Wonder how long Boyer will pitch.

Vargas is way slower.

Yeah, a single might've scored Hunter from second, but likely not Vargas. Moot point now.

Wonder how long Boyer will pitch.

To answer my own question, someone is already warming up so I'd guess he's done after this inning?

So I take it Plloofe didn't come thru?  I left for a bit.

Cole Johnson coming in to pitch.

Well, not even ... pitching change ... Johnson in for Boyer. Boyer went 1.2 innings.

So I take it Plloofe didn't come thru?  I left for a bit.

. Nope. And neither did Arcia. And because of a bit of a running mistake (imo) by Hunter, Suzuki didn't get a chance.

And Johnson gets the K to end the inning. And for Circus Boy again, no score after 2.

This game is part of the series to determine who wins the Mayor's Cup.

 

Hunter made a terrible baserunning play.Not sure the third baseman applied the tag in time, but the ball beat him, it's spring training, and he deserved to be out.

 

I thought Boyer looked pretty good.  Kept the ball down, good movement.  The Sox fouled off quite a few pitches, but the only two baserunners were a Santana error and a Napoli opposite-field doink.  He struck Ortiz out looking.

No, Ortiz swung at a bad pitch. And he knew it, too.

SB for Santana.

Right, when I typed "looking" I was thinking "swinging".  Low pitch in the dirt.  I wondered if Pedroia running on the pitch made Ortiz trigger-happy.  And then I typed "looking".  Thanks for the correction.

Uh oh ,,, runners on 1st and 2nd, on a single and a walk, one out ... Pitching change. Looks like Deunsing coming in.

You need to say something to the affect that this is the Circus Boy inning update.

. My wife did that also! She sent me an email that said, "you are so stupid". I replied, "HUH"? And she told me she was thinking "sweet" and typed "stupid" by mistake! . .

Looks like they'll need a bullpen of 10 or 11.

Tonight, yes. Guess that's how they decided to go with Gibby out. They still have some decisions there, so, not a bad idea, I guess.

Too funny. Our 'theme' of the evening.

Hunter just hit a double that went about 410 feet, bouncing on the track in front of the 420 sign for a ground-rule.

 

I think that Ortiz single would have been an out if the Twins had been in the same exaggerated shift they usually use for him.  Or if I were running, because the right fielder could have jogged in and tagged me before I got to first.

Halsey, shaddup. That was a solid hit, but a great catch.

I don't think this game is on FSN, is it?

I hate these announcers. Is this the NESN feed?

I want to play Delilah and cut Napoli's beard.

 

I hate these announcers. Is this the NESN feed?

Yes.

So after Hunter's 410 foot double, Napoli breaks his bat on a pop-up that just barely gets over the Green Monster.  That one might have gone all of, I don't know, 305?

That was a nice play by Arcia to keep that ball out of the corner.  Didn't prevent Victorino from the double, but it would have made a difference on a slower runner.

Yes.

First, they have yet to pronounce Arcia correctly. And then they said Mauer moved to first because of leg issues.

Ugh.
