I will be unable to watch this series because I have a negative physical reaction whenever NESN puts Showalter on the screen. He's the dirt worst.

I'm not too optimistic with TT, but certainly there is hope he can step in and hep us in a big way.
He's apparently just visiting. Will be pitching in AAA on Thursday.
Just be thankful that you have the NESN feed, and not the Os feed.
The Os feed is so sickly annoying that I wish the game were on ESPN tonight.
And yes, Showalter is the worst.
Wake up offense!
WIN!!!

I would prefer Holt at 2B against a right starter, but that's a quibble. No Pawtucket game for Mookie, who must feel the batting cage was enough. Somebody did, anyway.
Holt is hitting over .300 and is a LH batter. It makes no sense to have Holt in the line-up instead of Nunez. Holt is also a better fielding 2nd baseman than Nunez, so Nunez is the optimal choice. I'm sure Holt would also agree with this.
Holt actually hits very close to the same vs LHPs or RHPs.
Career:
.692 vs LHPs
.717 vs RHPs
I was thinking of you in a post on another thread--and your zero tolerance policy with respect to Cora's lineups. I've been anti-Holt most of the year, but this year I like his defense and his hitting. For me a big surprise. But I like Cora and his judgment even more.
The Orioles radio announcers aren't bad--seriously. They stay focused on the game. They favor the Orioles but overall are pretty objective.
I don't hate Showalter, but I don't like him either. I used to like Joe Maddon, now of the Cubs, but now I don't like him either.
Well, it's near summer and the heat is on to take 3 or all 4 in this series. A re-injury of the strained muscle would be some kind of bad news, so expect Mookie to bunt 5 times tonight. At least Mookie sat down Blake Swihart for a well deserved rest. .. Now it's time to watch the 4-9 hitters led by Mr. Devers.
In other great news for the Sox, AG became available to day. One of Boston's clubhouse and fan favorite can come home and energize this bunch. Having beat the Yankees, the Mets no longer needed Adrian's services. Just get him a between inning chiropractor.
As Pete Abe pointed out, it was a nice little touch of irony that AG was released after a Sunday night game vs. the Yanks.
