9-0 Sox after 5 innings.
What a difference a day makes. What did Yogi say about pitching? Winch brought his A game as did the two middle guys. Raphaela with some key hits today.
Feast or famine with these guys.
Hey Markj, a big eruption by our guys today with 17 runs a plethora of hits for a one sided 17-0 win. Not to sound cynical but it might have been a good idea to save about nine or ten of those runs for tomorrow. Well maybe our guys will show they can bat the ball around for two days in a row and win the series. That would be a swell way to end the series.
Sox might have got a hometown discount in the drop of 1B Garrett Cooper from the Cubs. Jed Hoyer and Breslow spent a lot of time togather in Chicago, and the deal only cost Red Sox some cash. Dalbec was hitting a cool .107, and I think Cooper is a lifetime .268 guy. Sox tried to get him when he was at Miami.
