I love 10-pitch walks. Almost as good as homeruns.

We're gonna play with this 3B situation anymore after this trip?

We're gonna play with this 3B situation anymore after this trip? My guess has been Tuesday at Toronto to bring up Xander for a few weeks now....No real reason for the guess but I'm hoping it's that time at the latest.

“@maureenamullen: Beato in Farrell's office with door closed. #RedSoxTalk”
I'm guessing he is going down for Morales

We're gonna play with this 3B situation anymore after this trip? If you the pitcher sox runs, that usually is enough. Not that third base isn't a problem, just that it wasn't the biggest problem tonight.

"Third basemen Brock Holt and Brandon Snyder are 5 for 37 (.135) since the trade of Jose Iglesias. The duo are hitless in their last 18 at-bats. Will Middlebrooks is hitting .316/.357/.500 in his last 10 games for Pawtucket with six RBIs ."
stats taken from Pete Abraham at the globe
This speaks volumes. If you're not going to bring up Xander than it's time for WMB to come back

I don't mind Farrell giving Ortiz the night off. I mind him giving Ortiz the night off when he's in the middle of an insane hot streak. In a completely surprising development, streaks turn out to be nothing magical and Ortiz can still hit home runs even after a day off. ...and the Red Sox got completely dominated by Bruce Chen the night he sat. So F off.

He would have had to homer every at-bat to make a difference in that game. So F off yourself - if you want to hate on Farrell at least give some good reasons for it, it's not like there aren't any.

Just for the hell of it. WMB vs left handers is .300 and Xander vs left handers is .333.

I'm all for WMB. And while the Dodger win offered a nice reprieve, last night was an opportunity lost to go up on Tampa by 3.5 games.
Does anyone know the maximum amount of time someone can be down in the 15 day DL? Is there a limit? If not, I think Snyder's oblique is sore and he needs a DL stint.

At this point I'd gladly take WMB over Snyder too, but I think Xander is going to give you the better boost.

I'm not one of the Farrell haters on this board, assclown. All I said was that I disagreed with giving Ortiz a night off in the midst of an incredible hot streak - there was nothing unreasonable about that comment. You're the one who decided to dig that post up 6 pages later with your douchey comment. Get over yourself, peaches.

The Tampa/ LAD game is on Fox this afternoon. Looking forward to a nice day of baseball. A Tampa loss and a Boston win to put them 3 games up.

@bradfo Appears as though @middlebrooks will be called up today, with Snyder likely going on DL

So Will comes back from exile. If he goes 0 for 4 with a couple of ks, will we then be clamoring for the X-Man? If not, who will be victim of our wrath? How about Dustin not resting? I am sure there will be Farrell's in game decisions. Not all is lost.
