Game 127: Sox 0 Walker 4

Not a good start. Rangers really have our number this year. We obviously didn't send our best lineup out there but the difference in this game was that the Rangers' offense was efficient and ours wasn't. If you're gonna hit a home run, it better be of the three-run variety type. If the ump blows a call and everyone is safe, you better take advantage. The Rangers did it and we didn't.

Bedard pitched another game where it seemed like he was good enough to win but just couldn't get the run support. His only mistake was a 3 run shot by Napoli with two outs and two strikes in the bottom of the 6th. Albers looked shaky again loading the bases before weaseling his way out of it. Morales did a good job of throwing strikes, getting 2 Ks.

At the dish, the Sox were missing punch. Only four hits on the game (Gonzalez, Pedroia, Lowrie, and Crawford) and they were all singles. Lavarnway did a great job of being patient working two walks. Nice to see from the rookie. But we've got to do better tomorrow. Hopefully good Lackey shows up. I have my doubts though.
