Game 20
Kluber got Klubbed. (It’s his usual fate.)
His ERA is now well above 8.
Valdez debuted with a couple base hits
and spotty defense (so he kinda fits.)
We're 9 and 10, but there is still plenty
of season left. (It’s only game 20.)
Let’s just tread water until we get hot.
We’re only 2 games from a playoff spot.
It’s Fenway’s birthday and it would be grand
to gift it a win to end the homestand.

Every game thread starts off with enthusiasm high, but my confidence level is about at π.

Wong seems to be the starter at catcher, no? I guess this could be day game after a night game but definitely seems like he’s winning that role.
Probably the latter
Dude’s batting .077, I would want that mojo far away
His OPS+ is actually negative, you don’t often see that
He's had kind of a rough start at the plate, but McGuire's pretty much a known quantity, and I think they want to see if Wong can find his stroke. His splits in Worcester last year were pretty even-- still hit .290 against righties with reduced power. If they can get him, Casas, and Yoshida going, that's a pretty terrifying lineup
I believe that title's been bestowed on Fletch ... but something in that vein is certainly warranted
Yep - per the MLB website:
| 04/20/23 | Boston Red Sox activated SS Yu Chang from the paternity list. |
| 04/20/23 | Boston Red Sox optioned 2B Enmanuel Valdez to Worcester Red Sox. |
| 04/19/23 | Boston Red Sox placed SS Yu Chang on the paternity list. |
Many years ago, my wife gave birth to my daughter on the Sunday before Patriot's Day. I'd been attending the Monday Sox game for close to 15 years at that point and she asked if I was going that year. Not being an idiot I told her I wasn't planning on it. She told me to go anyway because "what are you going to do, sit in this room so we can stare at each other all day?"
Ehhh he's a solid guy even outside of a hot streak like this. If you can extend him at a cheap rate he is an OF spot.
That 10th inning walk two nights ago might be the thing we point to as what got Casas going. Walked twice yesterday with no Ks, works another walk here and he's stopped chasing at bullshit.
Next step is he gets some meatballs to hammer.
