I rolled that back to re-look, playing back slow-mo..it is almost as if when Ramos immediately looked to Bennie, who had been doing a nice job catching their attention, the Ump, seemed to almost mirror Ramos' "look" at Bennie at exactly the same time, almost as he forgot that he had a call to make..
...that Bennie's activity got in his head, too!

Ramos is a terrible pitch framer.

Young continues to make his case for not being on the playoff roster as he can't hit LHP anymore.

I would have considered walking Devers to face Holt with the lefty, or pinch hitting for Holt with 2 runners in scoring position.

Why would you not PH for Holt here with runners on 2nd and 3rd? There are 3 other guys who can play 2B on the bench.

Can someone please offer some justification as to why Holt would hit in that situation against a lefty? I try to always give the manager the benefit of the doubt and figure he must know something I don't...but I just can't figure this one out.

You would have a better chance trying to justify the Lochness Monster than trying to justify that.

Keep swinging at 1st pitches, thanks.

This is as good as Porcello has looked all year.

Good call. That's exactly what he did there.

Way to pick Devers up, Porcello
More runs, please

I hope he goes the complete game. This bullpen needs a break.

This is as good as Porcello has looked all year. I wouldn't go that far. He's given up a lot of fly balls that would have been off the Monster. It's the results that look good. He's getting some good fortune for a change. (and he hasn't had much of that at all this year)

Holt with a hit!!! Yes I said it. Hit!!! That should be enough to lock up his postseason roster spot.

Maybe you guys already knew this, but i'll throw out this Tweet i read from Richard Justice today on Porcello:
"Sox have scored 0 runs 10 times while he was in the game. 1-2 runs 7 other times". (sorry, don't have the actual Tweet)
I know Porcello hasn't pitched that well, this year, but that's really bad when the Sox ONLY scored no more then 1-2 runs in 17 starts.

He's getting some good fortune for a change. (and he hasn't had much of that at all this year) He would of had a couple go off the wall. He's pumping in strikes and getting ground balls all over like it's 2016 redux.

I hope he goes the complete game. This bullpen needs a break. He has 6 more hitters til he gets to the top of the order for the 4th time. That's when I'd take him out.

He's pumping in strikes and getting ground balls all over like it's 2016 redux. 33.3% GB rate in this game, which is pretty bad. His xFIP for this game is 4.38, higher than his season average.
