Blanco is on FIVE days rest and only threw 73 pitches last outing -- hopefully this bodes well. This Boston lineup is tougher than the first one he struggled against with the addition of O'Neill. . .
Hopefully we find a way to win without Abreu. He's young and strong, but he's leading the league in GP (62 games of 124) -- that's literally an 81-game pace. Hader has also pitched the TWO consecutive days. SEVEN innings from Blanco would be awesome, but I'd take SIX right now. Gonna need some some unusual suspects from the bully today.
Cora is the best in all of baseball at picking up tipping stuff… bet he found something. Mound visit needed.
