Not surprising and honestly doesn't mean anything since it's one start and he stinks anyway. Take another useless clown like Joba and make sure he plants one in Ortiz's ribs the next time these teams meet.
Sounds pretty much typical for the offense. I'm torn on this one, I'm typically not for hitting guys under most any circumstance, but a part of me really doesn't care if Alex gets plunked each and every time he goes up there until he acts like a man and stops the nonsense and takes some semblance of responsibility for his actions. He is really a disgrace to the uniform.
With the Red Sox having so many up coming days off the'll move the rotation around where he won't miss any starts. Which is total bullshit to me. You suspend a position player for 5 games & he misses 5 games. A pitcher should be suspended PER START not per game. Makes no sense.
