Holton only threw 18 pitches. He should be fine for Sunday, if we need him.

Tricia, the on-field broadcaster was wearing a tight leather top. And Trey was trying not to look down.

Red Sox leave bases loaded. 1-1 headed to the 9th. Royals trailing 2-0 in the 7th. Mariners up big. 

[IdahoBert]

Boston and Minnesota tied 1–1 going into the bottom of the ninth with Boston at bat.

Keith needed to DH because of a slight shoulder injury.

Then bench Carpenter or Keith. Don’t mess with the defense which has fueled our run and supported our good pitching. IMO. 

[lordstanley]

Red Sox batters have struck out 16 times tonight. 

[lordstanley]

Win it now, Boston.

Hindsight. Carp has played RF enough in his career. It's not like he put somebody with no experience out there. I didn't see the play but if Meadows didn't lose the ball, he has to take charge.

[lordstanley]

Damn, Sox have winning run thrown out at plate. On to the 11th.

I’ll allow it.  If we’re gonna drop a game, let it be against Burnes.  We can take the next two.

Selfishly, since I wasn't able to watch/listen, I'm OK with it.  but I'd be OKer with it if the Twins had also lost, so that kind'of sucks.

Good point but not hindsight. I am playing Verling in right -Riley in Left and Meadows in center every day regardless of pitcher. I have been saying that all year.This is allows them to be more familiar with each other and prevent miscommunications. Plus Carpenter is poor in the field and Verling is excellent. I make defense a top priority. Just my opinion.

I agree. If Keith couldn't play the field, let him rest his shoulder. McKinstry can take his spot, why risk him hitting or running the bases? Vierling is a much better outfielder than Carpenter. Of course, I wouldn't ever have used Shelby Miller in high leverage situations either after 2 or 3 blown saves. But Hinch allowed him to blow 8 games for us. To me, that's an even bigger mistake. Of course, I still haven't seen that fly ball Meadows/Carp let drop. My only point is that as a CF, Meadows has to take charge on anything he can catch. He's done that a few times this season but he'll learn, he's still a young player.

Mck was already in the game at 2B, the added player probably would have been Jung to give you: Keith->bench, Carp->DH, Vierling->RF, Jung->3b. You'd be subbing one LH bat for another.

Doesn't make much sense, I guess.
