Betts with the day off. Pearce/JBJ/Leon looks like an 0 for the bottom of the lineup day too. Could be a tough one, need the good Porcello today.

White Sox are throwing a bullpen game. I'm amazed that they can pay guys so much now to pitch 5 or 6 innings on a good day yet so many teams, including the Sox, can't come up with a starter about once a week now.

Pitchers duel today so far. 2-1 Red Sox into the 6th.

Schloicka · May 05, 2019, 03:18:06 PM

Schloicka · May 05, 2019, 03:43:32 PM

2-2 going to the 8th inning.

Xander with a granny. Game over. Sweet.

Schloicka · May 05, 2019, 04:12:39 PM

9-2 Red Sox going to the bottom of the 8th inning. Porcello pitched well for 6 innings. Workman in line for the win pitching a scoreless 7th. Go Red Sox.

Schloicka · May 05, 2019, 04:22:33 PM

Walden pitched a scoreless 8th for the Red Sox. On to the 9th with the Red Sox up 9-2.

I winced when I saw that lineup. Resting your stars when you're under .500, wow. But it worked today. Bogey with the leadership.

Schloicka · May 05, 2019, 04:47:54 PM

Red Sox win 9-2. Win the series 3 games to 1. Workman with the win today. On to Baltimore tomorrow.

Sox take series and the starters are now pitching the way they should have and would have had the had a proper spring training.

Regarding the White Sox, that was one of the worst performances by a manager in a short series that I have seen in years. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't the first manager fired this year. I can't imagine the White Sox pitchers are too happy with him either.

YES, big victory today as the "FAKE SPRING TRAINING" is OVAAAA !!! thumb_u

I though the same thing. So many times he either did nothing or the wrong thing. Really bad managing of a really bad team,

Pick up another half game on Tampa Bay who had their game postponed. The Yankees look like they may hold on and beat the Twins for their second win against a team with a winning record.

Time to make upbsome ground, Next two series, O's are 4-6 last ten. The Mariners are coming back to reality at a paltry 3-7.
