NEW YORK -- Boston manager John Farrell says he isnt troubled by having three left-handed pitchers in his starting rotation.All-Star Drew Pomeranz, acquired from San Diego on Thursday night, joins fellow lefties David Price and Eduardo Rodriguez in a rotation that includes righties Rick Porcello and Steven Wright.Fenway Park, with its 37-foot high Green Monster in left field, usually is kinder to right-handed pitchers.Its not a concern because theyre the best available pitchers that we have, Farrell said Friday. Sometimes the wall gives and it takes away, as well.Pomeranz is to make his Boston debut Wednesday against San Francisco in Fenway Park. The 27-year-old was 8-7 with a 2.47 ERA in 17 starts for San Diego this season and pitched a scoreless inning in Tuesday nights All-Star Game.This is a starter that we felt we needed to complement the guys that were here, improve our starting rotation, Farrell said. Its been interesting to see how Drew has evolved from last year to this year, just with his pitch mix and usage overall.Boston has added four players this month, also acquiring infielder Aaron Hill from Milwaukee, right-hander Brad Ziegler from Arizona and utilityman Michael Martinez from Cleveland.Pomeranz is to report during or after Saturdays game and throw a bullpen session Sunday. He has thrown curveballs on 38 percent of his pitches this year, up from 31 percent in 2015 and 27 percent in 2014, according to Brooks Baseball. He has thrown his new cutter on 11 percent of pitches this season.Originally signed by Cleveland in 2010 as the fifth overall pick in the amateur draft, Pomeranz was traded to Colorado in August 2011, to Oakland in December 2013 and to San Diego last December.This is a guy thats been traded four times, Farrell said, explaining his view of the history of left-handers. There is a long list that have come into their own late in their 20s, and Drew may very well be one of those type of guys.Farrell said reliever Junichi Tazawa, on the disabled list with right shoulder impingment, threw a 25-pitch bullpen Friday, has another session scheduled for Sunday and likely will be activated when he becomes eligible Tuesday.On another topic, David Ortiz laughed at the notion his comments this week that Boston should sign Edwin Encarnacion to replace him next season could be construed as improper.Tampering? I dont write no paycheck, Ortiz said. I can say whatever I want. Im not a GM or a team owner. If I say tomorrow that I want to play with LeBron James, am I tampering, too? Air Max 1 Outlet España .S.

Nike Air Max 1 Venta . -- Anaheim Ducks captain and leading scorer Ryan Getzlaf has been scratched from Sunday nights game against the Vancouver Canucks because of an upper-body injury. OAKLAND, Calif. -- Steve Kerr had never seen it quite like this in his two seasons as coach: Oracle Arena emptied in a hurry with more than five minutes left, and not because the Warriors were way ahead. This time, they trailed big.It was very strange, Kerr said Wednesday. Ive not felt that in two years as a coach. I think we were 78-4 at home the last two years. ... So basically the only reason fans would leave is if we were ahead. It was a weird night all the way around. Were not used to that. Were not used to losing at home, much less losing by 29 points.A day after that embarrassing 129-100 defeat to San Antonio in the season opener that sent a sellout crowd flooding the exits early, the film showed all the flaws of the Warriors most lopsided loss at home since falling 130-97 to the Lakers on Nov. 28, 2009.I didnt have our guys ready to play, Kerr said. That was apparent on the tape.Yes, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and the Warriors team considered almost untouchable took a pounding at the hands of Kawhi Leonard -- he had a career-high 35 points -- and San Antonio. And it might be the best start Golden State could have asked for to take some pressure off before hitting the road for a tough stretch.The Warriors will be away four of the next five games, beginning Friday in New Orleans. Their only home game over the next nine days is against Durants former Oklahoma City Thunder next Thursday night -- another cant-miss game on the schedule. That starts a back-to-back concluding with a matchup against former top assistant Luke Walton and his new Lakers team in L.A. on Nov. 4.With such a star-studded lineup, Golden State certainly will now be villains instead of fan favorites outside of Oakland.Thats all right, maybe that will motivate us, Kerr said. This stretch of games is good for us, probably good to get out on the road, bond a little bit and get our game going.KD was impressive in his Warriors debut: 27 points on 11-for-18 shooting, 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and twwo steals in nearly 37 minutes.dddddddddddd But Splash Brothers Curry and Klay Thompson struggled to connect from long range with any accuracy, their team went 7 for 33 on 3-pointers overall, and the Spurs outrebounded Golden State 55-35 . The Warriors committed 16 turnovers that led to 17 points for San Antonio.It felt like not that we were going to show up and win but if we just show up and play semi-hard were going to win. Thats not the case in the NBA, said Thompson, who was 1 of 6 on 3s. Not against a team like San Antonio. It was a good wakeup call for us. We realize its a long season and we dont want to peak in November, December. We want to peak in May and June.For those keeping track, Golden State has dropped four straight games dating back to June. The Warriors squandered a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals and lost Game 7 to LeBron James and the Cavaliers, missing out on a repeat championship.Im sure the story tomorrow will be KD broke up the chemistry and we cant win with KD and all these other things, which is going to come with the territory, Draymond Green said after Tuesdays loss. Were looking forward to that. We already know thats coming. At the end of the day, its one basketball game. Whether we lost by one point or 30 or 40, its still one game.Kerr fully expected it to take time for his All-Star roster to mesh , yet even Tuesday was a surprise that everything was so out of sorts.The main thing was we didnt look ready to play from the beginning with the effort and intensity it takes to win an NBA game, he said. Weve spoiled ourselves in some ways the last couple years. Weve dominated our home floor. I felt like we kind of expected that to continue, but we were playing one of the best teams in the league that executed like crazy, like they have for many years. And we looked like a team with a lot of new guys trying to figure out where to go. ' ' '
