Seattle batting practice. Yet another dinger. Sox down 8-2.

I think Sale only went 5 innings in that game mainly against Pirates guys wearing very high numbers on their backs meaning they weren't their best.

You could be right.
AND yes, he was not pitching against a starting MLB lineup.

The Mariners have about the same amount of hits - their hits have home runs.
Sox have left 7 men on base.

NOT a good start to the season.
Really disappointed, especially with the way the game started.

Sox eke out another run courtesy of an RBI double by Vaz.

Maybe they can do better against Seattle's BP now.

Was just thinking that Velazquez didn't do too bad and then he loads up the bases with one out. Hembree coming in. I am not hopeful.

It looks to me that the couple of games that Seattle played got them up to game speed while the Sox are in extended spring training.

I’m surprised Sale got in 9, I wasn’t sure he had thrown a third time.  Certainly not ready.

How Hembree.  Gasoline, meet fire.  Yikes.

Hembree walks in a run on 4 pitches. Ugh. Useless.

It isn't just the pitching but the Sox are playing sloppy baseball.  This team simply does not look ready for the regular season.  I know they lost on opening day last but they started last year with a mission.

BOTH teams have 10 hits
AND the Mariners made the best of their hits.

Mariners 10 - Sox 4

YUP!
They didn't look good in Spring Training.

AND last year they looked great in Spring Training
and took off in the regular season.

Hopefully, we can check this off as one bad game . . .

Side note on Sale .Staring 2018 like the way he finished last 3 months of 18 and we know how terrible that was.

Thornburg gives up a 2-run dinger. Why on earth is he still on the roster? He has *never* done well in a Red Sox uniform.
