So the mystery of the day, is Duran making his debut against the righty?

So the mystery of the day, is Duran making his debut against the righty?

I know how he must feel , remember it well, my first game in little league , CIRCA 1955 !!!! rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl

So the mystery of the day, is Duran making his debut against the righty?

He is indeed.

[Sea Dog 23]

One of the writers reported Bogey tweaked his left wrist in his last at bat Friday.  Will sit tonight.  Cora also said Devers and JD will each get a rest day in next couple games. The Sox are on a 16 game stretch with no days off, probably why Houck was activated and two field players deactivated.

[markj]

Eovaldi showing some control issues tonight. Back-to-back HBP. The rain probably is bothering him.

[markj]

Out of the inning, anyway.

[markj]

Duran with a hit on his first major league pitch.

[markj]

Oh well, that one run lead wasn't going to last forever.

[markj]

Three check-swing K's for the Sox tonight. That last one by Vaz hurt with bases loaded.

[markj]

Sawamura must not like playing in the rain. Gives up back-to-back dingers. The way the Sox offense is tonight, that should be the game. If they stop for rain now, it's all over.

[markj]

This game is heading south quickly. They should just call it before someone suffers a serious injury.

[longgame]

Yankees pulling out all the stops, attacking the LF, fan reaching over the wall, now this fiasco in this rain.  This game should have been stopped earlier this inning.  Guys clearly cańt pitch in this slop.

[longgame]

This game is heading south quickly. They should just call it before someone suffers a serious injury.

The score doesńt count if they call it before the end of an inning.

[markj]

At least the Rays lost, so status quo there.
