Tough pitching matchup.  Rodon has had a very good year, but is coming off the IL.

[longgame]

Let's see how far Houck can go and how far Cora lets him go.

[longgame]

Sale tested positive and won't pitch this weekend.

[markj]

Sale tested positive and won't pitch this weekend.

Argh!

[SeaBeachFred]

Sale tested positive and won't pitch this weekend.

Argh!

The Red Sox front office was AWOL on this vaccination  thing.  Why the hell didn't they make sure the players got the injection or were kept away from close proximity of those who were?  It would have been hard to keep them fully segregated but there could have been some precautions taken to make sure this cluster#$%& didn't happen.

[longgame]

A lot of them including Sale apparently are vaccinated and Sale had it before too.  Of course you can test positive, be vaccinated and not be sick, but you have to wonder why they can't contain it since other teams that had outbreaks seem to have them all in a day or two and then it was over depending on the cases.

Just frustrating in context with everything else that's frustrating about the Sox.

Interesting interview on WEEI yesterday with Renfroe,  a sloppy interview but maybe Renfroe wanted to leave early and not take follow up questions.

"Red Sox OF Hunter Renfroe on team's COVID issues:

"MLB basically told us to stop the testing and just treat the symptoms. We're like "No. We're gonna figure out what's going and keep this thing under control.""

@LouMerloni
: MLB asked you to stop testing?

Renfroe: "Yes."

MLB followed up on the interview and said that what Refroe stated was totally false.

I know several people who had a false positive

Wonder what his & others symptoms where/ are ??????   More homemade chicken soup & jingling beer is good for the system !! There is more to this stuff that meets the eye !!! iono iono

[Sea Dog 23]

In addition to Bogey being activated, also pitchers Darwinzon Hernandez and Kaleb Ort were called up.


Jonathan Araúz was optioned. Austin Davis goes to paternity list.

[markj]

You could see that one coming. Oy. Red Sox down 3-0 and Houck is still giving up hits.

[markj]

Vaz bails Houck out of that jam by gunning down a runner at 2B.

[MongoLikeSox]

The MLB site says Arauz was put on the 10-day IL. Nothing else mentioned anywhere.

[markj]

Iglesias with a really bad looking error.
