I'm wondering how they'll manage to blow tonight's game.

Are you serious. Our bats are already chilled.

I know they have a roof on that stadium. I wonder if they have heat as well. It was chilly there last night and I didn't notice anyone wearing coats or other cold weather gear.

It was closed last night. Box score says 68 degrees and roof closed. I'd imagine the same today.

Kind of funny how Eck was saying the players think the ball isn't carrying this year. This hasn't seemed to be a problem for the Jays.

Cora is back on the bench tonight per reports. Maybe, maybe some mojo for the players.

markj · April 27, 2022, 08:20:28 PM

Diekman with another chance to blow a lead.

elktonnick · April 27, 2022, 08:25:28 PM

Well at least Diekman did not walk the leadoff batter.

elktonnick · April 27, 2022, 08:36:31 PM

Cora learned from Venable's mistake and did not allow Diekman to pitch to Springer

markj · April 27, 2022, 09:13:02 PM

JBJ with a sweet catch in the bottom of the ninth.

Sox had a real chance to take this series, but at least they won't get swept. Nice to see some offense again.

Sox have just one series win so far this season.

Piitching was superb. Could have been a shutout except for bobbles by Story. He is a natural at SS, 2B is troublesome. Big night for Bogey. 6-9 holes are giving us next to nothing.

Story and Dalbec seem to be costly liabilities in the field. Maybe if they had acquired Story sooner than a week before the season (and then he missed a bunch of time) would have helped. Dalbec is playing himself out of a job. He and JBJ simply can't see the pitches. Dalbec swings at anything out of the strike zone and then lets stuff go by him right down the middle. Seriously wondering if the kid needs glasses. That was the case for me in high school and all of a sudden I could hit again.

Dodged a bullet with the bullpen last night IMHO.
