Teheran vs Rodriguez

Raffy keeps swinging at pitches way outside.

markj · May 25, 2018, 06:52:04 PM

And he K's on a pitch in another zip code. No need to throw strikes or even hittable pitches to these guys.

Holt shows Raffy how it's done. Four pitch walk. Almost the same pitches Raffy saw.

Markakis is still tormenting the Sox.

markj · May 25, 2018, 07:37:29 PM

JD and Xman both go deep. Sox relying on the long ball again.

Schloicka · May 25, 2018, 07:43:51 PM

Showing a little life at least.

markj · May 25, 2018, 08:08:10 PM

JBJ get a triple and then comes home on a sac fly. Sox up 3-2.

markj · May 25, 2018, 08:19:30 PM

Ok outing for E-Rod. Not very deep at 5-2/3 innings and 101 PC.

markj · May 25, 2018, 08:34:59 PM

Teheran about the same at 109 through 6.

Schloicka · May 25, 2018, 08:47:33 PM

Kelly with a good inning.

Schloicka · May 25, 2018, 08:47:55 PM

Holt with a bunt hit.

They're scrapping but not getting much. Looks like they may need the 3 runs to hold up, but the top of the order is coming up next inning.

Interesting listening to the Braves announcers commenting on what must be a priority for Atlanta pitchers - first pitch strikes. E-Rod among others would do well to heed such a philosophy.

Also a good tidbit on the radio broadcast earlier. Mike Lowell made the point that when he was Devers' age he was in A ball and still learning the position and how guys like he, Bogey and Beni came up so early that they still have to mature.

markj · May 25, 2018, 08:54:51 PM

Betts with a 2-run shot. Sox up 5-2.

longgame · May 25, 2018, 08:55:06 PM

Spoke too soon, Mookie comes through!

Seems like when JDM ties him for the MLB homer lead he needs to hit another one.
