    4/05 Sox at Diamondbacks

    Porcello (R) vs. Godley (R)

    First things first: this sucker starts at 7:10 EDT, and it's not a school night.

    Bad as Rick was/is (ERA 13.50) , Godley is right there with him (11.81).

    The Sox have a horrendous run differential of -19, but Arizona's is -13. However, they are 3-4 (all road games) and we are, oh, yeah, 2-6.

    And how many lefty bats can Cora count on? I see six: Beni, Devers, JBJ, Holt, Moreland, and Swihart. I don't think it's time to rest Mookie, JDM, or Bogie.

    SSS...

    That's a double reference, to small sample sizes and rattlesnakes.

    Go Sox.
    Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    Go Sox.
    Bring on those rattlesnakes, I double dare ya.

    The thing about a small sample size like this one is that it's the only one we've got right now If you want to swing back to 2018 and tell me how great we were a year ago, I'm with you, but will remind you 2018 was successful in part because the Sox went 17-2 in the first 19 games and didn't take their 6th loss until April 27th. The Sox got their 6th loss in 2014--the year after winning the WS--on April 10th.

    All that said, I continue to believe there is no way this year's model won't get to the postseason. Too much talent.

    i believe the Sox are losing at a faster pace this season in order to let MVP off the hook for our sig bet.

    Won't be able to watch the game as I have no power as the electricians upgrade and won't be done till probably 8..... The way the Sox are playing lately, I am not all that sad by this.

    I believe the SOX will score 7 runs tonight. I'm not sure if that will be enough.
