The 2012 All-Star Futures Game rosters were announced by Major League Baseball on Thursday and we find two former members of the UConn Huskies baseball program represented on the US roster.

Bethel, CT native pitcher Matt Barnes, of the Boston Red Sox organization, and Branford, CT native third baseman Mike Olt, of the Texas Rangers organization, were chosen to represent their respective clubs in the game.

Barnes started his 2012 season off with the Greenville Drive where he went 2-0 with 0.34 ERA (1 ER/26.2 IP) in five starts. He was then promoted to Salem where he is 5-1 with a 1.37 ERA in eight starts. Combined between the two clubs, he is 7-1 with a 0.99 ERA.

Olt is tearing up the Double-A Texas League with Frisco RoughRiders. In 67 games, Olt is hitting .308 with 20 home runs, 58 RBIs and four stolen bases.

It’s definitely a great honor for both of these players and more than likely an even prouder moment for UConn baseball coach Jim Penders and the baseball program.

The rosters for the 2012 All-Star Futures Game were released on Thursday and two members of the Boston Red Sox minor league system will represent the team in the game on the Sunday before the 2012 MLB All-Star Game.

The 14th annual Sirius XM All-Star Futures Game can be seen live on MLB.TV, ESPN2 and ESPN2 HD on July 8th at 5 p.m.

Former UConn Huskies pitcher Matt Barnes, currently playing for the Salem Red Sox, and shortstop Xander Bogaerts, also playing for Salem, have been selected to represent the Red Sox. Barnes will play for the US team while Bogaerts will play for the World Team.

Barnes started his 2012 season off with the Greenville Drive where he went 2-0 with 0.34 ERA (1 ER/26.2 IP) in five starts. He was then promoted to Salem where he is 5-1 with a 1.37 ERA in eight starts. Combined between the two clubs, he is 7-1 with a 0.99 ERA.

Bogaerts has spent the entire 2012 season with Salem. In 66 games, he is hitting .293 with nine home runs, 42 RBIs and three stolen bases.

Other Red Sox players currently on the big league roster who have participated in the game are Josh Beckett (2000 as a member of the Marlins), Adrian Gonzalez (2001 as a member of the Marlins), Aaron Cook (2002 as a member of the Rockies), Carl Crawford (2002 as a member of the Rays), Kevin Youkilis (2003), Clay Buchholz (2007), Jacoby Ellsbury (2007), Franklin Morales (2007 as a member of the Rockies) and Will Middlebrooks (2011).

For at least today, the Boston Red Sox are no longer a last place team thanks to their 15-5 butt whopping of the Miami Marlins coupled with the Toronto Blue Jays losing on Wednesday.

We have seen this before and it didn’t last long. Hopefully this time things are different and we watch the local nine climb the standings instead of yo-yoing back and forth between last and fourth place.

Felix Doubront was facing the Marlins for the second time in as many starts and like Clay Buchholz the previous night, the Marlins figured him out but not enough to cause as much damage. Sure Doubront gave up four runs in his six innings of work but the offense got him 13 runs while he was on the mound.

Since Daniel Nava was called up, he’s been a catalyst when he’s in the lineup. The Red Sox didn’t play that bad while he was out with hand injury but in making his first start last night in a while, he responded with four hits atop the lineup.

Ryan Kalish, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Kevin Youkilis and Mike Aviles all had two hits. Both David Ortiz, Cody Ross and Will Middlebrooks made their one hits count.

Ross’ bases clearing double in the 3rd inning pushed the Red Sox lead to 6-2 after Mike Aviles had made it 3-2 good guys in the 2nd with a three-run blast. Big Papi put the game out of the reach in the 4th with a grand slam and that followed two batters later by Salty’s solo home run.

Middlebrooks came in as a defensive replacement for Youk and made his one at-bat count with an absolute laser no-doubt two-run homer in the 8th.

If the Red Sox clubhouse is “toxic’, it definitely didn’t show last night. There were smiles all across the Red Sox dugout last night.

When things are going well for the Red Sox, they are undoubtedly one of the better teams in the league. What they need to do now is sustain what’s been happening over this four-game win streak.

As you saw, the starting pitching hasn’t been great. But the offense and bullpen have picked them up. And that’s what makes a successful ball team.

After taking a 7-5 win last night, the Boston Red Sox look to take the series tonight in the middle game of a three-game set with the Miami Marlins at Historic Fenway Park.

First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. and will be broadcast on NESN in the Red Sox television market. If you live in the Marlins television market, you can catch the game on Fox Sports Florida. If you can’t catch the television broadcast, you can always listen to it on the Red Sox radio network.

