Sox need to get Sale a win tonight.
Sox need to see Sale pitch like a true ace. Price was great against a top MLB club Sunday. Time for Sale to shine against a mediocre hitting team.
I just don't want to see another 1-0 loss.
How about taking the HEAT off of BENNI & switch him with HOLT in the ORDER ??? iono iono iono iono iono
Well at least Beni hits in the #2 spot. I'm not sure Mookie has had a hit since he started hitting leadoff.
A little bit of a slump for Mookie and Beni. .270s and
250s.
Bases juiced, one out. Need another run or two. No GIDP!!!
Chavis K's. Becoming a habit.
JBJ with a bases-clearing double. Now 6-0. Finally more clutch hitting.
Bradley is most productive when he goes to left.

2 for 18. Great job by Cora putting him there.
Raffy goes deep for a solo dinger. NESN missed it because they were in their idiotic repeated commercials. I've seen that stupid shaving commercial a dozen times tonight. I think next year I'll buy the full MLB package just so I can watch anyone but NESN.
Chavis finally gets a hit.

Terrible !!
Bases juiced, one out again. Leon goes warning-track deep for a sac fly. Sox up 8-0.
Sale still cruising. Let him finish it out. Save the BP.
Chavis K's while looking at 3 strikes and fouling off one.
Serious gem by Sale. Complete game shutout on 101 pitches with an immaculate 8th inning. Superb. And the Sox finally gave him some run support.
Great game all around. On to Thursday afternoon.
Yankees blow a 7-4 lead to lose again 11-7.

They're all struggling with the strict 2 minute breaks. But I agree on the NESN spots, first of all, they run the same spots all season (thankfully that Jordan's furniture promo is over), secondly, they take too long to start them up and then they run into the game.
Great game by Sale though!
If you have the full MLB package as I do, the commercials are all the same. While we watch the Sox broadcast on NESN except when the Sox play Baltimore Philadelphia or Washington because of blackout restrictions they run the same two or three commercials constantly. From time to time we watch a non Sox game such as the Yankees or Rays and the commercials are the same.

Well that sux. I don't get the point of running the same commercial dozens of times. It just makes me want to avoid whatever it is they're advertising.

Are those the only teams that get you blackout restrictions? We get them for DC and Baltimore (DC is 7 hours away!), Atlanta - 4 hours, plus Cincinnatti and Pittsburgh I think. I believe both of those are much further than Baltimore. It's really dumb, but fortunately most of the teams are NL teams and we don't play them often.
Yes We now live in Delaware. For some reason we are considered in the Baltimore/Washington and Philadelphia local broadcast areas. We get MASN so we watch their feed but we are SOL when they play Philly

You can't get the Philly feed on MLB? I can always get the away feeds because I get the local sports channels package.
We can only get FIOS and they don't offer it.
I get Direct TV. Can you get them online though? With my Direct TV MLB subscription I also get the online MLB subscription.
I haven't tried but I probably could but it is only a few games every couple of years.
