I stream games on Prime -- the last few days the Red Sox game feed kept locking up, so I switched to Toronto feed without incident. Are you having similar issues? I just have cable and it was lagging

Choosing not to play Vladdy Jr while going for a sweep is certainly… a choice. Three games in and the rookie has already taken his spot in the order ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

A slumping Springer scared me more than anyone coming into this series; I wish those fears had gone unfounded

Glorious pitch on Springer on 2 strike. Needed to waste one away.

The Sox should offer their top-5 prospects for Springer. Guy might even be able to pitch in Fenway, ffs. Like sunlight to Superman.

I'm not saying you're wrong but I just don't recall that. I think of him as just a happy goober, except for the time he tried to kill Bryce Harper. Papelbon wouldn't have had any contract situations to be PO'ed about. He always made it clear he wanted to go to FA and the RS were Ok with that.

I guess the whole thing I find odd in the Story thing. He was pushing to come back early as a DH. But the Sox nixed that idea. Seems odd that you are pushing to come back early as a DH but now it is your hitting that is holding you back.

Seems odd that you are pushing to come back early as a DH but now it is your hitting that is holding you back. It is what it is at this point. Don't agree with Story, but winning today is all that matters right now.

I don’t understand how that at-bat was “phoned in”? It was ineffective but to call that phoned in is EEI nonsense

Another phoned-in Verdugo at bat Because he grounded out that means he phoned it in? The pitcher threw two tough strikes and then he made contact. He hustled down the line too.

I feel a little bit bad for Verdugo, the dude is in crappy slump and the pitcher he's facing with the bases loaded PAINTED the 2 1st strikes.

It was ineffective but to call that phoned in is EEI nonsense He's been taking fat pitches in the middle of the plate and getting himself behind in the count before weakly chopping ground balls for weeks now. Visually it certainly looks like he's not locked in to what's going on.

I don’t think Verdugo is phoning it in. I just don’t think he’s that good.

Another phoned-in Verdugo at bat It's probably a weekly segment on Fella & Mazzoli with Big Jib Murphy.

Whatever else, this season has given us a look at good looking arms. Crawford, Wink, Murphy… they look really promising.
