I hope the new GM realizes that Brian Johnson should never pitch in the bigs for Boston again. He is terrible.
Sigh....21 pitchers on the staff and they have to go to Work in the 8th.
We may win a game!

Geezuz, we men in the audience finally get some sense at least for what giving birth must be like....its like finally winning a Sox game in 2019.
So for only the second Friday of the season we don't have a Sox game. Wanna' know which Friday was the first Friday when we didn't have one? That would be the Friday before the absurdity of the London two game stint with the Yanks.
Can we just take these schedulers out and put them in front of a firing squad now? Will somebody remember to pull Manfred out from under the desk where he has been hiding from his culpability in the Manfred Missile and make sure he gets stood against the rhetorical wall too.

What is going on with Beni?
Well he is not a power hitter as much as the Sox PR has tried to define him that way. It has not helped him IMO.
He has not proven so far to be a very versatile hitter. That has to come in time if he is to improve and he cannot let that long stride and long swing inflict itself on him again.
Beni has so far in his career only been a decent hitter IMO when the pitcher has to come to him. Notice the Sox offense overall is gone in the tank again. There are fewer hitters getting on around him and pitchers are more often not forced to come to him. He also gets less not more comfortable in the count as the count grows. Sort of the opposite of X.
He should turn out to be a terrific doubles hitter in Fenway Park. But if he tries to be a HR hitter anywhere IMO he will fail at that and he has to learn to hit from deeper in the order. I don't see many managers hitting him out of lead off again.
