Strange that the Sox haven't posted lineups yet.  Is something brewing?

I just put the Sox lineup in.

I see Moreland is not in the order vs. a RH pitcher (Chavis at 1B).  I also fall for conspiracy theories.

[longgame]

Two first basemen on the bench? Interesting.  Nothing on Rotoworld but I have to think something is up. 

[longgame]

Did just see this though:

Brock Holt is over his eye ailment but has returned to Boston to have a right shoulder injury examined.
Holt had been on the shelf with a scratched cornea but evidently must have hurt his shoulder while on his rehab assignment this past weekend. He had been slated for activation soon, but now that's obviously up in the air.

[Bill-806]

Interesting lineup...… The roster needs a SHAKEUP, now GRASSHOPPER !!! iono iono iono

[Sea Dog 23]

ERod is in a deep hole in the 2nd.  The bats are quiet at the wrong time.

[Murph]

Seriously!!!!
Bats have been silent since opening day.

[longgame]

Another one not looking good.  I’ve been trying to watch the Mets game too because my daughter is sitting right behind home plate!

[longgame]

Big opportunity with that error, lets see if they can make them pay.

[Sea Dog 23]

Sox have put up a crooked number.  6 runs.  JBJ strikes out to end the threat.  Same ole same ole.

[longgame]

I think JBJ started and ended that inning.  They were on track to ending the third straight inning with a GIDP but the error opened things up. 

Sure nice to see them playing like they should, so far anyhow.

[Murph]

Only way they score a bunch is if they are a gift. 6 runs on errors.

[Sea Dog 23]

Cora wants one in the win column.  Brought in Brasier to bail out Workman in the 7th  and then work the eighth.  Barnes has to bail Velazquez' almost disaster in the 9th.
