Ortiz Should Bunt
David Ortiz is up with two on after two singles. He should bunt here because it's obviously going to be a close game. :-)
Update: Ortiz doesn't even square up, and Westbrook gets him to swing and miss at two pitches on his hands. One out for Ramirez.
Update: Ramirez hits a hard grounder right at Peralta, but the ball takes a giant hop when it hits the lip of the infield and goes over Jhonny's head. Pedroia scores from second and the Red Sox lead 1-0. They are 3 for 3 putting the ball in play tonight.
Update: Make it four for four as Lowell lines a single into left to load the bases for J.D. Drew.
Update: Another rally killer double play as Drew bounces the ball up the middle to Peralta. Interestingly, Westbrook got the two lefties he faced, but the four righties each collected a hit. During the regular season, lefties hit Westbrook better than righties.
