Make it 10!!!! I'll be scoring again, so if we're at the 3 hour mark through 7 innings again, I won't exactly be thrilled

[Jasonbay44]

I don’t ever remember this many day games to start a season before.

I don’t ever remember this many day games to start a season before.

 

It's a combination of the ongoing Derek Chauvin trial and the weather. Detroit and Minnesota have been scheduling only day games in April the last few years to prevent against insane cold or snow at night. Plus, this year, there is added initiative not to have people out at night

Nor do I. I listened to almost all the Sox games in 1954, but by then I think night baseball had pretty much taken over because I remember Ted Williams complaining that night baseball was bad for hitters.

[Maxbialystock]

Thunder is right. Either day games or no games in some ballparks in early April. Like Fenway Park and Target Field.

I’m feeling good folks

 

Which Richards will we see today?

[Thunder]

Can we leave some extra pine tar on the hill for Pineda?

[moonslav59]

I’m feeling good folks

 

Which Richards will we see today?

 

If he gives us a great or good outing, we will be looking very solid- for a 13 game sample size (over 1/15th of a season.

I hope it's Reed: Mr. Fantastic. If it's Sue, we won't see her.

[Bellhorn04]

I hope it's Reed: Mr. Fantastic. If it's Sue, we won't see her.

 

And if it's Keith, it's way too early in the day to be playing.

[moonslav59]

How can anyone pitch well with a cigarette dangling from your lips?

[mvp 78]

And if it's Keith, it's way too early in the day to be playing.

 

As long as it's not Michael, we should be good. He's the last person you'd want to send to MN right now.

[TylerD]

If he gives us a great or good outing, we will be looking very solid- for a 13 game sample size (over 1/15th of a season.

 

Yup. We will see what he has today

[TylerD]

I hope it's Reed: Mr. Fantastic. If it's Sue, we won't see her.

 

Dad is that you? Only you could make a cheesy joke like that lmao

[jung]

Alright, time to register a complaint, nine straight wins or not. What happened to the Red Sox eye candy? I am not thrilled with this endless sausage party NESN crew.

[guinness22]

Pineda looks like he’s added a couple lbs

[d-money]

Hope Richards can pitch well and keep us in the game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

With Pinheada pitching today the Twinkies have an impressive 1-2-3 pitching staff.

[Thunder]

Day off for JD?

[d-money]

I will always remember piñata for his pine tar incident. Lol

[guinness22]

Day off for JD?

 

Yup. He and Marwin.

[d-money]

Come on Richards. Don’t give up BP.

[d-money]

Richards has to put batters away.

[Thunder]

iortiz is crushing me in fantasy, so I won't even care if Cruz goes 0-4 today

[Thunder]

Wow those 2 Ks are very encouraging. Guess shaving gave him so good juju

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Richards mirrored Pinheada in the bottom half of inning.

[SeanJohn93]

I feel like Richards is leaving his fastball in the middle of the zone too much in that first inning, just asking for the Twins to get a hold of one

[Thunder]

Anybody else need a nap? I already had my COVID vaccine induced day of exhaustion. Why am I getting another?
