Yikes...was Liriano really that good today or did the Sox hitters just make him look like he never had Tommy John surgery? Most disconcerting thing from this start was the low number of walks given that Liriano walked 5 in 6 innings against the White Sox in his first start of the season, and this Sox lineup is built around being patient (save for new guys like Beltre and Cameron).
BTW, guys at mlb.com, your video player is broken. I just queued up the highlights from today's Red Sox game and hit pause so it would load up while I was taking care of something for work. When I came back and unpaused it, the player went ahead to (what I assume was) the next highlight of the Marlins game. Speaking of bugs, how about the three errors from the defense today? I give Bill Hall a pass on the ball he flubbed in center (although now that I look up his defensive stats, he actually played 130 games in CF for the Brewers in 2007). That being said, the errors weren't the problem today, just no hitting or patience (less than 100 pitches thrown by Liriano in 7 innings).
Hopefully the Sox were just eager to get home for this weekends' series against Tampa Bay...
