Yesterday?

[TylerD]

Well Oakland and Braves are also winless , and they’re talented teams so maybe we can turn this around.

[mvp 78]

I have Major Concerns about this Rock Bottom post title.

[TylerD]

I have major concern that this series could be even more ugly than the Baltimore one. Who is this pitcher going for us today??? Never heard of him.

[TylerD]

Sadly I just checked and he was on our roster last year lmao. I didn’t even know that.

He was in the Hembree/Workman deal.

He was in the Hembree/Workman deal.

 

Oh yes I remember now. He’s starting today?? Wow lol

[mvp 78]

Hopefully, there's more WOW and less LOL in his performance. He pitched ok at times in Spring Training. He's not the guy you want to throw out there when you need a stopper though.

Fair enough. I just hope the bats come alive. Outside of Martinez it’s been ugly. I don’t even care if we need to win 8-7. I want some offense.

No.

 

Tonight.

Might still be blacked out for me. No NESN + being in market is not a fun combo

I hope you are enjoying the Will Flemming experience on WEEI.

I definitely like him more than Lou Merloni. If it's just Flemming with Castiglione, it's tolerable. It was just the two of them yesterday.

I don't like Flemming's style, but Lou is a fish out of water. Just horrible.

Short leash on this game. Oilers are playing at the same time. If Sox are getting crushed I’m switching to the Oil and Canadiens game.

Thankfully I have to work from 7-9. Hope to see something good when I get done. If not, no worries! I'll just watch something else or do some reading

[mvp 78]

Hernández 2B,

Verdugo CF,

Martinez DH,

Bogaerts SS,

Devers 3B,

Vázquez C,

Gonzalez 1B,

Renfroe RF,

Cordero LF,

Pivetta RHP

 

Not often do you see a lineup where the corner outfielders and the 1b are 7, 8, 9.

[guinness22]

Well. Country Easter brunch didn’t help the cause yesterday at all. Today is 2-2-1 back ribs on the bbq. Maybe that’ll be the ticket! Go Sox.

@SoxNotes

So, in the first 120 years of Red Sox baseball, it didn’t happen once. This year, it will happen twice:

 

Alex Verdugo – CF, RF, LF

Marwin Gonzalez – LF, 2B, 3B

 

Now it will be 4 games, 4 positions for Marwin.

[moonslav59]

He was in the Hembree/Workman deal.

 

Pivetta could end up as our 2nd or 3rd best SP'er!

[mvp 78]

Pivetta could end up as our 2nd or 3rd best SP'er!

 

Could. He could also get DFA'd. Wide range of possibilities for that guy.

[moonslav59]

No.

 

Tonight.

 

But, today is the 5th.

[moonslav59]

Could. He could also get DFA'd. Wide range of possibilities for that guy.

 

Not likely, but true.

 

Also, my statement says as much about the rest of our rotation as it does about Pivetta or fill in the blank.

Is getting the date wrong on a game thread supposed to be a reverse jinx or something?

[Maxbialystock]

No. Bad form. No correlation with winning or losing. It just isn't good mojo.
