The Lasershow is Back

After a rough night of pitching for Kelly, the thing the Red Sox needed the most was consistent starting pitching and they got that. It was a rough three innings for Porcello but after the third he was lights out. Bautista was his nemesis and everyone else was nothing to him. He had trouble getting his sinker to sink and left everything up in the zone and he was a few better swings away from being down 6-0, but he fought back. Pretty Ricky ended the game with 6 IP 7H 4R 4 ER 1 BB 7 SO and is now the first Red Sox pitcher not named David Price to get a win! 

Pedroia's resurgence in this game was just what the Red Sox needed. He was the Red Sox player that stepped up big time just like the brockstar did yesterday. He went 3-5 with 2 rbis and was the kick starter to the offensive explosion. Pedroia also showed his grit and grind, making a great defensive play to keep the Jays from gaining momentum. He always puts 100% into everything he does and it showed today. His jersey was dirty and he did anything he could to win the ballgame. He is the heart and soul of this team.

The two big Red Sox pick ups last year, Hanley and Panda, had very opposite games. Hanley had a 1 hit game but it was a very big hit. He hit a ball that took a weird hop off the turf and skipped over Bautista's glove in right. With some heads up base running, he got a triple. He then scored in the next at bat after a wild pitch by Dickey. He seems to want to run more and is very aggressive on the base paths. I can't wait to see more of this. I love seeing a happy and healthy Hanley play. I don't love seeing a fat ass panda play. Pablo Sandoval went 0-4 with 3 strikeouts, 1 walk, 1 error (of fucking course), and 1 exploded belt. He looked terrible at the plate and his belt agreed with it. He took a big swing in his first at bat and that was when the belt came undone. I guess it wanted to leave his body because his fat was choking it. It's a sad life for his belt but once he gets back to his home on the bench, it'll be fine.

Rusney Castillo had a good game and is trying to prove his worth on his team. You can tell he does not want to stay on the bench and is trying to earn a starting spot by playing well in any advantage he gets. He was 2-4 with 1 run. The bullpen was also lights out after the 7th with 3 strikeouts and 0 earned runs. Robbie Ross Jr was a beast and I think it's safe to say he'll be competing with Price for the CY Young.

Final: Red Sox 8 - Blue Jays 4
