After stumbling out of the gate to a 4-9 start, the Red Sox (46-31) have turned their season around and are right in the thick of the AL East hunt, two games behind the first-place Yankees (47-28), exactly where we all should have expected them to be.

Dustin was not pleased, barking at Melancon as Posada escorted the diminutive second baseman to first. Here is what the principals had to say:

Lupica, as you’d expect, didn’t do any real analysis, just drawing parallels between the two players’ size and grittiness, so I pulled up the trusty Baseball Cube to try to see if there could possibly [...]
The Baseball Analysts has a fascinating post up about batted ball stats and fields of play. The writer has three lists showing the most productive hitters of 2008 when pulling the ball, going up the middle, or going opposite field.
