Marlins open roof for game against Red Sox

Posted June 11, 2012 on AP on Fox
TEAMS: Miami Marlins,  Boston Red Sox
The Miami Marlins' retractable roof is open for their game against the Boston Red Sox, a surprising development with South Florida's steamy rainy season under way. A high-pressure system brought unusually dry weather to the area, and half an hour before Monday's night game started, workers at the Marlins' new ballpark opened the roof, treating fans to clear skies and a balmy breeze. The game-time temperature was 79 degrees. It was only the fifth time the roof has been open this season, and the first since April 18. Team president David Samson said last month he expected the roof to be closed for the rest of the regular season.

Your Morning Dump...where Rich Hill visits Dr. Andrews.

Via Ted's Army  |  June 11, 2012
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said prior to Sunday's game that reliever Rich Hill, who was placed on the disabled list, has been dealing with tightness in his left elbow. Hill will see Dr. James Andrews...

Zambrano says he'll be ready for next start

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  June 10, 2012
Right-hander Carlos Zambrano insists he will be ready for his next start Friday in Tampa -- even though he was taken out of his start Saturday night with one out in the third inning because of lower back stiffness. Zambrano, who allowed seven runs in a 13-4 loss to the Rays, said he came to the park Saturday in discomfort but decided to pitch anyway. "I learned something...

Red Sox Can't Be Offering Excuses and Other Thoughts From Week in Baseball

Via NESN.com  |  June 11, 2012
The Red Sox were 28-26 when the finishing touches were put on last week's Red Sox 6-4-3. As we get ready to publish this week's edition, the club is now 29-30 after a rough week against a pair of Mid-Atlantic clubs. The Sox' 1-4 record this week against the Orioles and Nationals certainly hurt some of the momentum they had built up in previous weeks, and Boston is now...

Clay Buchholz' Inspiring Transformation Continues to Build Character for Red Sox

Via NESN.com  |  June 12, 2012
Editor's note: NESN.com is going to tell the story of the 2012 Red Sox in Bobby Valentine’s words. Each game day, we will select the best Valentine quote that sums up the day for the Red Sox. Clay Buchholz isn't making the AL All-Star team this year. He won't be winning any awards. And he likely won't even be appreciated for his contributions to a middling Red Sox...

Jarrod Saltalamacchia Returns as Other Red Sox Regulars Get a Seat in Final Game Against Nationals

Via NESN.com  |  June 10, 2012
After the Red Sox dropped their first two games against the Nationals this weekend, manager Bobby Valentine has tinkered with the lineup for Sunday's game. Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia is back in the lineup, but both Kevin Youkilis and Mike Aviles will take a seat. Adrian Gonzalez is shifting back to first base, and Ryan Sweeney and Scott Podsednik will take care of outfield...

Clay Buchholz Dominates Again While Playing 'South Beach Stopper' for Desperate Red Sox (Video)

Via NESN.com  |  June 12, 2012
The Red Sox needed a win on Tuesday, badly. Luckily, Clay Buchholz was on the mound. Buchholz delivered with his third strong performance in a row, ending the Red Sox' four-game skid with some style -- and some help from the baseball gods, for once. NESN Nation's Dan Duquette is giving Clay our "South Beach Stopper" award for another big game from the starter in...

Mark Melancon Glad to Be Back in Big Leagues, Aims to Be More Aggressive (Video)

Via NESN.com  |  June 11, 2012
It's been a while since we last saw Mark Melancon in a major league uniform. Granted, the last Melancon was seen he was giving up six earned runs without recording a single out, but after recording 20 saves and a 2.78 ERA over the course of 2011 with the Houston Astros, the right-handed reliever was known to have the pedigree to get the job done out of the bullpen. It's been...

Red Sox' Continued 'Irritated Interleaguer' Routine Wearing Thin, Risking Umpire Retaliation (Video)

Via NESN.com  |  June 11, 2012
The Red Sox offense is sputtering, and the frustration continues to build. On Monday night, the team once again directed some of that frustration at the umpires after a tough loss, and it may be reaching a breaking point. Warranted or not, it might not be the best idea to continue questioning the umpires, given that nobody likes being told they are bad at their jobs. The Red Sox...

Will Middlebrooks Not in Red Sox Lineup As They Reopen Road Interleague Play in Miami

Via NESN.com  |  June 11, 2012
The interleague play lineup shuffle is back for the Red Sox, and Will Middlebrooks is the first casualty, at least to open Monday night's game. The young third baseman isn't in the lineup on Monday night as the Sox open a three-game set in Miami against the Marlins. Boston will go up against Josh Johnson, and they'll do it with Middlebrooks on the bench while Kevin Youkilis...

Report: Jorge Soler Agrees to Nine-Year Deal With Cubs

Theo Epstein is no longer in the AL East, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have to worry about the Yankees anymore. He got the best of his old nemesis on Monday afternoon. Epstein and the Cubs have reportedly landed Jorge Soler, a highly sought after outfielder from Cuba, according to CBSSports.com. Soler and the Cubs have reportedly come to terms on a nine-year deal that...

BP Unfiltered: Back to Back to Back Lulz by Jason Collette

Everyone is familiar with Fred McGriff's endorsement of Tom Emanski's instructional videos that helped deliver back-to-back-to-back AAU titles in the early 90's. It is fine time those videos get an update because the content has become a bit outdated and struggles to keep the viewer's attention. One such creative thinker is Austin Kearns who realizes he is on the...

Red Sox' Constant Lineup Shuffle Gives Many Players Chance to Shine, But Could Be Hurting Production (Video)

The Red Sox have used 53 different lineups in their 62 games this year. That's a lot. Is all that lineup shuffling a good thing or a bad thing?

A primer on the 2012 Red Sox, or what you missed while watching the Celtics

Hey, I know how it is. It's March, and you get wrapped up in the NCAA tournament. And then the Celtics start magically returning to form. And the Bruins, despite every lazy second you watch them play, are still a favorite with the playoffs on the horizon. The Sox start slow -- really slow -- and your temptation is to spend your sports energy elsewhere. The Bruins provided...
