Looks like the magic bullet is to start White at 1B. Just don't DH the big boy.

So, Smoltz watches Springer and Brantley hit balls off of the wall for a triple and a double, and says "This is a good way to show just how good these Boston outfielders are!"

if I'm not mistaken, that is an in-game ERA of 135.00 for Velazquez.
Compare with White's pristine 0.00 ERA. I rest my case.

Brewer's longest outing was last year, at 38 pitches. It will be interesting to see how long Cora lets him pitch today.
Brewer is from Canton, Texas, about halfway between Tyler and Dallas.

"a bit of a stagger"
Hey that Carolina barbecue White ate yesterday has to get worked off somehow.

good grief Martin throws two strikes in a row and can't get a call
anyway better for him not to razz the home plate umpire

Martin having control issues.

this umpire is basically telling Martin he has to throw the ball over the heart of the plate to get a strike
what is a rookie pitcher to do

Need an out Martin.

I don't think he's getting pinched that bad. He's got to make some better pitches.

One run is good. Could have been so much worse. |

Well, Stassi didn't do his job and allowed the Redsox to get a run.

Stassi gave up the run on a passed ball. Martin won’t be in long at this rate.

Let's just hope Martin calms down and pitch like he has been doing.

Correa's throw was a lot more impressive than White's catch there, but White isn't too shabby at first defensively.
I believe he is starting rate higher than Gurriel on 1B defense.
If White can step up and handle 1B proficiently while Altuve and Aledmys are out, that would be huge
