Clearly Wright shouldn't be pitching. “@bradfo: Whether agree or not, here is why Wright got start: Previous 2 ML app: 8 2/3 inn, 0 R, 5 H. Last start in minors: 9 IP, 0 R, 4 H” Yes he earned it. Our catcher just can't catch for shit

Workman is a starter. He is meant to be one. In his 3 starts this year, he did very well. As a reliever, well... bad. He is obviously not comfortable coming out of the 'pen. And what was the sample size of him being a reliever? I mean it must be huge if it is "obvious" he isnt comfortable. His first major-league appearance didn't go well. Today isn't either. Yes, small sample size, but I really think he should be a starter

I mean, most guys love having to warm on on short notice in the second inning to make what is essentially a start.

So, um, why did Wright get the start over Workman in the first place? I will lose faith in the Red Sox if Wright isn't DFAed immediately after this game. Or right now. I'm sure Pirates fans felt the same way back in '95

Who was giving some of us a hard time for sweating last night's game? Tellll me more about runs scored this year as we lose a series to the worst team in baseball. You sure do get butthurt with a quickness. Take a deep breath bud.

Ellsbury will do just enough post All-Star break to convince a team to give him a massive contract. As much as I'd like him to stay with the Sox, he's hitting too much for a team not to break the bank on him, and I'd prefer the Sox don't get into another $125M+ contract for a guy who relies on speed once he's on the wrong side of 30. Take the draft pick, use a combination of JBJ and Victorino until you can hand the full duties to Bradley, and find someone to spend the money on, likely have to trade and extend someone

Idc about Steven Wright. Part of the "give the other starters extra rest" statement means "Give Jon Lester extra rest because he blows without it". It's easy to complain about this start in hindsight, but Wright did deserve the start, and the Astros are the team to do it against.
What I do care about is Mike Napoli. SMFH

Now if they wanted to start him vs DET that's a different story. It's HOU

Napoli batting in the 5 hole would make Bobby Valentine proud.
Well done Farrell.

You know, if people are slamming the decision to start Wright a little too harshly, they're still right that it was a bad decision. It's an error of degree, not of type.

NapoLOLi." ------------
The frustrating rants are turning into more genuine concern. He supposedly is a better second half hitter but I'm not seeing it and really am in doubt now if it's going to happen.

The guy had like 5 minutes to warm up for a start. Sure, he might have sucked anyway, but it's not like he and Wright had the same situations to work with. And zink is defending Wright because he has a bizarre obsession with the knuckleball. Wright could have given up 29039032 runs and he still would have said he "earned" the start.

I don't understand why Napoli is still hitting 5th, it's really getting to me. Part of what frustrates me is how he swings through pitches right down the middle with such ease. This isn't a case of WMB chasing every low and outside breaking ball, this is just Napoli missing pitch after pitcher after pitch right down the middle. I wanted data to back this up and sure enough Napoli ranks DEAD LAST in all of baseball with a 72.1% Z-Contact% (measures percentage of pitches made contact with in the strike zone). I don't know what the solution is for the 5-hole, but it isn't Napoli. Ortiz is going to draw more and more walks if they continue to stick him there.
