The Red Sox have four hits so far and three of them are complete crap.

Meanwhile, Nick hit a ball that hit the top of the fence and missed being a homer by less than a foot.

And, as I'm typing this, Roberts gives the Red Sox an extra out and extends the inning. WTF... They gave him a hit on that. That is total BS. That wasn't a hit.

I liked how when Palmer was telling Hunter that it was not a hit right after Hunter said it was, he had to restrain himself from letting out a "what are you an idiot" line about Hunter. Palmer is great.

I agree, Roberts double clutched because he didn't get a grip on the ball. Should have been an error in my book. At least they got Ellsbury out.

Between the pick-offs and a few ugly things in the field, Roberts play has not been nearly as fundamentally sound this year. That was very bad even before the error. He didn't move toward the ball at all despite the fact that he had to know Lugo was going to bust it down the line. He removed all wiggle room from the play by laying back. I don't know what to think about him at the moment. He just doesn't seem to have the same focus this year to me.

I know I am throwing this out there, but do you think it could be in any way size shape or form related to him and the steroids issue? Or just that he does not want to be here anymore?

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Philip · Posted

      I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.

      This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.

      My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
