Ok, then, I'm puzzled.
If Sales fails to win this game due to non-support,
he will be irate.

What are you puzzled about? Looks like everyone who is healthy is playing. Basically the same players as yesterday except Vaz is catching instead of Leon and Moreland is in instead of Betts who was shook up yesterday.

Bradley at leadoff??????????  The guy can't bunt at all so a drag bunt down the third base line is out unless he shocks us.  He strikes out too much for a lead off man, but maybe he will surprise us with a home run or something solid.  Still, nothing to complain about our team because they are doing it all.  Let's just get Chris some tallies so he doesn't have to beg for support.

Looks like I missed the 1st PITCH ????? iono iono rofl rofl rofl How evaa, DAD & Bill-806 are OK with the lineup ..... Alex Cora knows how to show CONFIDENCE in his ROSTER, and we all know that CONFIDENCE can lift all players to a better level !! thumb_u thumb_u

Yankees game rained out again. This game should have been postponed as well. I suppose the Marathon tomorrow was a factor in deciding to play in this nastiness.

[markj]

Sale is looking sketchy. Probably hates this weather.

[markj]

Out of the inning with minimal damage. Sox down 0-1.

[Rob from Mass]

Sale with a good inning .2Ks and 13 pitches.

[ipot]

Just a grim day to sit in the stands.  Real troopers, the fans at Fenway.

[Sea Dog 23]

Bundy is shutting down the hot Sox on two hits today.  Is he also selling shoes in the stands between innings?   iono

[Rob from Mass]

Need some runs here.

[ipot]

Sale can't buy any run support   ::)

[markj]

The Awe-fence has become the Aw-fence. No hits? Really?
