Bosox Board

Got the NESN broadcast okay,  Missed the first inning fireworks.  Even Dalbec came up with a hit tonight.  Good for him. 

Sox get on the board early with a couple homers.  Henry Davis is catching for the Bucos.  Back in the draft a couple years ago, Pirates picked Davis in the first round after passing on Marcelo Mayer who was available.

Still missing O'Neill, and we get Refsnyder.  He did have 6-7 stitches from the collision with Devers.  I think I read that he broke his sunglasses against his face.  Devers out again.

I think Pittsburgh is, or at least used to, claim Charlotte as home territory.  Let's see...

Since they really don't have a team right now I may not watch anyhow.  They need a coach who is the Andrew Bailey of fielding.

At least we were happy Wednesday evening after a great performance by Tanner Houck and the defense didn't crash and burn as before.  They waited until today (Thursday) to return to their usual sloppy ways.

7-3 road trip followed by a 3-7 home stand. Isn't supposed to work the other way around?

Sox pitching has done so-so, not Houck good, but enough to keep you in the game.  We're losing the game because of Reyes and Hamiton's sloppy fielding.  3 unearned runs.  The FO needs to address these holes.  Grissom is on rehab for 2B, but he has missed all spring training, and who knows what product he is.

Valdez, Hamilton and Reyes, oh my!  And a bullpen game to boot.  Wong at DH.  O'Neill and Raffy out.  Basically it's Duran and Casas and hope someone else can get a hit.
