[Sea Dog 23]

Maybe the best predictable outcome … a rainout.  Heavy weather expected.

[markj]

Could we see back-to-back sweeps here?

It appears to be free on Apple TV+, but then you have to deal with the Apple TV crew. I may dump mlb.tv and go with streameast next year. I'm sick to death of the repetitive and idiotic commercials on mlb.tv.

First pitch leaves the park. Oh boy.

[markj]

How did Kike miss that tag?

[markj]

Another one leaves the park. Sox down 3-0.

[Sea Dog 23]

Hey, it’s a great night to sit Devers, our homer guy.  Meanwhile Wacha is getting torched.  A recurring nightmare in Boston.

I was listening to the game on the MLB app the other night while driving in NC listening to the Sox and Toronto.  They gave me political ads from Georgia!  Got some from NY a couple of weeks ago.

[markj]

Wow, guess I should have been paying closer attention to the game. 8-4? Zoiks. And a rare clutch hit from Xander.

[MongoLikeSox]

Damn! It's been a long, long, long, long time since we had base hits and more base hits and a couple bombs on top. Still some rally killing K's, but they're a little more forgivable when it's not ALL K's.

and Heidi - sigh!!!!!!

Wacha recovered well, eh!

[markj]

Man on 3rd and Xander at the plate. RBI probability is only 10% according to Apple TV.

[markj]

Brasier better stop filling the bases or this game could get close quickly.

[markj]

Earth to Cora!! Brasier sux. Get him out of there.

[markj]

Too late. Brasier is useless. Still no outs and now just a 1 run lead. WTF.
