Now, to fully understand what the Red Sox Strut is, it means to have reason to walk with a confident, proud air around you. Some people mistake it for vanity, arrogance, or being pompous. This incorrect assumption is not what we mean. The Strut is about knowing that your deeds showed off your amazing skills to the baseball-loving public.

On the road again for the Red Sox as they went to Baltimore and Toronto. The only significance is the Red Sox attempting to (1) get out of last place and (2) be disruptive to Toronto as they battle you know who for the division. In Toronto it was another series lost to the Red Sox as Boston went north and took two out of three.

At this point of the season the lineup is in a constant state of flux as interim manager Torey Lovullo attempts to get some early input of questions that will need to be addressed in the off-season. That said, you will see players brought in that are more reminiscent of a spring training game. Expect pitchers to be shuffled around – especially the bullpen and the daily line-up to see some fresh faces.
