| | I would be fully supportive of returning to Ortiz exclusively when and IF Papi works himself back into a groove, but at this point that seems more likely to happen if he is put into situations that give him the maximum opportunity to succeed. Ultimately, THAT is the prime responsibility of the manager in terms of managing game situations — to put his players in a situation to...

| | For the second consecutive ballgame a Red Sox starter pitched an outstanding ballgame, and for the second consecutive game a left-handed reliever left a runner in scoring position to be cleaned up by fireballer Daniel Bard, and for the second consecutive contest the young righty was unable to get the job done.
And so, for the third straight game, the bullpen took the loss in a Red Sox...

| | In a world where sports fans have seen ballplayers cheat (PEDs) and umpires cheat (the NBA), this is precisely what baseball did not need - an umpire giving fans a reason to question his on-field rulings for no other reason than he felt the need to shoot off his mouth!
And for what purpose? Does he really think anyone cares about his personal opinion?

| | In Rhode Island, the Pawtucket Red Sox rode the offensive exploits of newcomers RF Darnell McDonald and 2B Tug Hulett to an opening night victory over the Rochester Red Wings (MIN) at McCoy Stadium.
In Reading, PA, the Portland Sea Dogs started the season with four home runs and four stolen bases en route to a thrilling 10-5 victory over the Reading Phillies at FirstEnergy Stadium.

| | The numbers are glaring, broadcasting from the center-field scoreboard exactly how much has changed for Manny Delcarmen. It was perhaps easier in spring training, when there was no radar gun at City of Palms Park letting everyone know that his fastball had sunk to 90 or 91 miles an hour, rather than his usual 95 or 96. Now there’s no avoiding it, no chance to get away from the...

Lowell's seat can't be very comfortable

| | Mike Lowell is smart enough to know this was coming.
He knew that if he were still around, and if David Ortiz struggled, there would be calls for him to take some of Ortiz’s at-bats. Lowell is an innocent bystander, forced into a situation he can do very little about.
When the lineups were posted last night, Lowell was not among the nine Red Sox starters listed to bat against...

‘Strengths’ of Red Sox need tweaks

smokeyboy found this 3 years ago on news.bostonherald.com
| | The sample size is laughably small, but the Red Sox’ first three games of the season against the Yankees were no joke.
After dropping 2-of-3, the Sox showed they still don’t stack up to their archrivals. So as they flew into the country’s heartland yesterday, they understandably were looking forward to three games against a sad-sack Kansas City Royals team that...

| | While the Red Sox ventured off to Kansas City for the start of a six-game road trip on Thursday, two veteran pitchers got some work in at Triple-A Pawtucket in the hopes of earning a ticket to Boston in the near future.
Boof Bonser -- who opened the season on the disabled list with tightness in his right groin -- made a rehab start Thursday at McCoy Stadium in the season opener for the...

| | Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, a Tim Wakefield start meant a day off for Jason Varitek and a hard day of work for Doug Mirabelli [stats] taking a stab at catching the knuckleball.
No more.
Beginning tonight, when Wakefield makes his 2010 debut, it will be starting catcher Victor Martinez on the job.
