Been waiting outside the clubhouse for an hour. John Farrell is not respecting my time.

So, Mark Reynolds has been handing off the lineup card before every game of this win streak.

The Red Sox clubhouse is a lot smaller than you'd expect for a major league team.

I'm surprised they didn't expand it when they renovated the park. At Wrigley, they're tripling the size of the Cubs' clubhouse (granted, it's the size of a shoebox right now though).

I took a tour of the Rangers club house when I was younger and it was massive. Probably because Fenway is an older park which is why it's smaller? Cool you got to go to Fenway though, Chud.

Guys, with a bunch of teams battling for the AL East crown when the calendar turns to September, Marcus Stroman is going to make his triumphant return and lead this Jays team to glory.

I'm starting to think the Red Sox will not be one of those teams.

Can someone explain to me how an ivy league educated manager that's been in baseball for his entire life can still manage to screw up using his bullpen so badly night, after night, after stinking night?

Baseball smarts and book smarts are two totally different things. Just my 2 cents.

There are a lot of managers who can't manage a bullpen. A lot of managers just go for their gut or use a small sample size as a reason why somebody should get the call. And sometimes their bullpens just suck, and it limits their options.
There are a lot of bad bullpens in baseball right now, and a handful of very good ones. I'm glad my team has, at least for the moment, one of the good ones.

Talk about surprises, the Twins have won 8 of 9 and are 16-7 since starting the season 1-6.
