I’m more optimistic than you that Wright can return to his previous level. Of course it’s all subjective, but my thought is that there is a good chance a healthy Wright is better than what Velazquez will probably be. I’m not sabermetrically smart enough to know what the predictive stats say about that comparison. With Options available for Poyner, Walden, Velazquez, it seems like DD could manage the very good problem of having too many good arms. Throw the stats out the window for knuckleball pitchers.

Omg that catch by JBJ! One of his 10 best catches, maybe top 5.

Sale doesn't look like his normal dominant self tonight.

Reminder that MLB umpires are losers who are terrible at their jobs.

The attendance at this game is weak. I assume when the Marlins were last good they drew fans at a decent rate.
Now that I’m thinking this through, I’d tell Jeter and the Marlins front office to pound sand too.

God what a horrible play by Martinez. There you go. -1 run from not playing Mookie.

And Martinez doesn't catch a ball that Mookie probably catches without diving....

There's -1 DRS for JDM.

Glad I didn’t post “it’s great to see Mookie get some time off. I think JDM will be fine in RF”

I mentioned this last night but didn't get a response. I think Wright's roster spot could be in jeopardy. It would suck giving him away for nothing, but there's very little hope that he'd be better than other options since it has been more than a season and a half since he had his good run. Who knows if he could get back to where he was? All I know is that it will be hard to find out if he can and I don't know if the Sox can afford to do it. I think his rehab will be really judged. You're probably right, his spot doesn't look good to hold up.

Just for fun....
Sale is at 78 pitches after 4. Will he throw 95 pitches tonight?

JD is a bust. Worst FA singing ever.

Poyner is looking like he wants to stay in Boston for more than a cup of coffee. Nice job.

I just saw Carson Smith and my eyes started to reflexively wince.

Nothing personal, but it’s hard to describe the amount of sheer glee I have because Stanton struck out five times tonight. Is a platinum sombrero even a thing??

Really ugly fielding tonight. Maybe someone here can swing by after the game and give some pointers.

We are so much better when JBJ hits, here's to hoping he can consistent good results.
