RAYS V RED SOX

THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 2018, AT 2 PM AT FENWAY PARK

TV:  NESN, FOS SUN SPORTS, MLBN, (OUT-OF-MARKET ONLY )

TAMPA, 1-4.............................................................................BOSTON, 5-1

TAMPA:

YVONN, CHIRINOS, RHP, 0-0, 0.00 ERA

It will be a bullpen day for the Rays, but it will also be the first big league start for
Chirinos, who allowed just one hit in four scoreless relief innings in his April 1 debut vs
Boston.  The 24-year-old was primarily a starter in the Minors.

BOSTON:

DAVID PRICE, LHP, 1-0, 0.00, 5K

Coming off a vintage effort in his first start of the season (seven shutout innings),
Price now gets the honor of starting the home opener.  He will face the same (Rays)
as his last start.  Price is 17-5 with a 3.12 ERA lifetime at Fenway.

1-2-3 for Price who surprisingly is hitting 94 on the gun right from start.

Base running ??????   AGAIN, aggressive or dumb ????  This has to be  about the 7th+- runner to try and make a base when the ball is still close enough to the catcher ???  AGRESSIVE or COACHES ?? iono iono

Alex, I'll take COACHES for $100.

[Rob from Mass]

That was all on Beni.

[Rob from Mass]

Windblown triple for JD as Kiermyer had trouble and ball skips off the top of glove.

[Rob from Mass]

JD on 3rd with no outs and no one can bring him in.3  groundouts.

[Schloicka]

JD on 3rd with no outs and no one can bring him in.3  groundouts.

Should of scored on the Xman ground out but JD didn't read it well so stayed put.

[Bill-806]

Must be more $$$$$ in making outs than getting HITS ?? iono iono

[Sea Dog 23]

Another team in this division scored 18 runs (11 and 7) vs the Rays the last two days.  I know it's early and there's a different pitcher, but could be a slight measuring stick of the offense.

[Rob from Mass]

Severino and the Yankees staff must be licking his chops waiting to face the hitless wonders aka the Red Sox.

[Rob from Mass]

This is Chirinos's second major league game and the Red Sox have not scored a run and have just three hits though 5 innings.

[Rob from Mass]

The incomparable Sergio Romo and his blazing 84mph  issues a BB and  gets 2Ks against the worthless bats of the Sox.
