I think Straily might be tiring. I'd start him next inning, but have a quick hook. Boston has had some decent contact off him this inning.

Think he's done, pitch count.

You jinxed him.

No I didn't.  I spelled his name wrong.

I missed it, why was Hyde ejected?

to break up a double play, Devers slid through the bag into Villar.  Got no call, asked for replay, got it, they still didn't have a problem with the slide and Hyde got tossed.

It was not a terribly aggressive slide...but by the rule and the intent, IMHO, it was clearly out of order.  As it was Devers slid into Villar who stayed behind the bag entirely on the play and still got hit, though not injured in any way.

Sucre with a nice hit and run.....

[nate22]

That was absolutely the worst thing that could have happened. Martin is pretty tough to double up.

Dumb, Nunez.

The bottom half of our order uses paper bats.

sss

I think Earl is fine.  Plus, I am not certain, but if you watch the replay, I think Hyde asked the umpire to throw him out so he could take in some sights before he left town today.  In short, not really in Earl's league.

Mullins looks less like a part of the future as the season goes on.

Solid outting by Straily, (not sure if I spelt that right). Would have liked to see him come out to start the 6th though.

Actually, what he did was help to avoid an inning-ending double play. In fact, the pitcher probably could have had one rather easily by ignoring Nunez and throwing the ball to the middle infielder. At the very least, Nunez created a distraction and caused the pitched to pay heed to him.

I know Mancini is not known for his speed but damn, it looked like he was dragging a piano on that pop up.
