The announcers keep talking about Devers' "slump" and it's literally just 3 games. In his last 7 games before today - including his "slump" - he had an .833 OPS. In his last 11 games he's hitting .396/.453/.771. And now tonight he has a triple. (ADD: and a run scored!) Pretty good slump! And now they're saying he's doing better because Pedroia was talking to him in the dugout, but I'm thinking we don't need a special explanation for the fact that Devers has managed to get two hits? ADD: and two runs scored! I need to complain about this every inning! |

Xander's HR had a launch angle of 19 degrees, as opposed to the 18 degree HR he hit last night. This one was only 417 feet. He better not push his luck trying for even more level line drive home runs.

3 pages in 2 games. Only the die hards left now. This is my 52nd year of loving this team through thick and thin...no way I am going to quit now! Hard core (and hard ass!) all the way. |

Vazquez!! I keep thinking he's going to keep falling and falling because it's so physically demanding to catch all year, but he's been so impressive.
Carlton Fisk was a catcher in a high school that was about 5 miles from wher I grew up.

Once again we realize that we kept the right catcher! He really is raking this season...such a delight to see.

Have they made any announcement if Johnson will "start" again?

Just a few days away from reinforcements - I suspect Shawaryn, Lakins, Brewer, Velazquez, Chavis, Lin. Not sure we need Weber, Poyner or Kelley. Not exactly a super exciting cavalry, that's for sure...maybe they will drop someone from the 40 man and add Dalbec..that would be fun.

Good Lord...this game is taking forever !! I didn't even realize. Off to bed......the rat race expects me to be at the starting line at 6:30 am.
Please win this game. See you folks around town.

Run 1 was on a bunt single run 2 was on a cheap infield hit run 3 came after a missed strike 3 call. This game is really obnoxious and is the kinda game we have been losing all season.
