Nice to see a clutch hit by Swihart. Get this Rodriguez kid the victory.

I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time. Holt is a good player, and a very useful one, but the idea that he's elite is a bit of a stretch. He's a streaky hitter, and the next bit of downside takes him back towards career norms. Still, he's about as good a utility guy as you'll find.

Norm, Holt is hardly elite, and I'm not implying that all. I do think he could be a good starting 2b for another team. He reminds me a bit of Marty Barrett, who was good, but no superstar. As a utility man, Holt is awesome, but of course you're comparing replacement level as a backup rather than comparing an everyday player to his counterparts.

OK, get him out of there. Couldn't get the last out in the 8th, but that's fine - lost it after 100 pitches. No shame in that, in the excitement of one's ML debut.

I would be ecstatic if he were the only All-Star player for the Red Sox.

Absolutely awesome. What a debut. I only wish it happened at Fenway. He deserved to walk off the mound to a monster ovation. But that's small potatoes obviously. Unreal. Congrats ERod, that's one to remember.

My boy Tommy Layne. What a good game to watch. Props for Farrell, anyone? That was certainly the right move. Choo must see that left handed sidearm stuff in his nightmares. Add: Man Betts is so much fun to watch... Coming to you from the great northwest

So is E-Rod's next start in the majors or the bucket?

Still, he's about as good a utility guy as you'll find. it brakes me hart that Iglesias is gone cuz Bogaerts-Iglesias-Holt could have dominated starting all-star infield lineups for a decade. And it woulda been a sensation to see the 3 of them enter the Hall uv Fame together, perhaps in my lifetime. It could still happen, but Iglesias won't be wearing a Sox uniform. Alas, sentimentalism has no place in baseball today.

IP could become a concern for EdRod if he stays in the rotation. It looks like he pitched 145 in 2013 and 120 last year.
I doubt they'd want him to go more than 145 or so here in 2015.

So is E-Rod's next start in the majors or the bucket? His next start, I have to think, will be in the bigs. Joe Kelly should be on apartments.com right now, I'd say, looking for a place in the Providence-Pawtucket area.

Perfect result if not for Bogaerts getting hit. Betts, Swihart and Rodriguez all producing, and Ramirez rebounding.

Not to be the turd in the punch bowl, but instead of bringing in a warmed-up Tazawa, Farrell goes for Uehara for one out with a four run lead and a runner on first. Not the best managing in the world.
