Since the riots folks are avoiding down town Baltimore and the Inner Harbor. We won't go anymore.

BTW Nunez blows another play at second. Nunez out of position again, Palmer and Thorne the O's broadcaster criticize his play.

This rookie pitcher for the O's is stymieing the Sox thru 4. Sale has to pitch a shutout.....

Mookie seems to have healed.

JD was out at home, but we got the call. It was a terrible throw too!

Schloicka · June 13, 2018, 04:53:21 PM

Nice job by Workman coming in with runners on 1st & 2nd and no outs keeping the damage to 1 run. He faced 3 hitters and got 3 outs.

Bill-806 · June 13, 2018, 05:33:12 PM

A little hiccup for two but for the vast most part we can't complain about today unless you said, Oh no, here we go again when the Orioles made a little noise with two out in the ninth inning. Two bombs and we finally gave Sale some run support even if it took a few innings to get it done. Question????? Can Nunez play in the outfield at all? It would help keep his bat in the lineup because I think he might start getting hot and the weather heats up. He rested Moreland today to give him a breather but that's fine with me as long as the next guy he rests is Bradley who had another 0 for 4 today and is down to 181. You know how shitty you have to be to be hitting 181 by the middle of June? Come on DD, overrule Cora and get this guy out of the lineup. This has gone way past far enough. In fact, try to move him somewhere in order to give our better players more opportunity to be in the lineup like Nunez, Holt and maybe give Swihart another good look which he still hasn't really gotten.

And good job Sale.

FINALLY - run support and a WIN for Chris Sale.
Today WAS a SALE DAY!

Sox win 5 - 1.
Sox sweep the Orioles.

Good day!

BoSoxFanNY · June 13, 2018, 09:27:48 PM

Thank you to the Washington Nationals -
they just beat the Yankees 5 - 4.

Sox should be back in first place in the AL EAST.

The Red Sox won and the Yankees lost.....Sounds good to me and how many times have we been able to say that lately around here? Not enough to suit any of us. A very good day. thumb_u rofl ;D thumb_u

SO WEIRD the standings.
The SOX are one game ahead of the Yankees,
yet - statistically, because the Yankees have played
6 fewer games, they are above us by percentage points
Yanks .683. SOX .681

We just need to keep winning!
A good day indeed Fred!
