Going to be interesting seeing the dead bats go against MLB best pitching staff.

NEW BLOOD has arrived , Su-Lin & the top minor leaguer Charvest ?????? iono iono

Mookie back to hitting second, Lin at 2B and batting 9th. Thankfully Rodriguez is able to throw to Vazquez. I wonder how all these other guys managed to win their Cy Youngs with catchers other than Sandy Leon?

The big question is will the Sox be stymied by Stanek. He appears to be an opener.

Down 2-0, Sox swinging at anything and getting nothing as usual.

It also seems that this year balls are just out of reach of our fielders.

I've been thinking that, too. The "League's Greatest Outfield" certainly looks mediocre.

Not to mention that they are looking like theyâ€™re capable of being no-hit tonight,

markj · April 19, 2019, 07:24:17 PM

No-hit and shutout averted thanks to Raffy.

Signs of life, heck of a double by Devers.

longgame · April 19, 2019, 07:26:41 PM

Vaz with power to CF!

markj · April 19, 2019, 07:26:52 PM

Wow, Vaz goes deep for a 2-run dinger. Sox now up 3-2.

Nice DP to get out of the inning. E-Rod still doing ok.

longgame · April 19, 2019, 07:46:32 PM

Even Mookie had a hit, things are looking up.

markj · April 19, 2019, 07:54:07 PM

Sox up 4-2.

Why did Stanek come out so early? I tuned in after he left.

markj · April 19, 2019, 08:08:04 PM

Well that didn't last long. E-Rod having a rough inning here. Game tied at 4. Still no outs.
