Important to note that "immediately" refers to contact with the wall, not dropping the ball. In other words, only the contact with the wall has to be immediate, not the subsequent drop (the dropping of the ball only has to result from the contact with the wall). Hard to argue that he didn't contact the wall "immediately" after the catch (or that such contact with the wall didn't result in the drop). Could the argument be made that the wall didn't cause the ball to come out, but the ground did? What if a player catches the ball at the dugout, hits the rail and while still holding the ball falls down the stairs of the dugout and then the bench causes the ball to come out? The rule isn't nearly clear enough. Here is another one... The right fielder goes to the wall reaches and catches the ball and then hits the wall continues to take two steps and then slips while flipping it to a fan... with this rule then that to has to be a home run... just saying this rule needs to be clearer and non-bias.

I couldn't agree more. With each passing week I feel more confused about what this team thinks it's trying to achieve. Is this an example of advanced saber metric analysis? Gee years ago we would of called it by the army effect .... The platoon.

This is an absolutely ridiculous comment. Worse than trading Fred Lynn? Worse than trading Curt Schilling? Freddy Sanchez for Jeff Suppan? Jeff Bagwell? Tris Speaker? Get real. We traded Curt Schilling? For who, enlighten me. July 29, 1988: Red Sox trade Schilling and Brady Anderson to Orioles for Mike Boddicker

ERod has got to quit tipping those pitches or he is gonna get killed. Pujols just waited for that one.

Does anyone know what networks are broadcasting the first game today? I can't seem to find it in the TV schedule anywhere.

Masterson being moved back to the bullpen.One hopes it's Brian Johnson time after the break. I don't know how effective he can be there, but I guess it's worth a look-see over Ross, Breslow and the rest the of the Meh Heads. I would think with Porcello pitching that we need someone who can maybe get one trip through the order before imploding. That might be his only role relieving after someone with a high 90's FB. Ugly but right now we have nothing else.

I'll take Daniel Nava for 1st over Naps at this point. I love the guy but damn, he's looking brutal down there! Or Panda at first and Hanley at third... Hopefully that is why Sandoval was working out at first the other day.

I don't get that line of reasoning. Is it really too muxh to expect Rusney to learn MLB fundamentals enough to become the player we expected? The Sox will move more than $30M per year off the books in October just with Nap, Vic, Breslow. Probably more in other trades. The Sox don't need to move him for $$$ reasons. De Aza seems to be an above average 4th or 5th OF who, at 32, would likely get a reasonable contract under $5M. In that scenario moving a still untested Rusney and eating $$$$ to do so would only save a few Million, the cost of a not-excellent RP. Hanley, Betts, Bradley in 2016? What about 2017? What abojt 2016? I wouldn't get to much in to it as Olney in the past has been preaching what? ? Dump Hanley and Sandoval, or his “real concerns about the Red Sox,” where he then "identified problems with four of the five members of the rotation". and the fact that "Rick Porcello was the one guy who didn’t draw a negative comment." Not much of a quality newsday pipeline with those type of comments it seems to me.

It appears the law of averages just might even him up here, if he gets one more out he will have 5 runs n 5 outs...

Wow, what a mess Porcello has become. I didn't think he'd be THAT bad. They can't send the $20 million/year pitcher to Pawtucket, can they? He certainly isn't pitching like a major leaguer. Maybe call Tanya Harding?

Mike K, guys I put in a small donation to start the month but I'm now getN to be an old fart, who is disabled, retired n gonna be 60 on Saturday...

So I want to challenge you young bucks ... so if 18 of ya throw in 30 buck a piece I will throw in a extra buck for each year I partied hardy and that should get Mike to his goal by my birthday Saturday.... Now I know your all gonna celebrate it so I will send in my 60 today lets see if you all can chip it in and good ole Oregon Norm ought to at least pay the paypal fee so Mike can get there free n clear.

I'm not crazy about people who only care about money. Not in real life, not in sports. What's the lifestyle difference between $135 million and $155 million after already having $80 million in the bank?Of course, I'm also not crazy about the owners or cable tv companies either. About an 80ft extension on your power yacht.

Brian Johnson 6.0 1 0 0 0 6 Darn folks....call him up! 73 pitches and 59 strikes. 1 single and NO walks! Of course the same is being done to their offense, with Bradley having the only hit. Does anyone know what they feed those kids in Lowell? 10 runs already after 4 innings. Send that "feed" to Fenway! They must be feeding really good too ... cuz Tubby Tucker the 1st baseman was the third guy that tripled
