Looks like a tough one for the sox to try and win their 3rd series of the year.

Dalbec in for his D ? Garcia is a RH, so BD is at a disadvantage, or maybe it's the team.

Except for that dropped throw last night, I thought Franchy has been alright defensively. And he does hit the ball once in a while.

Pivettabout it! Monster seats infested with baseballs.

Not exactly ripped, but it went just far enough.

Franchy is not a 1B just because Cora puts n out there. That wasn’t the first ball he dropped last night, and has no footwork around the bag. Pretty bad when hitting the ball once in a while an upgrade.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm gonna start referring to Kike as Pops.

It's an upgrade over the other 1st baseman.

[iortiz]

At this point Kike is useless and keeps leading off?

 

Craziness is expecting different results doing the same.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Why that Mother Tucker!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Fans better wear helmets in the monster seats. Bogey!

[Old Red]

Offense yes, but defense no.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

2-3-4, w/o them the SOX wouldn't score.

[vegasbob]

I'm gonna start referring to Kike as Pops.

 

And not due to his age or seniority. Story takes too many on the edge pitches too

[vegasbob]

Congrats to Dalbec for following Fatse's advice and taking 4 balls out of the zone.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS! Kike on 1st didn't affect Devers at all.

[vegasbob]

Congrats to Raffy for being a damn good hitter

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Since last night Devers has a single, 2 doubles, a triple and a HR. Hit for the cycle tonight, Raffy. Edited May 18, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

But to good for John Henry’s checkbook?

He is amazing. Swing hard, Raffy, because you'll probably hit it.

Nice teammate, but Raffy doesn't fit the economic model of gouging prices, cheap employees

[vegasbob]

Notice how BD catches everything thrown to him, so far

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I could picture Devers becoming the 2nd highest paid everyday player in baseball no matter what team he ends up with.

Story is mentally into situational awareness

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Blowing the game wide open hasn't really been part of the SOX offense so far this season.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This will be the 18th time in 37 games where the SOX have scored more than 4 runs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Story is mentally into situational awareness

 

The same pitch he was called out with his 1st at bat was called a ball his 2nd at bat.

Yet you continually honor these bumpires with your praise and respect , especially Bucknor and Angel H, your heroes. Wait, that might not be you, Splendid

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Damn, I'm gonns miss Garcia and his baby not being on the mound.
