Well, tonight was a continuation of the playoff prep tuning. JB came back after missing a turn for back spasms. He was a little shaky early on, but finished up a decent five inning stint getting five K's along the way. The game WHIP wasn't what we'd like to see, but given the circumstances, not going to complain.
As for the other Hose, the offense looked pretty solid. Martinez continued his torrid hitting, getting a Slam that has him now at 108 RBI's for the year, and the first Sox member to hit in 29 consecutive starts since some guy named Damon did it in '05. Does anybody remember him? I think he left to join some team a ways down the coast or something.
Papi didn't get an RBI, so he's still stuck on 98, but has one more chance for the C-Spot. He did pick up his thirtyfifth double, not too shabby a number especially given his early season problems. In addition to Martinez, three other Sox got HR's, including Brown, whose shot I believe is his first MLB hit. Way to get started!Jake didn't play, so he'll have to get his 70th steal tomorrow. Finally, literally, a new Sox hurler out of the pen, Richardson, did all anyone can ask--an inning of perfect ball. Welcome to the club, Rich! May you have many others like it for the Sox.
Finally, for the followers of the blog--you know who you are--Welcome and thanks to Winter Park! Good to have you aboard!
