Hard to believe the Sox could be stuck with Hanley for 2 more years depending on if his option for 2019 vests by getting enough plate appearances combined in 2017 & 2018. Needs 1050 plate appearances.

Any inning where you put up 5 runs is a good inning.

Hanley is useless. Hope he's gone next year.

Good thing about Hanley is he can only block a trade to 3 teams I believe. Sox will need to eat a ton of money to move him and that vesting option could be a hang up.

Maybe Betts is coming out of his slump?
XB on for the second time tonight, albeit through luck.

What was lucky about his last hit? Was an infield single and got to 2nd on the error. I'll take all the infield hits they get. Xman is 3-3 with an RBI & scored 2 runs.

Good game by E-Rod. Got through 6 innings. On to the Pen.

Betts out of his slump at least for tonight. Hopefully something to build on.

It was lucky because of the error. Otherwise he'd have been out.

Betts goes deep. Maybe he is breaking out of the slump.

The error was him going to 2nd. He got on 1st by a hit. That's why he's 3-3 tonight so far.

Whatever. If the throw had been clean, he would have been out. The catcher blew that play.
