Day game after a night game, not surprised today.We've been seeing more of Wong than I expected so far, wonder if McGuire's playing through something?
Day game after night game too... I also think they're just trying to get Wong's bat going.We've been seeing more of Wong than I expected so far, wonder if McGuire's playing through something?
Nicely done!Game 6
A mid-day mid-week baseball game
is hard to watch, but just the same,
when things are not quite going right,
it’s just as hard to watch at night.
The Sox have dropped to 2 and 3.
Are we what doubters said we’d be?
A mediocre middling squad
who’ll fall short of a playoff nod?
It’s far too early to lose heart
as Kluber gets his second start.
There’s optimism to be found.
(He can’t be worse this time around.)
Let’s start a streak this afternoon
and make the critics change their tune.
Mitch Keller is pitching for PittIs Duvall hurt? Why would he sit?
Says nothing about Duvall. He needs to sit because it's a day game after a night game?See post 9
It's the first week of the season. They're giving Tapia and Chang a start to give them some at-bats.Says nothing about Duvall. He needs to sit because it's a day game after a night game?
Understood, but he's been tearing the cover off the ball (last night notwithstanding, but no one except for McGuire hit last night). I understand not pulling one of the lefties from the lineup, but I'm wondering why they wouldn't just sit Turner and let Duvall DH.It's the first week of the season. They're giving Tapia and Chang a start to give them some at-bats.
Because Turner is hitting well too? Sometimes a day off is just a day off. Wasn't there a concern this winter about Duvall's durability if he's playing CF every day? Giving him a day off his feet seems like prudent routine maintenance.Understood, but he's been tearing the cover off the ball (last night notwithstanding, but no one except for McGuire hit last night).

SeasonKluber's only at 87 MPH on the 4-seamer? Gonna be a long day
Is that bad for an opening day starter?Kluber gets DFA'd before June at this rate.
Would guess never for Walter. He’s already 26 and got shelled in his first three AAA starts.How soon until Bello and Walter (and Whitlock) get called up?
Not soon enough. The current rotation is awful.How soon until Bello and Walter (and Whitlock) get called up?
Naw, Pete Gammons guaranteed us last year Walter is the best prospect you never heard of!!! (I think)Would guess never for Walter. He’s already 26 and got shelled in his first three AAA starts.
Soon on the other guys. Believe Whitlock could be back next week, right?
I bet an Andrew Jackson that Gammons knows what he’s talking aboutNaw, Pete Gammons guaranteed us last year Walter is the best prospect you never heard of!!! (I think)
It’s a Wednesday afternoon, mid/low forties, before the start of big holidays for both Jews and Christians. Not surprisingLooks like plenty of good seats available.
Why aren't you there?Looks like plenty of good seats available.
I can't speak for him but I don't think Work from Home policies extend to working at Fenway.Why aren't you there?
I missed the AB. What happened?Taking a batter violation in an RBI situation... Nice one.
