Farrell says they'll skip the 5th starter at least one turn. Decide then when to insert one. Could be between Sale and Porcello.

I get it. They want a lead. But Pedroia has 6 XBHs in his last six games. Don’t bunt. Hit more doubles instead.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 5:15:02 PM
If a guy who can run is on second (and Betts can run), bunting in the first inning is total eyewash.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 5:17:39 PM
Play for one run, get one run.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 5:19:32 PM
Keon Broxton was hitting .233/.313/.395 before the #RedSox came to town. 6 of 10, 4 XBHs, 4 RBIs, 5 runs since.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 5:26:44 PM
#RedSox pitchers are 0 for their last 25 with 21 strikeouts. Eduardo Rodriguez should have waived his right to an at-bat there.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 5:37:11 PM
Milwaukee starter Jimmy Nelson played with Josh Rutledge at Alabama and they were pretty good friends. Has walked him twice.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 6:14:06 PM
Eduardo Rodriguez is dealing in Milwaukee. 1-0 #RedSox through 4 innings. 1 H, 0 BB, 4 K, 53/38

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 6:26:43 PM
Rodriguez’s inability to get a bunt down in the second inning hurt the Sox. But Nelson helped manufacture a run for Milwaukee.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 7:01:18 PM
Tommy Glavine once said that in the NL, a pitcher can pick up two wins a year if he can get a bunt down and field his position.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 7:03:02 PM
1-1 in the 7th inning, there’s a runner on. Rodriguez on deck. Let him hit?

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 7:05:59 PM
Out goes E-Rod. Chris Young will swing with a runner on first. Sox taking their shot

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 7:09:17 PM
Seven consecutive games with an extra-base hit for Dustin Pedroia. His longest such streak since July 7-18, 2011.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 7:39:05 PM
#RedSox 1 x 8 with runners in scoring position today, 3 x 24 last two games.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 7:59:17 PM
Kimbrel has faced two hitters and thrown 11 pitches in the last 8 days.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 8:09:50 PM
Before that infield single, Kimbrel had retired 13 straight, 7 by strikeout.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 8:15:37 PM
More runners on. Top of the order up. Sox have to figure this out eventually.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 8:23:42 PM
Mookie Betts figured it out. 4-1 Sox.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 8:26:03 PM
Craig Kimbrel in the 8th on the road in a tie game looking pretty good right about now.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 8:27:15 PM
#feats of a second career go-ahead 9th inning (or extra-inning) homer and 6th career go-ahead 9th inning or extra-inning hit

by Alex Speier via twitter 5/11/2017 8:28:05 PM
Can’t say I know much about the Brewers. But Corey Knebel looks more like a closer than Neftali Feliz at this point.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 8:29:04 PM
Kimbrel is a beast. 4-1 Sox.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 8:40:33 PM
Kimbrel's 5 Ks match a career-high. That he did it in 20 pitches - even while giving up a hit - is absurd.

by Alex Speier via twitter 5/11/2017 8:40:47 PM
Mookie Betts: 17 extra-base hits, 15 walks, 10 strikeouts.

by Alex Speier via twitter 5/11/2017 8:45:40 PM
Kimbrel has struck out 31 of the 56 batters he has faced this season, 26 of the last 41.

by Pete Abraham via twitter 5/11/2017 9:18:36 PM
Kimbrel struck out the side on 9 pitches in the 9th — 5 of them curveballs. The fastballs were 97, 97, 98, 98.

Mookie Betts rescues the #RedSox in the 9th. Then Kimbrel finishes it off: bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/…
