I like Renfroe higher up in the order and Raffy further down. Flipping them I think gives them a better lineup.

Saw an interesting set of stats:

Since the July 30 trade deadline:

Kyle Schwarber: .339 with a 1.032 OPS
Bobby Dalbec: .338 with an 1.160 OPS

Joey Gallo: .139 with a .634 OPS
Anthony Rizzo: .250 with a .784 OPS

Schwarber is getting the hang of playing at Fenway. He and Renfroe were good gets by Bloom.

Plawecki with a bomb in the 2nd and good to see Lopez get in on the action. 2-0.

Duran put on vivid IL

Dingers by Schwarber and Plawecki and Jack Lopez gets his first hit which almost went out. Letâ€™s see some more long ball.

We might get another CF, Kike' is supposedly near 100% if the rulekeepers give him some slack on the 10-day.

Bases juiced, one out. Need some runs here. NO GIDP!!!

Sea Dog 23 · September 03, 2021, 07:06:06 PM

Just made a note. Bases juiced in the 3rd, 1 out. Nothing doing in the 3rd.

markj · September 03, 2021, 07:22:45 PM

Arauz gets that run back. Nice dinger.

markj · September 03, 2021, 07:57:20 PM

Ugh, was just thinking that it was good to see another pitcher going deep into a game. Rats.

markj · September 03, 2021, 08:17:09 PM

Attaboy, Schwarber. 2-run double. Sweet.

markj · September 03, 2021, 08:30:08 PM

Now Renfroe with a 3-run dinger. Suddenly this team is looking capable again.

longgame · September 03, 2021, 08:36:05 PM

They look like the first half Red Sox the last couple of days. LetÂ´s hope the bullpen doesnâ€™t blow it as no lead is safe with that group.

Brasier doesn't appear to have changed much. He's still having problems finding the strike zone.
