Too soon for pinch hitters Rocco, Especially with two outs and only a runner on first.

Garlick has a career 119 wRC+ against lefties, but 44 against righties.  As such, he's not going to see a lefty the rest of the game, and since he doesn't bring any excess defensive value, I have no problem yanking him the second the opposing team's Southpaw Starter is gone.

Plus, Kepler is the better OFer.

The strikeout pitch was outside but still the same old approach for Kepler. They were throwing him stuff on the outer half of the plate and the one ball he hit was a rollover ground ball to the first base coach.  He got at least 2 pitches he could have hit the other way; didn't seem to make any effort to do so. He is what he is, a below average hitter that should be our 4th OF, not a starter.

Really interested to see if Bundy gets to go out for the 6th. The Red Sox top of the lineup is as good as any in baseball, and Bundy's numbers on the third turn are not pretty. However, the pitch count is. there. 

I'll take Bundy the 3rd time through the lineup vs the bullpen - at least, not 4 innings of the pen.

I think you have to let Bundy go out for the 6th. We need to see if he can pitch deeper into games. This would be a good test.

It’s a complete joke when I make comments about Sano and his fans act like I should be worried because he might come over and beat me up or something.  Let’s get real, he makes some good plays, so he actually can do it. Makes me think he’s not into the game when he makes the bonehead plays, that’s worse than just not having the talent.  He earned that criticism