Felix Doubront looks to keep the Red Sox above .500 in his 14th start of the season. In his previous 13 starts, Doubront is 7-3 with a 4.17 ERA. His lone career start against the Marlins came his last time out when he picked up the win after allowing two runs over seven innings one week ago.

Ricky Nolasco will try to get the Marlins back to .500 in his 14th start of 2012. In his previous 13 starts, Nolasco is 6-5 with a 4.37 ERA. He was matched up with Doubront his last time out and took the loss after allowing four runs (three earned) in six innings of work. Overall in his career, Nolasco has made two career starts against the Red Sox and is 1-1 with a 3.27 ERA (4 ER/11 IP). He picked up the win in his lone Fenway start after allowing one run in five innings of work.

Just when it looked like the Boston Red Sox would get out of the basement after their third straight win, this one being a 7-5 win over the Miami Marlins, the Toronto Blue Jays rallied for two runs in the 9th to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 10-9.

Nonetheless, the Red Sox are still playing decent baseball and that was evidenced last night when Clay Buchholz, who’s been pretty dominant of late, wasn’t at his best. Fortunately for him, the offense had has back with three home runs.

Buchholz had a rough start to the game, giving up a two-run homer to Logan Morrison in the 1st inning. Actually, it was LoMo who responsible for the five runs Buchholz gave up in his six innings of work.

LoMo’s RBI double in the 3rd cut the Marlins deficit to 4-3. His two-run double in the 5th tied the game up at 5.

When the Red Sox and Buchholz faced the Marlins back in Miami last week, it was LoMo who hit a home run for the only run Clay allowed in the win. The good thing for Buchholz is that his batterymate last night, Kelly Shoppach, owns Marlins starter Mark Buehrle like LoMo owns him.

After David Ortiz had tied the game up in the 1st with a two-run blast, Shoppach came through with a two-run blast of his own that pushed the Red Sox lead to 4-2. After LoMo’s RBI double cut the lead to one, Cody Ross returned to the lineup with a solo home run to push the lead back to two runs.

The Red Sox got the lead for good in the 5th when Giancarlo Stanton robbed Adrian Gonzalez of extra bases. But it did bring in a run when Mike Aviles tagged up and scored. They added an insurance run in the 6th when Will Middlebrooks doubled in Kevin Youkilis.

The bullpen picked up Buchholz as they have for other pitchers since late April.

Matt Albers worked 2/3 of an inning striking out one with Andrew Miller finishing off that inning. Vicente Padilla came in and allowed one hit but retired the side without incident. And Alfredo Aceves, who had a rough time his last time out, struck out two of the three batters he faced to pick up his 17th save of the season.

In regards to what the media is reporting about the Red Sox clubhouse being toxic (the players denied it as you’ll see in some of the links below), how much of this are we supposed to believe. While I do think there’s a little discourse, I think the media is overplaying it to get readers or hits for their website. Sure no one on the Red Sox is going to come out and say there is but from the outside you don’t see it.

The Red Sox have had 19 players go on the disabled list and the players who have come in have done a great job and seem to have fit in well.

I guess the only way we’ll ever find out is if one of the players leave the team.

We’ll be back later with today’s lineups, batter/pitcher matchups and links from the day. So for now, let’s take at look at the overnight links from the media by clicking on the read more button below if you’re on the home page.

The totals for the 2012 MLB American League All-Star Ballot came out on Monday and things aren’t looking good for the Boston Red Sox to have more than one starter.

I missed the totals last week but for the third straight week, David Ortiz finds himself at the top in the balloting at DH. He leads Michael Young of the Texas Rangers by about 500,000 votes.

Not including the outfielders, the only other position player from the Red Sox in the top five of the balloting totals is Dustin Pedroia, who is in third place at second base. He trails Ian Kinsler of the Rangers and Robinson Cano of the New York Yankees by 1.25 million votes.

Jacoby Ellsbury is the only outfielder in the Red Sox in the top 15 and he’s 14th about 1.35 million votes behind Jose Bautista of the Toronto Blue Jays for third and final starting spot in the AL outfield.

Honestly, given the up and down season for the Red Sox, I’m not expecting them to have a lot of starters. What I am disappointed in is that only three players from the team are in the top five or 15 (outfield only).

Have we fallen that out of love with our team that we can’t show them any love in the voting?

I guess it goes without saying that we, Red Sox Nation, need to get ourselves together and vote our boys into the 2012 MLB All-Star Game. So what are you waiting for, get voting people.
