Edit: or wardrobes?

I need something to listen to and can't listen to WEEI out of market and synch it up to mlb.tv.

Xander looks real bad at the plate, not solid at all, takes good pitches, and chases bad. At what point is it more than a "slump".

Damn, 2nd line drive out for Xander in last two nights. He doesn't need bad luck on top of sucking. That ball was ripped.

Wow. Butter held up a runner who was a sure out. Stop the game and give him the ball!

Jmei - you and ericmvan assured us all in April that this horrible luck with RISP would all even out as theyear went on. We're now past the half-way point. From here on out this is all on you.

Sounds like it was a courtesy move to get Hill back to the show, or a better shot of getting back. Regarding Rich Hill: My understanding is that Hill informed the Sox that he was "opting out" to become a free agent (July 1st). This gives the Sox some period (48 hours ?) to put him on the 25-man or say good-bye. So they trade him and A's put him on the 25-man, negating the "opt out". Players on the 25-man cannot "opt out". Sox wanted to determine where he went to keep him away from AL East teams.

I would seriously consider sending him down to AAA for a little

We got a run with no one on and 2 outs. No more excuses. They both assured us. This is why the season will turn around now.

Brian MacPherson ?@brianmacp 4m Since June 1, Bogaerts has been thrown exactly 100 sliders. He's swung at 57; he's missed 22. (per @brooksbaseball) Brian MacPherson ?@brianmacp 2m (Of the other 35 sliders Bogaerts has swung at, he's fouled off 19 and put 16 in play.) Alex Speier ?@alexspeier 1m Bogaerts in last 20 games: 6-for-72 with 3 BB, 21 Ks. .083/.118/.125 line No, Pitchers will keep throwing him sliders and will continue to get him out until he fixes his issues

I've just tuned in, so I might not be the one to judge. But buchholz looks much better. Pitches are live and aren't being left up.

I know I'll get ripped for this....but the Xander to 3rd is total bull. It's clearly effed his head up. Only the Boston Red Sox would take their crown jewel and screw with his head like this. Seriously, what other organization would've signed a freakin guy who has no future with the club to replace the best prospect they've had in 30 years.
It made no sense when the signing occured...it makes even less sense now. I'll go on record as saying it has clearly hindered his numbers and developement.

Meanwhile, I've got to believe the pitching staff is starting to get pretty fed up with the lack of offense.

Moving to third did not mess with his head... THe book is out on him he is terrible at hitting sliders at the moment. Pitchers will contiune to throw sliders until he fixes it

He hit home runs in his first 2 games at 3B.
