Whitlock makes Neto continue his 0 for the Big Leagues streak and makes a fool of Tr(y)out. Garrett is our guy, and gets Ohtani to roll over like the dog he is

[vegasbob]

Here is something to ponder while absorbing today's action.

 

After the last out is recorded , one of these two teams will have a sub .500 record. Mathematical certainty in an uncertain world. Just don't let that team be wearing red socks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wonder what the MLB record is for one team facing LH starters in the first 16 games of the season?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good news: SOX will face a RH starter tomorrow.

Bad news: RH starter will be Ohtani.

[vegasbob]

Let's try something new and play from behind

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Perfect throw by Wong.

[moonslav59]

Kike seems to be finding his groove.

[vegasbob]

Kike's bat is coming alive which would be a big help to this lineup

[vegasbob]

On the other hand Arroyo is a rally killer supreme

[Tedballgame]

Arroyo sucks as a starter.

[Nick]

Arroyo sucks as a starter.

Yep....he is utility guy.

[moonslav59]

On the other hand Arroyo is a rally killer supreme

 

He hit that pretty hard but to the exact wrong place.

[d-money]

Whitlock looks pathetic early.

[vegasbob]

Zach Neto is going to be back with the Trash City Pandas if he doesn't get the bat going. But , no first hit at Fenway ok.

[moonslav59]

Arroyo sucks as a starter.

 

Arroyo was a FT player, last year for a larger sample size than this season:

 

July 30-Sept 3 28 Games started

.860 OPS

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Turner turned that around!

[vegasbob]

Turner turned that around!

You brought your 'A' game today.

After that long fly ball to right Ohtani's thinking "nah, this isn't the ballpark for me."

[vegasbob]

I'm getting concerned. Whitlock has completed 4 full innings and only thrown 56 pitches. He is not following the Red Sox Way of pitching.

Yu funny guy.

Let's hope none of the other pitchers are watching because they might get the wrong idea.

[vegasbob]

Yu funny guy.

 

All right, big guy, your game is getting there too

[vegasbob]

Last 6 batters in this game have K'ed .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wong is doing a lot of things right.

[Maxbialystock]

I think moonslav said it yesterday or the day before. These Sox can't hit spit. Today's starting lineup's collective batting average is right around the Mendoza line. But they are scoring runs.

 

Also, today's game is the Sox 9th in 9 days--and they are scheduled to play 19 games in 19 days.

 

Nice grab by Wong.

[Nick]

Don't worry Cora will take him out after 5. Will say "he did his job".
