4/13 vs Rays

[BornToRun]

Worst schedule ever.

 

Beyah

[NativeBostonian]

Let's get this s*** on the road. I'm pumped baby!

[jung]

Well I guess we don't have to worry any longer about these two guys being retired...Wake and Tek....when you are throwin' out the first ball...you are done.

 

Wish they had not rolled Pesky out there. I am sure he was OK with it as well as his family but Geez I hate to see them that old. Probably his last go around at an opening day. Love ya' Johnny.

Thought I was gonna get off easy.... Living in Florida, ordered nesn for $8/month ( not bad, compared to MLB package ) come to find out nesn doesn't broadcast live gms out of network.... No idea why?? Wasn't gonna pay $8 to watch replay condensed gms ( that I already know the outcome ) at 2 in the morning..... Now I'm paying $179.99 for MLB ugh

Definitely have to have MLB Extra Innings. I have it through Fios and they have a lot more games in HD this season as well as being able to choose the Home or Away broadcast. Big improvement over last season. I need to find out if I can pay extra and get NESN like you do.

And of course they aren't broadcasting the home gm for the sox..... Ugh.... Have to listen to these idiotic TB broadcastors

[jung]

Well that was not an encouraging 1st out. Right on that nothing FB

[mvp 78]

No one post spoilers. I can't watch til later.

[jung]

So far Beckett's FB is still 91-92

MLB Extra Innings is having a free preview. If you go to those channels you should get today's game.

[jung]

Outta' the 1st....thank God!

[MANNYHOF24]

So far Beckett's FB is still 91-92

 

Beckett can pitch well with that if he is locating, which according to the radio guys he is so far.

[BornToRun]

How's Beckett look so far?

[NativeBostonian]

Sweet that Wake and Tek are throwing out the first pitch!!! :thumbsup:

 

It would have been cool if Tek caught Wakes pitch.

[NativeBostonian]

Let's start this first inning with some runs.

[jung]

Be interesting to see if Beckett can continue to throw the Change at 86. That was one of the things I mentioned his last outing. 91-92 for the FB may not be all that unlikely for Josh as he ages. He can pitch there if there is a big enough diff between the FB and the offspeed stuff. He has the offspeed stuff down at 86 so far today....something he did not do at all in Detroit. However he is having difficulty throwing it for strikes down here at 86. Worth watching I think.

[NativeBostonian]

I call a laser show over the wall.

[jung]

Meanwhile Price is throwing heat

[MANNYHOF24]

Price is throwing 95-97 so far. This is going to be a tough day.

[NativeBostonian]

Hahaha, nice going Rays.

[jung]

Rays left side auditioning for spots on the Sox, blunder and give Pedey another chance...makem' pay

[BornToRun]

Durrrp

[BornToRun]

Price is throwing 95-97 so far. This is going to be a tough day.

 

Have no fear for the Darnell is here.

[NativeBostonian]

Crap, they didn't run into each other this time.

[VA Sox Fan]

More from the Globe:

 

Cheers and boos: There was a mixed reception for Bobby Valentine. Dustin Pedroia and Big Papi got the loudest cheers. Josh Beckett got a lot of boos, more than Bobby V.

 

Huge cheers, of course, for 92-year-old Johnny Pesky.

 

Introducing the Sox: Big cheers for Carl Crawford, who's here taking a break from his rehab. He's in good spirits. The bench guys are getting introduced now.

 

Ceremonies begin: Loud boos for Luke Scott. Hopefully he didn't ask to see Fenway's birth certificate.

[BornToRun]

Made him work for it

[jung]

Oh look, a home plate ump that actually can see!

[NativeBostonian]

Wow, Price is on today. That had some heat.
