6/17 RED Sox in the Great White North, near Niagra Falls but actually Toronto

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX have had their share of excellent defensive center fielders going back to Dom DiMaggio. Rafaela continues the tradition.

Jimmy Piersall may have been one of the best ever.

Very good defense has helped Pivetta get through 6 with only Turner ripping him.

Speaking of the outfield; in 1984 all three starting OF's for the SOX had over 100 RBI. Rice, Armas and Evans. The SOX finished 4th with an 86-76 record.

5 HR's, all solos.
O'Neill's stats of 14 HR's and 24 RBI scream of many solos.

I guess this year would be the 40th annivesary of that rare feat.

The cry in the AL is "break up the Red Sox!"

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Just informed that the SOX have 7 players with an OPS over .800. Most in the majors.

HP ump wants to get done and go out in Toronto. If it is between the batter's boxes, it's a strike

Yeah, most players with an over .800 OPS are in the majors

[redsoxrules]

This home plate ump is all over the place.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

6 solos and counting.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good start by Pivetta. After throwing 46 pitches after 2, he only threw 60 in the next 5.

[vegasbob]

Pivetta helps the BP by getting 21 outs interspersed with a couple rocket shots, but overall a winning effort.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm guessing Vlad, Jr will be available for a trade by the TDL.

Keller with a very good 8th.
