Ha. While you can say that's a "lack of experience" thing, it was really just a straight flub. Any decent baseball player at any level should be able to stretch forward to catch a ball with their hind foot touching a base.
Nice, Edward.

When was the last game the Sox had two rookies get their first hit? Jon Shestakofsky Cecchini and Hassan are the 1st pair of Red Sox to make ML debut and get a hit on the same day since 9/28/75 (Steve Dillard, Andy Merchant). Andy Merchant.. There is a name from the past.. I think #50 must have set a record ( loosely said) for the amount of times in ST without breaking camp, or getting time with the MLB club. He had firey red hair also as recall. A nice fellow and played for years in the Sox MiLB system

It's always so fun watching Sean Rodriguez play LF at Fenway.

I'm guessing Maddon complained that the challenge wasn't immediate.

Talk about deception. Forsythe looked like he was facing Nolan Ryan in his prime on those 87/88 mph fastballs.

Maddon/Rays get swept and it didn't take the RS best to do it. They stepped on Maddon's glasses.
Wonder what this roster is going to look like after the AS break? Seven in a row look at 'em go!

The Sox now have been involved in six consecutive series sweeps. How weird is that?

Report that Carp has a fractured foot
Guess it's Brock Holt, starting 1B for the Red Sox until Napoli is pulled from the DL

Nice snatch by Koji, look what I found! Lose 10 sign Drew and now win 7. The rest of division isn't running away. You got to love to contribution from the kids. I love The timing of Dan Shawnessey article in the globe questioning the farm system. I hope he is on the Baseball Show tonight.

Kevin Thomas ?@clearthebases 5m Carp going on DL (broken foot)
Ryan Hannable ?@ryanhannable 10m Mike Carp fractured his right foot. He will be out awhile.

Carp on the DL? Time to call up Nava so he can sit on the bench some more.

Scott Lauber ?@scottlauber 5m Best guess: #RedSox will option Cecchini to Triple A, call up Nava (more familiar with 1B); DL Carp, activate Drew
I agree with this. Hassan stays until Sunday when Nap is activated.

Hassan stays until Sunday when Nap is activated. I'd just as soon the Sox place Shaw on the 40 man roster and go with him over Nava. They have a couple of guys who can be DFA'd/outrighted off as it is with Wright, Lavarnway and Butler.

Why, you think sitting on the bench will be better for Shaw's development than playing a second week of AAA ball? If they add someone to the 40 for a callup then it should be Brandon Snyder, who could also platoon with Stephen Drew. BTW as I understand it Wright is not currently taking a 40-man spot because he is officially on rehab assignment on the 60-day DL.

Perhaps we need to curb our enthusiasm . Drew has a ten year career and Holtz has been hot now for what a month or so. He also has been lucky as his doubles to Rodriquez shows. Not knocking the kid for I feel he is legit and could be a super sub and fits into the Sox's future in some manner. But Drew is a very good shortstop with some pop in his bat, with a ten year proven career. Most criticism of him has been emotional and at times juvenile. He is going to be the regular shortstop, barring an injury. Holtz fits in very well as a very good sub, and , and Holtz will get alot of playing time. X-Man will also play more short than you may expect.

It's always so fun watching Sean Rodriguez play LF at Fenway. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy...chirping with ten of his teammates between him and the Red Sox each time the benches cleared. The Rays are a bad team but it is still sweet sweeping them.

Boston is just 2.5 games out of the second Wild Card, albeit with five teams ahead of them (Yankees (current 2nd WC), Orioles, Rangers, White Sox, Mariners). Still 6 games back of Toronto, though.

Not hardly. Whoever is called up will get the bulk of the playing time until Napoli comes off the DL list.. Cue in Holt playing 1b today...

Thanks to Mr. Hatfield for the correct way to pronounce Cecchini , chick key knee, but that dude needs a nick name.

Napoli and Victorino are both eligible to come off of the disabled list next Sunday. If they're on schedule of course. Will only miss 5 games. Then, it looks like Nava and Hassan go down. We're good to go until WMB comes back, performs well at AAA and pushes for a promotion. Still think we upgrade the OF at the deadline.

The Red Sox soon enough are going to need a 40 man spot once Wright is activated. Napoli is going to be back in a week. Is Travis Shaw really so good that putting him at 1B for a week is going to make a big enough difference that it's worth getting rid of someone? I don't think so.
