So Betts tonight, has the honor of batting between Pierzynski and Herrera. Why is Herrera still on this team? Are they afraid that, if Xander moves into SS for a night when Drew is out he could go 3-4, and that would be really baaaaad? He's still around because Carp, WMB and Victorino are on the DL. He'll be the first to go when one gets back. I'm not looking forward to the arguments when the other two get back.

Is Dustin's intensity coming back?

Betts' routes could still use some work-- he came in but then went back on what was a pretty routine fly ball. I'm confident he'll sharpen it in time, though, as he's only had a month's worth of playing time in the outfield since high school.

Why doesn't Xander go after the first pitch and shock them. Brock "regressing to the mean" or losing his intensity?

Workman's curveball is sharper than I remember. It's got more late break now and is less loopy coming out of his hand.

I'm thinking that Betts may have too much on his plate at the moment.
Bad job in rushing him.

Yet another new low for the 2014 Red Sox losing a three game series to the Cubs at home. Time for a clearance sale to get rid of Peavy, Gomes, Pierzynski, etc.

It's like watching an AAA team, some "prospects" coupled with some fillers. Xander does not even have the confidence to take the bat off his shoulder. He is not going to get the close calls.

What at bat were you watching? I saw Xander foul off a couple pitches, lay off a couple of pitches and then get rung up on a pitch that was clearly low. What else could he have done? I know he's had a bunch of bad at bats lately, but that wasn't one of them. The result was bad, but that time there was nothing he could much he could do about it.
