[Sea Dog 23]

I don’t see any O’s guys taking the day off to rest.  They are stoked.

[Sea Dog 23]

Shazam!  Dalbec with a 2-run blast and Franchy goes solo.  3-0 in the 2nd.

[Sea Dog 23]

The homer parade continues. Dingers by Raffy, Arroyo, Kike'.  Its 6-1 in the 5th.

Cordero is now batting over .280 and making a strong case for more playing time.

[markj]

JDM's battle with Diplan paid off with a walked in run.

[markj]

Another Sox slugfest. They're going to hit a 10 run/game average if they keep this up.

The other night Meatball Matt loads the bases with walks and then walks in a run. Valdez says, "Hold my beer."

[markj]

Bogie and Dalbec team up to blow a game ending DP and allow another run.

[Sea Dog 23]

Cordero is now batting over .280 and making a strong case for more playing time.

On the post-game show Franchy said Rich Gedman was the one who helped him improve his swing.  He's still the hitting coach at Worcester.  Man, if they could get him steady at .250/.260 and get Bobby up over .225 that would really give this team a boost.

[longgame]

What we know about this team so far is they can hit, but take some days off.  They have decent starting pitching and should let them go deep.  They have absolutely no bullpen, which every Red Sox fan has been screaming about since last year.
