Brock Holt is the GOAT

Who would think that Buchholz and Kelly would be undefeated this season. Wow, they are the GOATs. If only though. This is going to be a long season if every game expect when Price pitches, ends up like this. Joe Kelly looked terrible last night. He went 3 innings with 7 hits, 7 runs, 7 earned runs, 4 strikeouts, and 3 walks. He had no control of his 95+ mph fastball. It so confusing how someone with such great stuff could be that bad. He needs to take "a trip" to the DL again so he can find himself. Heck if he loses his job then maybe we should convert JBJ to a pitcher because he threw a ball from center to home at 101 mph. These last two games showed the desperate need of a strong #2 starter. Dombrowski make it happen please, sooner than later. 

The bullpen was lights out after Kelly's shitty ass got out of the game. They retired 14 of the 15 batters faced and went 6 innings with 2 strikeouts, 1 walk, and no earned runs. They looked dominate and Taz recovered nicely from a bad game in Cleveland. 

The Red Sox just ooze so much charisma from the 2013 team this year and yesterday's game was a perfect example of it. They just never gave up. They always kept fighting at every pitcher and even when down 7-2, they kept grinding. It's also the unlikely heroes to step up and respond big like in 2013. Brock Holt, or should I say the GOAT, had an insane night. He went 2-4 with a solo shot and clutch grand slam. He made the game more interesting to watch and brought all the fans into it after Donaldson's grand slam. His grand slam brought us back only down one run in the 6th, 7-6. Then the next inning later we were leading 8-6 after a clutch single by Hanley. Hanley doesn't look pull happy and seems more comfortable hitting the ball over the place, which is great. Another day another game where the Red Sox bats are saving these shitty Red Sox pitchers from a loss.  

Farrell has made a great call so far by going with Holt and Shaw (the backups) this season. Combined they are 10 for 21 with 7 runs, 4 XBHs, and 8 RBIs. Who would have thought that Holt would come alive this season. He is showing how he needs to be an everyday player this season and not just against righties. I wonder what player will step up for us next and provide us with that clutch hit? 

Final: Red Sox 8 - Blue Jays 6
