Hopefully it's nothing serious with Victorino, as I see he still might be on the field later tonight, for the second game.

They'll surely sit him if Dempster wins the first one.

3B Evan Longoria's opinion on the Boston Red Sox: "I'm nervous. I'm scared of them. I don't know if that's the word for it, but I think that they're a team to be feared."

Game time: 1:35 p.m.

 

TV/Radio: NESN / WEEI.

 

Red Sox vs. Santana: Ortiz 8-28, Pedroia 3-24, Carp 5-20

Ellsbury 6-21, Gomes 3-15, Napoli 6-15, Nava 0-6, Saltalamacchia 1-4, Ciriaco 1-3, Drew 2-3, Victorino 1-2, Ross 0-1.

 

Royals vs. Dempster: Tejada 8-28, Escobar 2-16, Francoeur 6-17, Getz 4-10, Kottaras 2-7, Butler 3-6, Gordon 2-6, Moustakas 1-6, Hosmer 1-4, Cain 0-2, Perez 1-3, Chen 0-2.

 

Stat of the Day: Three of Daniel Nava’s four home runs this season have come with the Sox either tied or trailing.

 

Notes: The Sox have won seven straight, their longest win streak since they won nine straight in 2011. Their 12-4 start is their best since they started the 2002 season with the same record. They are now 15-6 against the Royals at Fenway since 2008. … Despite a 2.65 ERA and 25 strikeouts in 17 innings, Dempster is still winless. As a team, the Sox are 1-2 in Dempster’s starts. He’s getting 3.4 runs worth of support … After his four-hit game Saturday, Lorenzo Cain has seven consecutive hits and is 9-for-12 in the first 3 games of the Royals road trip. He’s hitting .688 (11-for-16) over a 4-game hitting streak … Ervin Santana is three wins from 100. He’s 12-14 lifetime in April. For his career, he is 3-3 with a 4.13 ERA against the Sox … The Sox called up 23-year-old righthander Allen Webster for the second game of Sunday’s doubleheader … The Royals added lefthander Will Smith.

 

Song of the day: “Retrograde,” by James Blake.

The 2nd game is listed on MLB Extra Innings. Guess I won't get it here. <_>

 

I have MLB.TV. I will get the first game, but on the blackout restrictions it says that games starting after 5:00 p.m. will be blacked out on Sunday's. I think that is complete BS if it is true, especially since I would have been able to see the game if it were played on Friday. I highly doubt it, but maybe they can make an exception because of the reason why the game was not played on Friday.

Regular Season Weekend U.S. National Live Blackout: Due to Major League Baseball exclusivities, live games occurring each Saturday with a scheduled start time after 1:10 PM ET or before 7:05 PM ET and each Sunday with a scheduled start time after 5:00 PM ET, will be blacked out in the United States (including the territories of Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Live Audio of such games is available as part of any MLB.com At Bat™ subscription. Each game may be available approximately 90 minutes after the conclusion of the game as an archived game (archived games are blackout free).

 

That is what is says on mlb.com, however I just called and the lady I talked to said the game didn't say it was blacked out. Don't take my word on that. The lady did not seem like she knew a whole lot about it. She said that one game is a national blackout no matter what. That was the Cardinals game, not the Red Sox. I will still try to find out more and let you know. Definitely check either way to see if it is blacked out or not.

Gomes in LF? Gahhhhh.

 

Also, from FanGraphs:

 

Kansas City at Boston | 19:10 ET

Right-handed prospect Allen Webster, acquired last season from the Dodgers in that one trade, makes his major-league debut for the Red Sox. Here’s where Webster ranked on Marc Hulet’s preseason top-100 list: 55th. And on Baseball America’s top-100 prospect list: 49th. And on Bullpen Banter’s same kind of list: 93rd. Mike Newman has seen Webster a couple of times, noting both that (a) Webster is capable of “working full innings at 94-96 mph, touching 98″ but also that (B) “Webster’s stuff has fallen off a cliff” after four innings each time.

If you go on the MLB.TV page where you view the games. It does have the Cardinals listed as a National blackout. I am not sure if it is just one game that is blackedout where they are referring to the Weekend U.S. National Live Blackout. It does say that "each Sunday with a scheduled start time after 5:00 PM ET, will be blacked out," however, I am not sure if it is referring to only that Cardinals and Phillies game. It does not say that the Red Sox game is nationally blacked out like the Cardinals game. I am hoping it is not.

I hope not. I finally bought MLB.TV today and was really looking forward to being lazy and watching both games today.
