Let’s kick some arse!!!!!!!!!!

[Thunder]

Keep it rolling. When the Sox are playing well, I hate night games because that means I have to wait around all day in excitement

Hahah. True. I have disc league today at 3 so I’m fine with it starting a little later.

Going to be a huge change for you!!! Bet you’re excited.

Very much so, but I am a little shy, so I am afraid I'll have trouble meeting people and doing things

Ted Williams hated night baseball--bad for hitters, he felt. But it sure has helped attendance and TV viewing even though long games deep into the night are a royal pain.

 

Gotta give the Sox the edge tonight.

When it comes to Renfroe's and Cordero's bats, one must have strong faith in the 'blind squirrel' philosophy.

U-G-L-Y, you ain't got no alibi, you ugly, ey ey, you ugly

[d-money]

Need the offense tonight.

[d-money]

Rodríguez better not throw a stinker here.

Need bats and e Rod to be solid.

[Maxbialystock]

Boy, I sure hope ERod gets it together in the 2d inning because Texas hit him hard. He was lucky on the three outs.

 

Meanwhile, the Sox don't look so great against Lyles, he with the ERA of 6.39.

 

Are they going to show shots of the retractable dome?

[Thunder]

Hey look Renfroe did something

[mvp 78]

DFA Renfroe

[Maxbialystock]

Allll right! Power at the bottom of the order. Blind squirrels can celebrate tonight. 2-0 for the good guys.

[TylerD]

There we go!!!! 2-0!!! Great start.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Blind squirrel philosophy is pretty reliable.

[jad]

Is there any reason to keep Cordero? Other than in the vain hope that the Benintendi trade will eventually look good?

Hitters striving to get the Mendoza line, unite!

No obvious reason to me

Cheap. He has light tower power. See if he brings it around. Potential 5 tool guy.

He swings it like JBJ does. I am not sure it makes sense to wait that long.

I was a potential 5 tool guy, but I could never perfect the use of an axe.

[d-money]

Rodríguez needs better location here.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A robo ump wouldn't have called that a strike unless it was malfunctioning.

[d-money]

Rodríguez giving up the hits early.

[jung]

Hopefully Dalbac will learn not to dance laterally like that. He got stuck in no mans land. He was not going to get back toward 1st base enough to make a play on a ball hit in that direction and he was not going to get to a ball to his right either......and.....he didn't.
