So, Koji is hurt. Maybe it is nothing, maybe it is everything.

Uehara felt shoulder stiffness when he was throwing long toss before the game and was held out for precautionary reasons.

"It's not something I feel all the time," Uehara said. "It's not pain. It's tightness when I throw. I feel it."

But by the time Mujica took the mound, the participants had already dug in for the beginning of what could be a very uneasy reality.

"When I signed with this team they told me, 'We're going to have a lot of opportunities in the bullpen.' The job I did last year they said, 'Mujica can do the job if Koji goes down.' But everybody is ready to go to do whatever role," said Mujica, who would come on to throw a 1-2-3 ninth in picking up his first save as a member of the Sox.

Like I said, could be nothing. Of course if it is something then I have a hard time seeing a 39 year old coming back from a shoulder injury.

Uehara remembered feeling a similar discomfort two years ago while pitching for Texas. It was a problem, he explained, that lingered for two months after it cropped up a second time.

"It's not something I feel all the time," he said. "It's not pain. It's tightness when I throw. I feel it."

Uehara could very well show up to the park Saturday or Sunday and feel like a new man. But, then again, he might not. And if doesn't Well, the perception of these Red Sox might be splattered with a whole big bucket of uncertainty.

Perhaps a cocktail of platelet-rich plasma injection in his bursa sac will give him hope and then fail to help....:scratchchinhmm:

Oh, you mean like we did for Britton. The Orioles foolishly thought that worked without sending the injured player to Canada or Europe for the SPECIAL mixture. I guess if they were aware of the availability in southern Florida, that would have worked to. Something to be said about those strip malls.

    • The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.
    • Looks maybe concussion related. 
    • How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.
    • I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made. 
    • Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
    • emmett16 is right. Uppercut swings produce a lot of groundouts because the bat is not on the same plane as the ball for very long. The best swing stays on the same plane as the ball for a longer time. This will produce contact that creates backspin on the ball which makes it carry. That Ted Williams book is one of the best hitting books ever written.
