TV: NESN, MASN
BALTIMORE, (14-31).............................................................................................BOSTON, (31-15)
BALTIMORE:
DAVID HESS, RHP, 1-0, 4.50 ERA, 3K
Hess, who has allowed three runs on five hits against the Rays on
May 12, will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to start against the Red
Sox. after giving up three runs in the first inning, Hess pitched five
scoreless frames and allowed just two hits.
BOSTON:
EDUARDO RODRIGUEZ, LHP, 3-1, 4.68 ERA, 51K
The lefty continues to be an enigma capable of holding the Yankees to one
hit over five shutout innings and then laboring against the Athletics for five
innings the next time out. Rodriguez hopes to get back in form against the
Orioles.

Anyone out there now have any doubts whatsoever that one, Cora is out of his freakin' mind or stubborn to the core of his worthless brain. AND, that someone behind the scenes is helping to orchestrate this farce. The bum is hitting 161, they cannot send him down because they know he will not hit much better at Pawtucket, won't trade him because no one will often nothing but a can of tomatoes for him. Prune Face Henry is partly or completely behind this because as dumb as Cora is he simply cannot be that dumb, and sooner or later, if not already, the sleepy press and media will wake up and finally let the team have it for this malfeasance of effort. Efen unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!
You rest Bogaerts but play a guy who is 4 for 48 in his last near 50 at-bats. Does that really make any sense at all.
If I MAY, how about we let CORA make out the lineup card..... D D take care of "DEALS" and try and get some confidence back into JBJ while waiting for the right PACKAGE to show itself..... Heck, we have starting pitchers, B P pitchers, Swihart, that need to go, but no one is going to take a look at J B J as he sits on the bench !!! iono iono iono
Bradley strikes out for the 8 th time in this series. Except for that four pitch walk yesterday, Bradley has now struck out every time at bat. He can not even foul one off. He is getting worse.

I've seen guys in slumps but they are usually hitting the ball at people. JBJ isn't even making contact. Hard to get out of a slump if you can't even hit the ball.
OMG Bradley got a hit !!!!!
Easy win. Took 3/4 from the O's. Pitching was pretty good. Hitting was decent overall. Can't ask for much more. On to TB on Tuesday.

B I N G O dat..... 32 & 15 ...... Got to keep winning as the YANK$ have so much offense they are so darn hard to keep down .... No team slumps there !!! iono iono
Geez, I missed a good game. O's with 13 hits and no runs? How does that happen?
The game was classic E-Rod. His stuff kept the Os off balance. They couldn't really square up any balls but hit a lot of singles. E-Rod doesn't have a put away pitch but his nibbling resulted in his usual high pitch count.
The Sox on the other hand were able to hit for power. A solid win against the disheartened and struggling Orioles.
Surprisingly even Bradley got a hit but still managed to strike out twice. He simply isn't able to get around on an average major league fastball. Until he does, pitchers are going to continue to challenge him with their fastballs.

Bradley!
Well we won the series three games to one and that is fine with me. Frankly, I never believed we would win all four but I was fearful all we would get out of this was a split----and that wouldn't have been acceptable to any of us. No one is complaining about Martinez now, right. He has been on a month's tear and along with Betts has given us a two-sledge power duo, and is nice to see Benintendi finally starting to hit with some power and getting bis average into the 280's Now if we can get Bogaerts going on a tear that would be an added shot in the arm for us. Day off tomorrow and I might just have to accept the bitter pill that since JBJ got a hit today we can expect to see him in the lineup all this coming week. Wow!!!! he went from 161 to 169. When you're that low a hit or two makes you usually jump 25-30 points but he has been no ineffective that he can only crawl up by eight points. We may have to replace the Mendoza Line with the Bradley one-------175 or so.

;D funny, bear
Amazing to see Bradley continue to get starts. I just don't get it, especially since the swing guy in that scenario is Moreland, who is also a lefty and who is hitting the cover off the ball. The obsession with resting the good guys and playing JBJ is hard to figure out.
You gotta laugh when you can with these players.
sigh sigh

Hey Rob, glad to see you back. Hope you got the guy that pulled a Tonya Harding on your knee! :o ;) Maybe send him after JBJ, it's the only way to get him out of the lineup. I swear he can't see - it was how I found out I needed glasses when I was 14!

Hey Rob since you were on the DL because of your knees you need to "rehab" before you can get back to commenting on the big club. This means you should only comment on the PawSox for the next three or four games. rofl rofl rofl 8) :) :) :)
