4/1 vs Orioles - Opening Day 2021

[moonslav59]

No way he goes even a full 7.

 

Ooops!

 

LOL!

[TylerD]

Ooops!

 

LOL!

 

Don’t you dare say “no way he goes 8”

 

We need their bullpen dammit.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

O's have a good second baseman. Sox have no second baseman, but a lot of guys who can play there.

[Maxbialystock]

Andriese turns it around.

 

Barn door now shut, but horse is long gone.

It may not matter today

[Maxbialystock]

It may not matter today

 

True. Our bullpen already stinks to high heaven.

[Thunder]

Yawnnn

[Thunder]

That run down saved Taylor's ERA from being infinity

[TylerD]

It may not matter today

 

Starting to think that myself.

[guinness22]

True. Our bullpen already stinks to high heaven.

 

They do today for sure. Hope the next 161 are better.

to the Oath power...

 

Renfroe bobbled the hit; it's only cold for Sox fielders.

[Maxbialystock]

The good news: this is just one game in a 162 game season.

 

That's also the bad news.

[Thunder]

Can we all just take a moment away from our angst to recognize how nice it is to all be back here talking baseball?

[TylerD]

Well two innings left for us to do something

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Dalbec scoop saves another Devers E. That's three "mental" miscues for Rafie today; I don't think those stats go against his WAR... but does he at least get a negative fistfight? heated argument? bad thought?

[Maxbialystock]

What was it Casey Stengel said at the 1962 Mets spring training. "Doesn't anyone here know how to play this game?"

[guinness22]

The good news: this is just one game in a 162 game season.

 

That's also the bad news.

 

They can’t do that to me! I live in the Peoples Republic of Canuckistan (otherwise known as Canada) where we are still locked down! They OWE it to me after last year! They are my escape to a world with some semblance of freedom. LOL

This. x1000. (See my post above lol)

[Thunder]

Lead off walk...

[TylerD]

We got a runner on!!!

[guinness22]

Well. Renfroe’s Sox career vs LHP not off to the best of starts.

[Maxbialystock]

Meh. This one game is tantamount to the entire season for me, living in NC. I figure to watch maybe one game a month live.

[guinness22]

As Max pointed out earlier I believe, it’s hard to win with only one hit.

[Maxbialystock]

See that graphic just now on the screen? 46 years ago was the last time the Sox were shut out on opening day.

It’s even harder to win with zero runs. Apparently.

This would be a good time for the Sox first extra base hit of the season.

[Thunder]

All of a sudden here comes the tying run

[Maxbialystock]

Another gigantic walk!!!!! Boy, do our hitters know what they are doing or what?

 

Tying run at the plate!!!!

[mvp 78]

WEEI’s broadcast is dogshit. Aside from Castiglione, fire everyone.

[Maxbialystock]

Dalbec, Dalbec, he's our man; if he can't do it, nobody can!
