Red Sox Manager John Farrell: I Have Cancer
“We as a group have been walking around with a heavy heart today”.
“We had just about every emotion you could possibly have”, Lovullo said, “topped off by the dugout”. The guys did that for John.
Farrell plans on returning next season for spring training.
Before exiting, Castillo smashed a two-run homer in the first inning, and he singled and scored during the third inning.
The Red Sox are in last place in the AL East with a 50-64 record.
“I’m still working through it, I’m not quite where I want to be”, Lovullo said. “Getting that news earlier in the day, you realize it’s hard and puts everything in perspective”. Also, the throw to second would’ve beaten Bogaerts touching home plate, so the inning would’ve been over without any Red Sox runs.
Down 9-1, it was only a question of how many more runs the bullpen would allow and how much the Mariners would lose by.
“I came out and asked the team: ‘Where’s Farrell at?,'” he said.

Once the game got out of hand, the only item of interest for the Mariners was whether Nelson Cruz could extend his hitting streak. Some perspective on a legend and a fall: Montgomery was 4-2 with a 1.62 ERA through seven starts after beating Oakland on July 5 in his first outing following those two dominating shutout victories. “We know he’s going to get through this”. “Just get healthy, that’s most important”.
“It’s really not hard to analyze”, manager Lloyd McClendon said. “I’m glad we’re going to go through there in a few days, because I’d like to see him”.
Boston poured it on in the third with a two-run double by Pablo Sandoval and a two-run homer by Travis Shaw. 522 with nine RBIs in the last six games. “His neck is fine”. The Red Sox were planning on promoting him to manager, but Toronto snuck in first, offering Farrell a three-year contract to be their manager starting in 2011. Rusney Castillo would leave the game after fouling a ball off his foot, and is in for X-Rays. Hernandez is 8-3 with a 3.21 ERA and 108 strikeouts in his career against the Red Sox. He exited the game with Ryan Hanigan on second and Jackie Bradley Jr. on first base. It’s the organization that originally signed him – in November 1992.
