Feel bad for Chris and his family. This was supposed to be his big return and answer to the doubters.

It couldn't have gone worse unless he got hurt. Embarrassing.
That family will never need for anything. Their families and their children’s children neither.

They’ll be just fine.

Remember the days when we looked at the schedule and actually looked forward to playing the Orioles, or other last place teams......

Now it's us....

LOL if I was an Orioles fan I'd be pissed about the leadoff walk right after going up by 6 runs.
Then I'd calm down and realize the Red Sox won't be taking advantage of it anyway.

I don't mean to overreact to a one game sample, but trying to make him justify his paycheck is just fools gold at this point. If we're still looking like this into May with Whitlock, Bello and Paxton coming back, I wouldn't have any reservations about seeing if he's a better RP where his command problems may be obfuscated.

Anyone think Sale might be tipping? I was kind of shocked Mullins was able to drive that fastball above the zone in a 1-2 count where he would often go slider.

Reporters are going to get their money worth inventing new ways to give Sale credit for "owning it" after he gets lit up this year.

The ball is flying out of Fenway like it's August. Imagine how far they'll go when it actually is August.

I asked on opening day why kluber had to be awful instead of mediocre. I find myself asking the same of Sale.
