4/4 @ Orioles

[mvp 78]

If Arroyo can only play 2b and 3b, is he any more valuable than Chavis?

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Gameday doesn't believe ball 3 was close to being a ball.

 

Ump blew the call; Arroyo should've known better than to watch the next one.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS!

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Mullins leads the AL in batting. Vazquez is second, JD fifth.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS again!

He just made a great pivot on a DP try (runner safe at first)... after a spectacular diving stop and good feed by Devers.

Atta' Boy Rafi!

This ump is inconsistent. They have been since game 1.

[mvp 78]

Have they mentioned a pitch count for ERod? Probably doesn't go past 80?

[TylerD]

That sucked.

[mvp 78]

ERod doesn't seem to be ready for prime time.

He might reach 60, this inning!

He's fooling no one. Whitlock is a lock to pitch today.

Devers sucks at 3b so hard. https://twitter.com/redsoxstats/status/1380241241451941888

He's fooling no one. Whitlock is a lock to pitch today.

 

If he throws another 26 pitches next inning, he won't be lasting long at all.

Looks to me that he's still suffering from 'tired arm syndrome.'

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Home plate umpiring is at the same pathetic level as NHL refereeing.

[mvp 78]

aka Hasn't really pitched in 12 months, probably should have sent him to extended spring training. Seems like he's getting much more of the plate than he usually does.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One thing about E-rod is that the SOX tend to score a lot of runs when he starts.

Marwin Gonzalez had one game at shortstop since 2018 before starting there today.

 

Scouts who followed the Sox in spring training wondered if they had a legit backup shortstop.

 

The answer is Xander should play 161 games this year.

@TomCaron

Rodriguez' velo is down here in the early going. Has only topped 93 mph on four of his 25 pitches. Not throwing his four-seamer very often. Something to keep an eye on as he works his way back after 18 months away from regular-season games.

Let’s hope that continues

[mvp 78]

I'm just not seeing much value in Marwin. He can play a bunch of positions, but not very well. He's a switch hitter, but not all that great.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hopefully, Cora doesn't 'baby' X-man too much this year. SOX can't afford his bat and glove out of the line-up.

[moonslav59]

Finding the groove.

[moonslav59]

Was that just a nice play by a Sox infielder?

 

(Pinch me!)

[TylerD]

Well this isn’t good.

[Maxbialystock]

can't get the game online, so am following pitch by pitch with graphics. Another dinger off ERod, who is throwing strikes but still getting a high pitch count.

Ya figured he would come with struggles. He’s rusty. Will work through it. Need some offence.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wonder if hypnosis would cure JD from going after the low outside pitch? It's definitely his Kryptonite.
