Was like a spring training game with this makeshift lineup.  Like taking your B team on the road to Bradenton.  Somehow they got some timely hitting, even Dalbec in the action. The defense is still erratic, tonight Rqphaela.  I think they have 20 errors in 21 games

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?
