Good series for the Phils, that was a helluva 8th inning yesterday

Sox coulda used some of that in today's 8th, couldn't get a hit with bases jammed

offense been struggling a bit since they left for Oakland, good time for a break.


Sox pick Marcelo Mayer with #4 pick

from the Globe



In the weeks leading up to the MLB Draft, there seemed just one certainty regarding the Red Sox’ choices at the No. 4 overall pick: Shortstop Marcelo Mayer of Eastlake (Calif.) High School would not be available.

So much for certainty.

In a startling turn of events, the Red Sox landed Mayer with their No. 4 selection on Sunday. The 6-foot-3 18-year-old features smooth defense at short and a gorgeous lefthanded swing that suggests both the ability to hit for average and power. As a senior, he hit .392/.555/.886 with 14 homers.

I take it you think it's a good pick?

Had Leiter also been available, would you have taken Leiter, instead?

I read 2 or 3 articles pre-draft, so they are just names to me.

I may have seen Leiter or Rocker pitch as I channel-surfed the college WS games.

But HS kids, nope.

LSS, no opinion.

Those that do, think the Sox picked the best position player in the draft.

The Angels canned their radio announcer after 4 months - mind you, a guy they had before. No word on why, but I loved this explanation from a fan:

It's a cost-saving move, they will replace him with Shohei Otani, who seems to easily play multiple roles.

Yanks get an excellent infield prospect round 1

Mets simply killing it this draft.

I do like the Florida outfielder Sox nabbed.

The National Anthem is awful.

And the closed captioning is worse.

"Land of the Flee..." OMG!

Shoh-time is over for the HR Derby.

A good thing, since he's pitching tomorrow!

He still had more than half the bonus time to go when he won. Just as he had more than a minute and a half left in the 2nd round.
