GAME #23, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 2018, RED SOX AT TORONTO BLUE JAYS

Sox manage to hang on. Streak snapped.

[Schloicka]

Good pitching again and just enough offense. On to Thursday.

We got back on the winning trail tonight by a whisker but we all should be relieved, but we need to win this series to get back home with a little momentum.  This time it might be good for Cora to give a couple of guys a day off because it looks to me like they are pressing.  How can a good hitting team suddenly turn so cold all of a sudden?  Good that at least two of our guys were hitting tonight but we need five or six doing that.

Good day for Boston sports. Not so much for Toronto. Sox win over the Jays and Bruins send the Leafs packing for the season.

Mookie was essentially a one man show tonight.  Good job by our pitching, too.  I'll take it.

And, yep, thrilling win by the Bruins. thumb_u

Great to see ANOTHER APRIL victory... 18 & 5 certainly is more than we all thought capable..... Keep it going....  Would like to see BENI BICEPS go on a tare, (no pun intended) thumb_u rofl

[Sea Dog 23]

Good timely win. We need ERod to steady the bottom of the rotation.  But it's hard to maintain .900 baseball.   sigh  To put things in balance the WS champion 'Stros just dropped 2 of 3 at home to LAA.  Things do tend to balance themselves out.

Rodriguez pitched in a way that he basically never has before: 44 percent 2- or 4-seam fastballs, the lowest percentage of his career, with heavy use of changeup, cutter, slider

As DAD would say, "SON, good things happen when you keep the other team off balance" !! thumb_u
