Can't wait to see todays lineup !!  BRAVO for Cora putting DALBEC at 3rd last night !!!  I didn't see the game , any report on how DALBEC did at the plate & in the field ?????  GO SOX , SATURDAY 4:00 BASEBALL IS ALWAYS GOOD !!! thumb_u thumb_u

[Sea Dog 23]

Tough to sit a hot hitter like Dalbec in favor of Shaw and JD who is slumping.  I’m now have a favor of playing the younger guys more, especially those ready to break out.  At some point they’re going to give 2B Nick Yorke a look, maybe as soon as late ‘22.  He’s batting .400/.667/1.067 in A ball and could have a brighter future than Downs who is slumping bad this year.  I think Yorke just got a call up to AA for coffee.  This is his first pro season after minors elected not to have a 2020 season because of covid.

I like JDM hitting third and not fifth and I like Devers hitting fifth and not second.  Duren is our future leadoff hitter and it would be great if he could show some of his leadoff talent today.

[Sea Dog 23]

Good to see the top of the order coming out to make a statement.  Schwarber with a bomb, then JD and Bogey  in on the action.

[markj]

Eovaldi giving it all back in the 2nd. 2 runs in, one out so far.

[markj]

Cy Quantrill is shutting down the Sox.

[Sea Dog 23]

Nathan has gone 97 pitches.  One out in the 6th after a double. His time is short.

[markj]

This ump has a ridiculously large strike zone.

[markj]

7 LOBsters so far.

[markj]

Vaz gets a double and then Munoz comes in to pinch run. Is it the speed factor or is Cora afraid Vaz will run into an out for the umpteenth time?

[markj]

Swing for the fence. That's all they know.

[markj]

JD heard me saying he's not clutch, so today he proves me wrong. 3-run dinger to put the Sox up 5-2 in the tenth. I'll go heat up some crow now.

Been a while since he's been clutch. Need him to come around.
