4/4 vs. Rays

[jacksonianmarch]

Yarbrough is toast. That pen is thin. Sox should close this out.

 

Looks like you got good Nate today

[guinness22]

Hitting 100 a bunch and getting a lot of swings and misses, and Ks

 

Nice! Nasty Nate today.

Atta boy JD

5-1. Martinez again!! This is fu n

[Thunder]

J.D. Just Dents (in the wall)

[guinness22]

And Vaz!

[TylerD]

Can't believe (outside of Richards) how good the pitching has been.

 

OMG 8-1! What are the Rays doing defensively lmao.

Tampa went to the World Series and decided to gut their pitching staff.

John Smoltz sure likes to talk about himself

He's made a career of it.

Don't know how many games this SOX team will win this year, but ya gotta love the enthusiasm of this team. Also, it's obvious that VAZ, thru hard work, has made himself into a top-shelf hitter.

[harmony]

Vazquez has now hit two balls out of Fenway in about 16 hours

 

 

3-1!!!!!

Christian Vazquez went unclaimed at the preseason auction in my 10-team mixed fantasy league. In the league's first twice-weekly draft on Sunday I picked up Vazquez with the 10th and final pick. Since then Vazquez has gone 5-for-11 with two home runs, five runs, four RBI and one stolen base.

What a change in the attitudes of posters from 3 days ago.

They've gutted their rotation several times and don't seem to miss a beat.

I have him in our TalkSox league. You should join us next year!

It's so nice to see! Of course, it is a little annoying for those of us who remained calm the entire time

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

With Verdugo in the line-up the SOX 1-6 is a very good stretch of hitters. 7-9?

[TylerD]

This offence is very good. Vaz is off to a ridiculous start.

Vaz has basically been an .800 hitter the last 2 seasons combined.

 

This is a great start.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Offensively and defensively the SOX are very good. It's that third ingredient that's lacking, which will hurt. Will Sale return? How long before E-rod is injured again? Kudos to EO for his performances so far.

Yup! There has been a fire lit under him!

 

And the start by Eovaldi, 12 innings and only 2 earned runs.... Really stepping up big with E Rod and Sale out.

The third ingredient has been pretty decent so far outside of Richards.... Not sure it will last or not, but as of right now the pitching has been pretty solid. If we had any sort of offense in the Baltimore series, we would be 6-0 right now.

True. We don't have to wait long to get some revenge on the O's.

Sweeping the Rays, although it's early, is huge.

This!!!

 

Man what an awesome feeling. When is the last time we swept these guys? Feels good!!

[Thunder]

I don't know about y'all, but I can't wait to play the O's again!!!!

That’s right. They don’t miss a beat. They have been dead last in attendance every season since forever.

Never too early to sweep the Rays...

I still expect some fans to be like the grounds crew in the first Major League movie. “They’re still s*****”...

What's funny to me, is that the biggest Debbie downers are those who denied we'd have a big down turn.

 

Maybe they are just frustrated they were so dead wrong.
