Got the "A" lineup in tonight other than Nunez sitting and Holt in at third. Hope Holt can hold his own on the defensive side and on the base paths. No mistakes tonight or they'll pay.

Kluber's gonna be REAL tough. Last thing we need after a hitting drought. :P

Porcello has to be his best pitching self.

So far, so good. Love me some 2-out runs.

Tito looks pretty healthy. I hope the issues he had last year are behind him now.

markj · August 20, 2018, 06:39:51 PM

C'mon, Porcello. Quit farting around and end this inning.

markj · August 20, 2018, 06:40:36 PM

That's better.

longgame · August 20, 2018, 06:50:03 PM

Nice start to this one so far. Good to see them coming out hitting.

markj · August 20, 2018, 06:51:34 PM

One more run in. Sox up 3-0.

Schloicka · August 20, 2018, 06:55:23 PM

2 out runs are great to get.

markj · August 20, 2018, 07:15:25 PM

Holt miss a sign or was that a missed hit and run?

markj · August 20, 2018, 07:23:59 PM

Oops. Cleveland on the board with that solo homer. 3-1

markj · August 20, 2018, 07:47:29 PM

An inning or two ago the boys in the booth were discussing how much better Porcello is this year about giving up home runs. Since then he's given up 2. Game tied at 3 now.

Biggest play that inning was being slow covering 1st by Porcello. Changed the whole inning. Lost his concentration on the hitter worrying about the runner.
