Hernandez 4 Renfroe 8 Bogaerts 6 Devers 5 Martinez 9 Schwarber DH Vazquez 2 Verdugo 7 Dalbec 3 Are those positions right for today? JDM in right, Verdugo in left, and Renfroe in center. This is close to the optimal offensive lineup, in my opinion. JDM/Schwarber in LF/DH, Verdugo in CF, Renfrone in RF. Kiké at 2B, Dalbec at 1B. Maybe Plawecki over Vazquez. If Dalbec struggles I'd swap in Duran, move JDM to DH, Schwarber to 1B and run Verudgo/Duran/Renfroe in the outfield. And if Arroyo is healthy I'd put him at 2B, move Kiké back to CF, Verdugo to left, JDM to DH, Schwarber to 1B. That's a solid defensive lineup too, getting Kiké back to the outfield and someone solid in LF. Defence alignment is interesting. I’d say small RF puts JD out there. The. Put the best arm in CF. I’m sure the same lineup in Fenway would have. LF JD. CF verdugo. RF Renfroe

Houck is simply not sharp (yet) - you don't want to give up that hit to an awful hitter (2 for 16)

I might have a short leash with Houck today. Give him a chance to find it, but be ready with the hook.

here's hoping our offensive performance over the weekend wasn't just a product of going up against aaa pitching

Montgomery is hittable. The Red Sox need to actually get hits against none A ball pitchers.

don't win many baseball games scoring 2 runs. We aren't out of it by any means. Runs !!

It’s tiresome seeing our guys repeatedly go up there hacking early in the count.

we need to re-sign Kiké

What Kiké did - make Montgomery throw strikes (JD, this means you!). We need to change our approach to this junk baller.

I can name so many instances in which I got PO'ed, turned the game off and the RS got back in it. I've turned it off now.
I am, of course, not mentally well when it comes to anything having to do with the RS.
