Holt's play in all phases of the game is sub par MLB, even for the 24th man on the roster. If either Bogaerts or Pedrioia are not ready to play by next Sunday, the Red Sox send Holt back to the minors and pick up,a utility player.

Velazquez doesn’t have great stuff, but he knows how to pitch. Being able to move the ball up and down, in and out and command your fastball can get a pitcher pretty far in this league. He reminds me of Buchholz, but far less aggravating. And of course without the high ceiling.

There's no need for any other utility guys.

That may have been the at bat of the game with Velazquez and Machado with 2 runners on. Great job by Velazquez.

I find it funny that Hanley's walk up song is a-Ha Take on Me because you hear some of the crowd trying to sing at that octave that only dogs can hear.

I can't wait to see how many HR JDM hits in Yankee Stadium and Camden Yards.

Free and Easy. Damn. I hope he demolishes RF at the toilet.

You know you're in a good place as a organization when your 6th or 7th starter in Velazquez is better than most team's 5th starters.

Hopefully Swihart doesn't get PTSD out in Left Field.

Mookie out, hopefully just banged up and sore. The way I see it....and barring something unforseen...i think our leadership is always going to err on the side of caution. I respect that.

Hopefully that's precautionary.
First appearance in RF for JBJ since 2015. Probably will be the move whenever Betts needs to sit at home and they slot JDM or Swihart into the outfield.

Big inning here. Velasquez got some heat on him. Excellent double play. Holt with a nice gun there.

Tzu Wei Lin is really, really impressive. He has matured so much in just a few years. He should be on this team permanently.

So nice to see things that make sense rather than putting Chris Young out there because no one is capable of change even for 5 innings. With that said, Swihart is probably ten times the OF that Chris Young was already and could probably handle RF.

I know a lot of people don't like Holt, but it's getting really hard to find a spot for Swihart. Holt would be a great guy to give a 25th spot to a roster and fill in here and there in the outfield and infield. Plus, he has a option when Pedrioa comes back. Lin should be here permanently also. There's going to have to be a trade of Swihart or Leon if you want Swihart here.

It’s a shame Swihart can not get more playing time. I hop they do what they can to hold on to him.

It's just too easy. We're spoiled as hell this early in the season.
