    Pedey had a very good night defensively and while he is bound to be rusty at the plate he held his own, got a hit and fouled off a few against Chapman. Nice to see him back.

    Exactly.

    We need a well rested Bogey for the playoffs.. . this coming from a guy who obsesses over premium SS defense.

    I'd find it difficult to say "Bogey" and "premium SS defense" in the same sentence.
    It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.

    Last night showed why Sox need Pedey in the lineup. His glove is a difference maker and throw rusty at the dish came up with a hit.

    Yup and it's the right call. Defense is a premium in the playoffs (see WS 2013) and they'll need a healthy Pedroia.

    Very nice to see Pedroia back. He made his presence defensively known right away. It will be good to get Jackie back today. There is nothing I like better than a well pitched, well defended game.

    I am with you on the defense at shortstop, but I am having such a hard time watching Bogaerts at the plate right now. He needs some time off.

    I agree that it's the right call. I would rather have him healthy for the postseason than playing all out right now. The team is holding its own without Pedroia in the line up everyday.

    Maybe even a week off- right after the Yankee series would do.

    Pedroia's contract is looking better and better.

    I think we're gonna have to do a Pablo with him.
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win

    Pedroia is not healthy. Who knows if he ever will be again. He is being gritty and gutty, but he’s hurting your team

    It is too bad to see him in this diminished capability. Age and injury have taken a toll and he is not the same guy of just a couple of years ago. Maybe with recovery from his injury, he will be a top notch second baseman again but if that occurs, it will be next year.

    Let's hope that they can get that knee healthy and that it is not too far gone.

    You mean that knee that Machado fucked up? That knee?

    Next year we can not use pedroia in the field as much as normally. He is good for 60 games a year max!

    Another signing that Larry pushed down our throats that should not have happened.
