Liveblogging Game 121 (Innings 4-6)

Top Four

Hamilton gets jammed, grounds out to second.

Bradley walks.

Byrd lines out to third, two out.

Boggs grounds out to end the inning.

No worries, mate.

Bottom Four

Crisp flies out.

Drew flies out.

DP flies out.

Top Five

Davis grounds out.

Lester is simply gliding.

Salty grounds out.

Metcalf sneaks a double into the left field corner.

If you're going to give up a double, two outs none on is a good time.

Kinsler strikes out swinging to end it.

Lester is making guys look silly up there.

Bottom Five

Ortiz pulls a single through the shift.

Youkilis pulls a ball past the leftfielder to the Wall for a two bagger, Ortiz to third.

Jason Bay walks.

FArmer Jed slams a double off of the scoreboard, scoring 2 runs.

8-0 Boston.

Nobody out.

Dustin Nippert is on to pitch for Texas. Nippert, a West Virginia native, pitched for Arizona last year, and so far in the majors, has shown no ability to get hitters out. Baseball Prospectus says, "Nippert`s a big boy who can pump gas in the 90s, but he has a reputation for being a nibbler, as well as someone who has problems repeating his delivery and retaining his command."

They are intentionally walking Casey to bring Varitek up.

As Sutcliffe says, did he not trust Mendoza to intentionally walk Casey?

Varitek grounds into a force out, and then Crisp flies out to medium center. They send Lowrie,(?) and Hamilton guns him down at the plate to end the inning.

Top Six

Young singles.

Hamilton strikes out.

Bradley strikes out.

Byrd grounds into a FC.

Kid is CRUISING.

(Time out. Marlon Byrd is your number FIVE hitter? Wha? 298 with 8 homers? )

Bottom Six

Jason Ellison takes over in right field for Hamilton, Byrd moving to center.

Drew takes Marlon Byrd all the way to the center field wall, but Byrd runs it down for an out.

Pedroia beats out an infield single to third.

Ortiz hits into a FC.

Our Man Youk lines out to right.
