Yeah, because pitching inside to Mookie has worked so well for them so far... Agree with you that Mookie does a great job turning on inside pitches... I should have been clearer.. Given Showalter's history, I would not be surprised if he tells the starting pitcher to hit Mookie tonight If thats the case it would be smart if the Red Sox let the umps know about whats been going on so they can throw Bundy out if he drills him.

Rob Bradford @bradfo 31m31 minutes ago Red Sox won't get Tillman tomm. He's been pushed back a day. Instead they get O's hottest starter, Bundy With all due respect to Chris Tillman, I think if I was a hitter I would cry at this news. Im not so sure about that. He pitches really good against the Red Sox his numbers against them are better than any opponent. Who knows maybe the injury will cause him to miss some time.

I wasn't joking when I said Betts would be a top 5 MVP candidate this season. Legend! He's certainly adding to the resume almost daily at this point. Since they lineup change he's been on another level. I honestly think he might even be top 3 at this point. I think if he Red Sox make the playoffs He will no question be the AL MVP.

The worst that should have happened is Abad should have started this inning off with a walk and a single and then Ross coming in for him. What? You mean to don't leave Barnes in until he gets into trouble? You actually manage proactively? We can all manage this team better than JF.

If Bogaerts wasnt doing so terrible lately we would be fine. We would have swept the yankees if it wasnt for him.

Kimbrel is a heart attack. His command comes and goes, his velocity is down and he gets behind in counts far too often. I hope he gets it together for the playoffs. Anyway, nice start by Pomeranz. Hoping for more of the same. Playoffs? Dont talk about playoffs. You kidding me?

I swear whenever Price gets ahead 0-2 in the count he allows a hit.

FWIW, I get the same sense as you about this team. Something is missing, and it's hard to identify. But, years of Sox fandom has helped me recognize it when I see it. I'd almost describe it as, rather than picking eachother up, more often they seem to let eachother down. The run of close losses, the games like this, all of the bases-loaded innings with no runs scored...something's just a little *off*. They could always turn it around, but the intangible "magic" of a winning team like '04 or '13 ('07 was just a juggernaut) isn't there. I hold out hope, but they've just never taken it to that next level this year. They've never had it all click. Telson, you just said what I've been trying to say so much better than I could and with so much fewer words. Bravo! You get instincts watching this team after awhile. You totally get it! Yeah like when Xander Bogaerts says things like " It would definately kill us all" When he was asked if David has to miss an extended period of time that shows that these guys dont have that grit that they need to fight to the end.

I just can't believe it took that long to determine the count- in the NY review and that NESN took so long to confirm. Buncha idiots at the game tonight. I figured it out on my dvr and wasn't even around for the beginning of the AB. I never lose count of any game im watching. I dont need to read anything . Ive just been watching baseball so much thats its just like second nature by now.

It probably would be Kopech if he didnt miss the fifty games last season and the beginning of this season.

Remember how Kenley Jansen embarased the Red Sox last weekend? In his next appearance against the Phillies today in a non save situation he got knocked around only getting two outs, and walked two and allowed three runs. Weird

Evan Drellich evandrellich 9 sec. Get this: Steven Wright hurt his shoulder pinch running in LA diving back into bag. Scratched from next start. MRI showed no structural dmg. Unbelievable. Another questionable decision turned sour. Amazing. Yeah its also going to be 93 degrees and muggy as hell.

Because Groome's second and third pitches are reportedly far ahead of Kopech's. Groome was rated the top pitching prospect in the draft and he is nearly two and a half years younger. He has better control and a smoother delivery at a younger age. Groome's realistic upside is as high as any pitcher in the minor leagues, while there isn't even consensus that Kopech's is on a starter track. Hey, why you hating on Kopey! Kopech has the best K rate, ERA and ISO-against, as far as I can tell, in the history of the Carolina League.* These are statistical indicators, sure, but not to be taken lightly when they are such extreme outliers, over what is now a not insignificant sample size. *For pitchers with 30 innings or more. Hey deepjohn i have a homework assignment for you. Compare Jose Fernandez in his starts in High-A to Michael Kopechs starts in High-A. Break it down I would like to hear what you think.
