Red Sox scored another win against the Indians 11-6 last night. Clay Buchholz gets to pitch the last regular season game this afternoon, # 162, as the Sox go for their 95th win & a sweep of Cleveland.
It's time to give Victor Martinez his due. Safe to say without Victor the Sox may not have gotten into the playoffs. He has thrived with his new team -- clutch hitting in the middle of the order & Youk-like by being able to handle catching & first base duties. His grand slam last night against his former team put some icing on the cake.
Unfortunately, Beckett was still not Beckett-like, giving up lots of hits & 4 runs in 5 innings of work. That's a concern to me. Last outing he gave up 12 hits. Not what you want from your ace going into the playoffs.
My buddy Gaff & I will do a podcast today to review the regular season & the Sox chances in the post-season. I still say we have as good a chance as any team to win it all.
