Leyland said he has'nt yet talked to Austin Jackson, but was "real suspicious" that shoulder would be sore. More precaution than anything.
Austin Jackson is out more for a rest than anything. Leyland said he was sore when he left last night, so he gets a day off.


Leyland said he was "really encouraged" by Miguel Cabrera's condition yesterday.

Castellanos: "I'm just going to take everything in and I'm going to enjoy the ride."
Castellanos has said he's had an adjustment period, hitting-wise, at each level of minors. "It was still ongoing at Triple-A".

We can end the AL Central race today if we haven't already done so. Home field will be big in the playoffs, would love to have the best record in the AL.

Hope they can Win today and finish of the indians, because it's going to be very difficult winning in fenway.
those shithead fans in unfriendly fenway are right on top of you screaming profanities at the players and about their families. But don't do it to any redsox player or you will get tossed. double standard hypocritic f'ks here in boston.

Bit of an uphill battle with no Miggy or AJ, but in my mind the bigger issue is JV getting back on track.

I wish someone else was batting lead off over Dirks..but maybe he can do less harm there.

 

[spockmaster]

Aww, no Nick C today? I figured itd be a perfect day to give him a start with AJax resting.



Also, Dirks leading off? wtf. i guess we can just hope he has one of his few random good days at the plate.

 

[tigerfantroy]

Craig Monroe just said balls to the wall on pre game show. Lmao

Hopefully today is a good day. He hits .307 (31-101) in the lead off spot this year....only 2 walks though.

Quintin Berry called up by the red sox.

 

[johnny2x2x]

0-2 count then he walks him on 10 pitches. Just doesn't have the movement to get swings and misses like he used to.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Well that's something new.

JV gives up a leadoff walk.

Blacked out for me.

 

[johnny2x2x]

JV just can't put guys away. 19 pitches to record one out.

 

[coulomb]

This has got to be JV's twin brother. The real JV is in Maui banging supermodels.

 

[lonesometiger]

Now at 27 pitches,28,wow.This is unreal,29 one out two on! And were at 30

 

[johnny2x2x]

The stuff isn't still there guys, no movement.

 

[lonesometiger]

10 foul balls this inning? . 3rd out on 35 pitches/5 batters= 7 per AB ouch
