General consensus of #RedSox : All pitchers use something, everybody fine with it. Just can’t be so obvious about it. Farrell has no choice
by Joel Sherman via twitter 4/24/2014 3:16:25 AM
For what worth #Yankees handled this well, admitted pinetar, said embarrassed as org that it happened, said Farrell acted as should #redsox

Pineda: "Yeah, it's pine tar"
by Red Sox via twitter 4/24/2014 3:15:32 AM
Lackey on the Pineda incident: "That Yankees lineup is pretty good; they gave me plenty to think about."
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/24/2014 3:07:59 AM
Farrell, if Middlebrooks could be activated tomorrow: "Nothing's been decided."
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/24/2014 3:06:57 AM
HP ump/crew chief Gerry Davis: "it was pine tar."
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/24/2014 2:59:26 AM
Alex Wilson going back to Pawtucket.
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/24/2014 2:58:20 AM
Nieves if concerned RedSox Ps might be checked: We're safe in that aspect, nothing to worry about.
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/24/2014 2:56:40 AM
Alex Wilson optioned back to AAA by #RedSox . Makes room for activation of @ShaneVictorino
by Red Sox via twitter 4/24/2014 2:47:22 AM
RECAP: Lackey dominates, tosses 8 innings with 11 Ks in #RedSox victory over Yankees. atmlb.com/1mG84TD http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bl9FFUICYAE83IG.jpg

#Yankees : Ellsbury 8,Jeter 6,Beltran DH,McCann 2,Soriano 7,Teixeira 3, Gardner 9,Roberts 4,Johnson 5 + Pineda 1
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 8:31:20 PM
Mets mgr. Terry Collins mentioned Daisuke Matsuzaka as a potential closer. There’s a second pitcher named Daisuke Matsuzaka?
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 8:27:07 PM
Also of note from Farrell: #RedSox now see Grady Sizemore as a corner OF. So JBJ is the CF
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 8:24:21 PM
Farrell said, as you would expect, that #RedSox hope to carry the extra reliever just one day.
by Red Sox via twitter 4/23/2014 8:15:35 PM
Farrell "We need to execute to a greater level, bottom line. We expect that, our players expect that. We've got to execute to higher level."

Ivan Nova will seek a second opinion on his partially torn UCL; the MRI will be sent to Dr. James Andrews.

In today's Daily News: My column on Derek Jeter, who was happy just to be taking field again at Fenway Park nydn.us/1lD4kP0
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/23/2014 5:21:08 PM
Ryan Dempster just said on MLBN comparing Fenway and Wrigley is like comparing Robert Redford and Paul Newman.
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 5:12:04 PM
Following up on the @LouMerloni report, #RedSox summon Alex Wilson: bostonglobe.com/sports/2014/04…
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 5:10:26 PM
Count out Daniel Nava at your own peril. Guy has overcome a lot more than a slump. #redsox
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 5:03:50 PM
#RedSox likely to keep the extra pitcher one day then activate @ShaneVictorino on Thursday. @middlebrooks could return from DL on Friday.
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 5:02:47 PM
Alex Wilson (@WillyWilson18 ) thus far in AAA: 8 games: 8 4 0 0 1 9. Last pitched on Monday.
by Chad Finn via twitter 4/23/2014 1:00:11 PM
Here's 50-41, if you missed it yesterday. Read it for no other reason than the Rick "Tall Boy" Jones ridiculousness. boston.com/sports/touchin…
by Chad Finn via twitter 4/23/2014 12:57:50 PM
Nos. 40-31 on my top 50 Sox prospects project is up. Had a really hard time figuring out where to slot Pedroia. boston.com/sports/touchin…
by Joel Sherman via twitter 4/23/2014 12:53:00 PM
#Rockies 12-10. Remember: since CarGo arrived in ’09, Col 219-197 (.526) when he/Tulo start, 179-238 (.429) when injury-plagued duo doesn't

From bit.ly/1lDETkO 2d inning of Tanaka’s 2d GS to 6th inning of 4th GS hitters were 0-43 with 2 BBs, 24Ks when reached 2 strikes
by Kevin Millar via twitter 4/23/2014 12:35:52 PM
My uncle Wayne Nordhagen sent that to me... Who played 7+ years in the show and is who I looked up to as a young boy coming up the ranks!
by Kevin Millar via twitter 4/23/2014 12:26:58 PM
"Every team could use a player that never strikes out, never makes an error and is always hustling. "BUT" their is no way you can tell him
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 3:00:29 AM
Looks like the #RedSox will call up a pitcher for Wed. Nava could be optioned or put on the DL. Then Victorino comes back Thursday.
by Nick Cafardo via twitter 4/23/2014 2:44:14 AM
Farrell said Red Sox may have to make a pitching move instead of activating Victiorino because bullpen has been taxed
by Red Sox via twitter 4/23/2014 2:29:55 AM
FINAL: Yankees 9, @RedSox 3.
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/23/2014 2:29:06 AM
Game over. #Yankees 9, #RedSox 3. WP Tanaka, 3-0. LP Lester 2-3.
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 2:28:58 AM
Yankees win, 9-3. #RedSox fall to 4-7 at Fenway … Also 1-4 against the New Yorkers this season.
by Mark Feinsand via twitter 4/23/2014 2:28:32 AM
Ballgame over. Yankees win. (12-8)
by Red Sox via twitter 4/23/2014 2:20:08 AM
Nice grab by Nap to end the top of the 9th. He'll lead off the bottom 9. Fenway faithful sticking through the rain and the score.
by Dave D'Onofrio via twitter 4/23/2014 2:18:09 AM
Tazawa working 3rd time in 4 games because every other RP except Koji had pitched either Mon or Tues. Another side effect of short starts.
by Mark Feinsand via twitter 4/23/2014 2:15:51 AM
Girardi already picked Nuno, so mine doesn't really matter. RT @dbpga who is your pick to replace Nova?
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/23/2014 2:15:37 AM
Yankees with 15 hits, ties most allowed by #RedSox Ps this season 9-inning game, 4/18 Orioles.
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 2:11:20 AM
This is a big waste of an appearance for Tazawa.
by Jon Shestakofsky via twitter 4/23/2014 2:11:08 AM
This is Mike Napoli's 17th game with multiple extra-base hits as a Red Sox, tied with Mike Trout for the MLB lead since the start of 2013.
by Mark Feinsand via twitter 4/23/2014 2:06:16 AM
Betances comes in and gets both Pedroia and Ortiz looking at strike three.
by Dave D'Onofrio via twitter 4/23/2014 2:04:27 AM
Does 1-for-26 qualify as an injury? #sizemore
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 2:02:39 AM
Tanaka in his four starts: 2 walks, 35 Ks over 29.1 IP
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 2:00:40 AM
Sizemore now 1 of his last 26. The bloom is off the spring training rose
