Anytime we get two-out hits and they don't, a lot of times that's the difference in the ballgame. Boomer stranded some guys. That's winning baseball.
More Quotes from Terry Francona:
I think everything's fine (with Ramirez), but we'll need to check on him in the morning.Terry Francona
The ball, just when he throws it down, guys just swing and miss or they hit grounders. He's in a little bit of a tough spot with us. We have a very full, veteran staff but we certainly like what we see.
Terry Francona
It looked like at a certain point in the game, he started hitting all his spots. And add to that, when you get a lefty in our ballpark on a day like (Sunday), where there is so much contrast with the brightness, it gets tough.
Terry Francona
He didn't let them spread it out (after falling behind 5-0). As far as he goes, I think he looked more confident. The velocity of his fastball is fine. Executing it and throwing his other pitches, I thought he got a lot better.
Terry Francona
When he's really good he pounds the strike zone and stays out of the middle of the plate.
Terry Francona
He's played through a lot. But he's been very productive and scored runs. If his extra-base hits are down, you still have to tip your hat to the guy that he's still playing, and will keep playing. I think he's hit some balls hard right at people. Then he'll get hot, and get a bunch of extra-base hits.
