Who hit the last non-Ortiz/Napoli homer for the team? Mookie wanted to be the answer to your trivia question.

Holy moly, for a little guy, he hit that one a long way.

It's nice to see a Red Sox hitter do with a belt-high straightball what he is supposed to do with a belt-high straightball.

Doubront's 87mph cheese is not helping his trade value.

What trade value?

Doubront looks like he is a called up replacement.

2nd & 3rd no outs. Again. Let's see if we can do this right this time. Have to bat nava here right?

Ok. So Farrell kept Gomes in and he and Xander and AJ swing at first pitches and do the absolute worst they can do. Who could've seen that coming?
Sheesh.

Bogaerts hit it hard but right at a guy.
Pierzynski joins the first-pitch parade.

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. Lately, how do you define lately. Not referring just to one abat, but the k was a good example. Again, he will not get the close calls. There isn't much that can be done though. They have to support him and let him work through this. He knows what is wrong, but as they told him, " it takes repetitions". However, over the years have seen kids with talent stumble and not get up, and we do hype our prospects. Often it is a trial by fire.

After watching Ortiz, the last few days it is obvious that they do not want to pitch to him (15 int BBs), Napoli is too inconsistent to bat behind him. I did not want the Sox to do this, nor do will I condone this in the future, but the Red Sox need a young Power Hitting OF and if they have to sell everyone (Except Betts, Owens and Swihart/Rubby) go for it. GO MOOOKIE!!! or just have Mookie bat behind Ortiz!

Nelson Cruz would help. Just let him play LF all the time.

Nelson Cruz will get at least 3 years at Beltran money. Maybe even 4yrs. No thanks.

"There's definitely a dichotomy with how we're perceived from the outside and how we feel about ourselves as an organization," a Sox insider says. "There's a great vibe around here. The sense of progress and potential is palpable. We all feed off that and enjoy coming to work each day, so those questions stand out as being a bit disconnected. We all sing 'Sweet Caroline' together."
The rebuilding plan is going exactly according to plan. The next 4 weeks should be non-stop roster shuffling.

What's the source on that, and where can get a gallon of what the "Insider" is drinking?

This was supposed to be a start of an easier stretch too. Looks like a sweep to the Cubs with 10 games left until the AS break then 13 till the deadline. On the bright side Buster said during the espn broadcast that NL teams have interest in Peavy.

I'm certainly not going to pull for them to lose, but making sure they lose enough to at minimum get a top 10 protected pick will keep me from being too upset from this point forward ever game this club loses
