Boston Red Sox: Sam Travis collects two hits in Major League Baseball debut

The Red Sox are 4-0 in Sales last 4 starts with 4 days of rest, 4-1 in Sales last 5 home starts and 5-2 in Sales last 7 starts. They ended the series with a 12-3 win over the Athletics. “So, not going to deviate away from that”, Farrell said. Fubo TV also includes a cloud-based DVR that will allow you to record sports and TV shows.

A key exception to the 24/7 live streaming rule is that live Boston Bruins games are now not eligible for streaming as the National Hockey League does not have regulations in place that allow for in-market live streaming anywhere in the United States.

Also in the Rosenthal piece is a tidbit about how Farrell didn’t even have the whole clubhouse behind him in 2013, in his first season as manager when the Sox won it all.

But Travis has been exclusively a first baseman throughout his minor league career, and the Red Sox have gotten solid production from veteran first baseman Mitch Moreland, who has homered in three consecutive games and leads the league with 16 doubles.

Long-term he projects as a first baseman/DH and I’ll stick with my pre-season projection that he can hit.280 with moderate power, with more possible eventually. Dave Dombrowski has been aggressive moving top prospects through the system before. If the team can’t turn things around in the coming weeks, John Farrell could be on his way out. Price could join the rotation next week. The plan entering the season was for Moreland to platoon at first base with Hanley Ramirez manning the position against lefties, but shoulder issues have limited Ramirez nearly exclusively to the designated hitter role. I think it’s pretty plain to see that this guy doesn’t command the respect of his players and he definitely doesn’t make sure they are ready to play everyday.

Nevertheless, his playing time during that period is still being determined. But, to give him a day off here and there, the team needed another option.

Boston Red Sox infielder Sam Travis is starting at first base Wednesday night against the Texas Rangers in his major league debut.

On Tuesday, a story published by FoxSports.com raised questions about Farrell’s command of the clubhouse and relationship with some players.

“I do not feel that in-game strategy is the biggest thing as a manager”.

“I was just up there, trying to get something going and get on base”, said Travis in his usual matter-of-fact way. “That means their club is playing hard”. They combined to walk four, all with two outs as the Red Sox scored four times.

“We sat down yesterday for over a couple hours”, Dombrowski told Caron. “He’s managed divisional champions”. “Not what we envisioned when the roster was constructed, at least with Hanley’s ability to go up there, but that’s not taking place”. We just really haven’t flowed as a club.
