[Thunder]

I will be there again today

[Jasonbay44]

Looks like it’s going to be a hot one.

If the Sox can go 7-3 in the next 10 games , they will reach the .500 plateau on the evening of May 31. Given the opponent list for these next 10; Mariners today, White Sox for 3, 5 games with the O's and then the Reds on the 31st, no reason the Red Sox can't get back to level , ready for June. All but the WS games are at Fenway also. Edited May 22, 2022 by vegasbob

The M's strategy of grabbing an early, slightly large lead hasn't worked. It'll be interesting to see what their plan B looks like.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I expect EO to bounce back from his Tuesday massacre.

Nate does have something to prove today. A rebound, earn a win and hold the M's to 4 or less big flies. I think he will get ALL 3

[vegasbob]

Arroyo DH'ing for JDM's bad back should make anyone's sciatica flare up.

Plan B appears to be having their 'ACE' pitcher on the mound. That's a good plan.

[vegasbob]

Still think the Sox (Cora) needs to rethink Pops Hernandez at leadoff, at least until he can get his OBP up to around .300 (currently high .250's) . Maybe even Story for awhile, despite his K ratio.

What a stupid assessment of Arroyo's abilities

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A royal blast!

[a700hitter]

Every time Arroyo seems to be on the roster bubble he comes up big.

[a700hitter]

Has that studio in RF been opened since the beginning of the season? I didn’t notice it when I went to a game against the Angels.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I remember the game where Will on his 4th at bat was about 15 feet away from hitting four dingers in a game. I believe it was in Toronto. Edited May 22, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There was some serious 'pop' on that one.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tough break for Franchy. Baseball can be a cruel game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Does France ever hit the ball soft? Damn good hitter.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bobby Deefense.

[Jasonbay44]

I love when Jackie uses opposite field, especially at home

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If Casas is brought up in early June, who do you send down? Dalbec or Franchy?

Even tho Franchy and Casas hit from same side, I think it has to be Bobby. Bobby doesn’t look like he belongs in MLB right now

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

So far, today's ump hasn't been a chUMP. He's been robo-like.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If things don't change drastically for Bobby offensively very soon, I agree with you 100%.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm really impressed with this 25 year old pitcher. He defines what the term 'pitcher' means.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by Kike. He made that look easy. Defensively, CF and RF are about as good as a team could get.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Roy Hobbs!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Whose idea was it to make it 90 feet between bases? It's so perfect. Damn you, Doubleday.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'd define that as a damn fine bounce back performance.
