This makes sense, because Jackie can play next to Franchy and make all the plays he misses, plus cover all the other ground up to the Monster.

RF at Fenway is the toughest to play in all of baseball, so I like the idea of two RF's. I'm guessing Cora is playing a hunch.

[mvp 78]

It's just a new shifting strategy for Ohtani.

I am enjoying the heck out of this game and thank mvp 78 for starting the game thread.

 

I even forgive JBJ for botching that shot to CF--sun got him.

Breaking news:

 

SOS!

[mvp 78]

It's weird to see 3 guys in the lineup hitting below .200. I went to look at the team stats for the league and saw that the DBags are hitting 191. The entire team is hitting 191.

 

Manfred is towards the top of all the things that piss me off right now. At least just give me baseball...

[Maxbialystock]

Classic David vs. Goliath if you define David as small, older than dirt, and with a really small repertoire. Ohtani, on the other hand, has a huge repertoire, a great fast ball, a really nasty splitter, etc.

 

And so far it's a shutout against both lineups.

The Reds are 3-21; so there's that.

Manfred is a monkey painting with feces.

Very good job by Hill. SOX starting pitching has been lights out!.

[mvp 78]

Hill is at 68 pitches through 5. Obviously the plan is to take him out. Obviously there are several people on here opposed to that plan. Let's see how this works out...

The SOX 'D' has been very good. Yet the SOX are under .500; hmm, wonder what the problem is?

I’m one of them to stay in.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

So far the SOX offense this season is offensive to SOX fans.

[mvp 78]

I like seeing JBJ out there in CF again.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tough to pitch with this 'nothing burger' offense backing you up. Referring to the whole season, so far, not just this game. Edited May 5, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Lots of good pitching has been wasted so far.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Angels have a pitcher who doesn't hit like a pitcher. The SOX have 4 guys in the line-up who do hit like pitchers.

I am starting to think a 2 run lead is insurmountable…

[mvp 78]

4 k's. Brutal. Ohtani has wrecked the top of this lineup today.

This Story includes a 'Golden Sombrero.'

Btw, the king of 'golden sombreros' is Ryan Howard.

[Old Red]

The guy doing the piggybacking hasn’t done much backing today.

Houck be digging that hole, providing no answers to the BP program

[mvp 78]

Houch

4 hits, an HBP and no outs. Tanner needs his B12 shot

He can finish his mess since he's just a piggyback starter now.

[mvp 78]

A double shot of Houck and Crawford.
