Good for Hill. He's a guy I've always rooted for, and he deserved another chance at the majors.

Line-up is out. Mookie In RF and batting 8th. No Nava against righty?
Holt - LF Pedey - 2b Ortiz - DH Napoli - 1B AJP - C Xander - 3b Drew - SS Mookie - RF JBJ - CF

Sounds like it was a courtesy move to get Hill back to the show, or a better shot of getting back.

So Red Sox have released Capuano after DFAing him earlier. He cleared waivers and the Sox still owe the remainder of his contract this season. Still worth the roster spot. Wait, so we still owe Capuano's salary even if he resigns with another team? What if we tried to outright him to AAA? That way we would at least have him in minors while paying him. Also from MLB Trade rumoes I think it was foregone that he would clear waivers, but it is official now.

That has to be the youngest outfield in the majors, and it probably isn't close.

Holt will probably top out around 5, but Betts and JBJ are both 10+ HR guys. Pretty disappointed to see Nava sitting. Lefties absolutely destroy Jackson, and Nava has hit .313 with a .405 OBP since the beginning of June while playing almost exclusively against right-handed pitching. Then again, the only people that you could really take out are Napoli (struggled mightily vs. Jackson in a SSS, but one of our most important hitters), Betts (no), Holt (blasphemy?), or JBJ (hmm). Bogaerts needs to be in there everyday, and I'm happy to let our beloved shortstop get a chance to pummel an easy pitcher he's done well against in the past.

Good for Hill. He's a guy I've always rooted for, and he deserved another chance at the majors. If he could ever keep his mechanics under control, he'd be a better lefty specialist (of the junk variety) than Javiar Lopez. As a guy who used to throw left handed many decades ago and the curve was best pitch, it hurts my arm now just watching Hill throw. JMEI.. I got a kind of long story would like to tell, sometimes they are rambles understand.. It's from Leo Durocher's book "nice guys finish last" about a pitcher he had named "Fat Freddie" Fitzimmons.. Durocher had Fitzimmons near the end of his career, as remember it was in late 40's, been years since read the book. Anyway.. His arm was a terrible mess by then and it was crooked, like when his arm would hang down (pitching arm), it wasn't straight it was so torn up from pitching. Durocher said he'd go out on the mound and every inning he'd come back? The arm would straighten out more and more... The absolute best baseball book I ever read, bar none. Better than Bouton's "Ball Four" and better than the classic by Bill Veeck "Veeck as in Wreck" which was another no nonsense insider write up. Every other book I read was candified, Bill Lee's, Billy Martin's POS, Yaz's was terrible. Tiant's.. Those 3 are classic old timer guides to the game, but Durocher's is it. Full of funny story;s and great info on the game. Doesn't hurt he was my favorite manager, followed by Ear "the gerbil" weaver.. Hey... Move this monologue, or dump it you want..

All Infield outfield though. So we've got that going for us, which is nice.

Nice double play started by Drew. Really do not understand the Drew hatred. Very good defender and productive hitter for most of his career.

Stuck watching the Cubs broadcast as opposed to my usual ability to run the WEEI audio with NESN video on MLBTV
Though they mentioned fangraphs and advanced defensive metrics in the first inning, so yea, already miles ahead of NESN

I'm glad he was out if it means Vazquez replaces him sooner.

At what point do you DL X so he can gets some time in AAA to fix his issues

Rich Hill is already pitching for Angels, that did not take long.

He should have been tackled by the 1b coach. AJ can't be expected to pay attention.
