I'm naming my first child Jackie Bradley Jr

Red Sox don't have the starting pitching to win games this year. Is there anyone formidable after Price? Red Sox still have Panda on the team. How will Hanley handle first base? What is going on with this Rusney guy? John Farrell is on the hot seat. I miss Don. 

All those statements and questions were brought up as the Red Sox were starting the season and they were all fair points. We still don't have the consistent starting pitching to win games, but David Price hasn't figured out his shaky mechanics yet and E-Rod is not back. Wright and Price have been all star caliber pitchers so far and deserve all the credit. Wright has pitched himself into a permanent spot in the rotation and Pretty Ricky, Wow. Panda is injured and off our team for the rest of the season, thank god. Hanley looks like a gold glove caliber first baseman and looks very comfortable. He's happy and it shows. Rusney is no where to be found, but this Brock Holt guy is showing up big time. John Farrell is always going to be on the hot seat but with the record they have now, he's safe. I still miss Don but Dave is not that bad. 

Through 34 games, the Red Sox have the same record as they did in 2013 at 21-13. Can you say Gold Bottles? I believe in this team and see it all around. The Red Sox have had a historic three game sweep of the A's. It's the first time in Sox history that they have scored 13+ runs in three consecutive games and it looks like they ain't slowing down anytime soon. They are tied with the Cubs in all of baseball for runs with 197. Yes, that's the best team in baseball Cubs. They have the best run differential in the AL with +38 (and going up after this game). The Sox have 5 players hitting over .300, FIVE. That's insane. The Red Sox offense has got to the point where I don't even sweat if they give up 3 runs. 

JACKIE BRADLEY JR. This man is on a tear. He went 3-5 tonight with 2 home runs and 6 rbis, continuing his now 17 game hitting streak. He has now slugging .579 after tonight and passed the MVP, Mike Trout. He's hitting .322 with 6 HR, and 28 RBIs. 13 RBIS IN 3 GAMES!! THAT'S CRAZY. He has more rbis than Stanton, Machado, and Bautista to name a few. His hot streak in August last year does not look like a fluke. I am left speechless for your performance so far this season. Keep it up JBJ! 

Chris Young has finally been getting his at bats and it's starting to click. He went 2-5 with an rbi double and is now hitting .256 which is getting better. He went 3-4 yesterday and he deserves the credit for his hot bat. He seems to be in a rhythm now and I hope he can keep it up. 

Another great game for Bogey and Pedey. Bogey made a great diving play in the later innings to save a hit. He looked like a young Jeter during it. He went 3-4 and is sneakily hitting .328 on the season. His power is coming in and he's showing how last year wasn't a freak. Pedey went 1-4 with a 2 run ding dong and should be up for the comeback player of the year. He's hitting .306. 

Pretty Ricky was not on his game compared to other starts this season, but he was really good. He went 6.2 IP with 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, and 5 SO. His ERA went up to 3.11 and he's now 6-1. He's backing his words up when he said that last year was really not like him and how he really was badly injured and damn is he right. 

Red Sox stay rolling.

Final: Red Sox 13 - A
