I did not realize that the Sox have not made an E so far this season. One thing I have noticed is that Nunez in the early going has limited range on each side. That knee has taken its toll in the field it seems.

I wonder if the wind is blowing in from the outfield today. Hanley just hit the 6th or 7th warning track shot this game.

Or maybe their "launch angle" is too high.

JD gets his 1st of many HR to LF. Which is not his power ally.

Offense is back in town.  Raffy joins the HR club.

Nice to see the first one, NOW, he only owes us 158 MORE to match the 159MIL CONTRACT !! thumb_u rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl

I guess the secret is to have Porcello get off to a lousy start and then the bats just tee off?

Kept the ball down in the zone all day after the 1st.

Rays are about to throw in the towel on this one. Bringing in a position player to pitch.

I don`t get leaving Porcello in.Cora has preached since day 1 of his signing that he will try to keep SP fresh.So he leaves Porcello in with a 10-2 lead. The rookie manager is puzzling at times.

Bill-806

Not sure why Porcello is still in there....With the score & the COLD, I would have whoever is coming off the roster Sunday (for e-rod) pith the last two innings..... iono iono

markj

Despite the shaky start, a good outing for Porcello.
