Porcello, makes his first 2019 debut in the finally of the four-game set in Seattle. The right-

liner this past Monday, but he was OK and remained in the game.

WADE LEBLANC, LHP, 0-0, -,- ERA

The soft-tossing lefty will make his first debut against a Red Sox team he held scoreless on
two hits over 7 2/3 innings with a season-high nine strikeouts last June in Seattle even though he
lost the following week at Fenway.

Looks like the "OLD SHAKE up" of the lineup ??? rofl rofl rofl

Murph · March 31, 2019, 01:55:25 PM

Beni a little dinged up I guess after fouling a pitch off his leg last night. Travis getting chances due to Pearce on the IL. Bats and pen doing the job but the starters badly suck big time.

Sox on the board quickly. 1-0, one out in the 1st.

markj · March 31, 2019, 03:21:27 PM

Bases loaded thanks to Mariner screw-ups. But two outs now. Can't waste this chance.

markj · March 31, 2019, 03:24:58 PM

Sweet. Nunez drives in two runs. Sox up 3-1.

Murph · March 31, 2019, 03:28:34 PM

Nunez plates 2.Looking good so far as it looks like his knees are much better than 2018.
Here comes the bad part so far as the SP has been a disaster. Maybe Porcello can change that.

Is this the first time we're ahead in four games?

They were up 2 runs early in the game Sales pitched, but that didn't last long.

markj · March 31, 2019, 03:58:32 PM

Dammit. Porcello had 2 outs and a batter down 0-2, then blew it. Now it's 3-2, Sox and the inning continues.

markj · March 31, 2019, 03:59:13 PM

Out of it. But that sudden inability to keep the ball out of the dirt cost them two runs.

First three games we led in two innings. The Sale game 1st and the 9th in game we won.

markj · March 31, 2019, 04:18:36 PM

So much for the lead in this game. Another lousy start.
