GDT 8/15/18 Boston Red Sox (Eovaldi) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Velasquez)

[LoneStarPhan]

Worked perfectly. Yes, I know the shift works some of the time and in the long run it probably is a positive. I still have trouble seeing what seem like routine outs going for hits but I do like to see routine hits going for outs like that last one.

[zambonir]

Yup, nice inning for the new guys. One assumes they specifically wanted Ramos to face the Sox if he was ready.

[LoneStarPhan]

Some two out hits produce the insurance runs I had hoped for in this inning.

Now for some good work from the bullpen. Need six outs.

[kikutaro]

Martinez, J

Pitching Change: Pat Neshek replaces Aaron Loup, batting 9th, replacing Nick Pivetta.
In play, no out (86.6 mph sinker)

J. D. Martinez singles on a line drive to left fielder Rhys Hoskins.

[EastFallowfield]

Red Sox have an off day tomorrow, yet left the lefty in to give up lots of insurance runs

[kikutaro]

Bogaerts

Ball (77.8 mph slider)
In play, no out (79.5 mph slider)

Xander Bogaerts singles on a ground ball to center fielder Odubel Herrera. J. D. Martinez to 2nd.

[LoneStarPhan]

3 pitches.
2 hits.

Need to buckle down and get outs.
