly seem to have improved on their own and struggle making adjustments particularly quickly. The issue with Rodriguez and tipping off pitches also speaks to this. Shouldn't self scouting have caught and corrected this before game time?
This management team seems to make a choice, then sticks with it without regard to their lying eyes.
It is time to blow this up in a big way.
I really don't mind the management team staying in place as long as they are willing to make the moves necessary to make sure this underperformance never returns.
It seems to me that with current personnel we are strong up the middle and I do think Sandoval and Hanley in lf and third will improve.
To me, this is all about starting pitching and I would love to see the three top young lefties with every start in Boston possible this year. All the others have been disappointing.
Porcello ( I just misspelled as Porcelo and my iPad autocorrected to porcelain!) is overmatched but likely to be unmovable. Buckholz is off the table now with the shot (until Farrell said his time down would equal his time ramping up I thought then shot could bring him back sooner) Miley seems a value especially to a contending smaller market team looking to add a piece for a play off run and also replace a pending free agent. Kelly has shown nothing but how overmatched we are when dealing with the St. Louis front office. I do see potential value to others who may feel the Red Sox have actually hurt his development.
All the bullpen arms obviously would be available and could land a significant prospect or two.
I agree that Castillo and Bradley should split time in right. Any at bat by De Aza, Nava, Craig, Victorino, Napoli and even Hanagan are wasted opportunities.
Forget about the risk in promotions, move as many pieces not a part of the 2016 mlb plan as you can, and move up replacements from within. Margot should be in Pawtucket with a September look. Benintendi needs to move quickly as well. It would be interesting to include him and the Greenville infield to Salem and watch them hit as a group.
If their is management resistance to this 'don't trust any player over thirty' approach, rename him Pharrell and give him his freedom!

"The only weakness in the system now is near-term pitching after Owens, since Eduardo Rodriguez and Brian Johnson already have graduated to the majors, while former high picks such as Trey Ball and Teddy Stankiewicz have srugged"
This is the primary return I'm looking for as the selloff begins.
Double a or high end a ball starting pitching.

Other guys I like: Gio Brusa: highly rated coming into the year but hasn't stayed healthy Marcus Brakeman: good when healthy but a lot of durability issues Kyri Washington: Super raw as a hitter but huge ceiling if he can figure it out. AJ Simcox: good defender but questionable hit tool Tucker Forbes: huge 6-8 RHP reliever who doesn't have a lot of miles on the arm I'm all in on A J. I'm sure his tools are all natural and he may even share a nickname with that kid from "Outside Providence"! The possibilities are endless. Good news ...Simcox is a tiger...keep it clean kids

It will be interesting where we rank this time next year. Being number 2 for 2 years in a row is impressive. It is even more impressive when you see who we lost because of graduation. Yes it will be interesting as there is a possibility all of Moncata, Margot, and Devers emerge and leap into the top 10 overall. Also, there are a number of pitchers who could emerge as well, and Guera and Rijo also could be the one to move quickly.
