1st batter: Broke Jacoby Ellsbury’s bat on a 95 mph fastball.
2nd batter: Dustin Pedroia flies out on the first pitch, 95 mph.
3rd batter: Gets David Ortiz to pop up on a 96 mph fastball, after getting strike 1 looking on a 95 mph heater.
A very impressive debut for Melancon, and he couldn’t have thrown more than 5-6 pitches, so hopefully he’ll get another inning.

If Melancon and Robertson are what we are getting from the system this year, we are in bad shape. Don’t get me wrong, I love Melancon, but if 2 set-up guys is the best that the farm is doing to help the big league club, it’ bad, specially after 3 and a half years of Cashman’s renovation proyect.
