OK, I'll try it: SOX at RAYS (7:05), Tax Day

Cora replaces starting pitchers too early.

Buehler was effective, thanks to defense, but inefficient.  He is not a dominating pitcher.

Wilson is scary but got away with it, using another 20 pitches.

Who has 9 more outs to lock this one up ?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I believe there's a Sox rule that their relievers have to throw at least 20 pitches per inning.

I agree. He's a baby step above Kluber.

Positives from tonight thus far

Duran has had some good ABs. Homer, 2 walks, a steal and also had a hard lineout 

Casas also some solid AB. Hard single and 108 MPH lineout

Big game for Bregman 

no errors yet on defense tonight

Anyone know how many fly balls Nevers has hit so far this season?

When he's not whiffing, he's killing worms.

Congrats to Breggy. 5 for 5. No surprise that he would be the best hitter on the Sox.

Two career firsts tonight.  
 

Bregman has his first career 5 hit game.

Campbell fails to reach base for the first time in a major league game.

[iortiz]

Wonder whether Campbell’s orange hair is natural. If so is one of a kind 

[illinoisredsox]

That was a bit unlucky that it hit the base, but it was going to be a double if fair anyway.

Got the Jad mojo risin'!

The season is still a little early, but I don't disagree.

I later thought that maybe he's still figuring out who he likes best in the bullpen but it's also a modern trend.

That’s because they’re all breaking on him…

He gets blamed if they go too long. He gets blamed if they're pulled too early.

So true, as do all managers.

I liked the hook on Crochet after losing the no-no.
