Rangers (Eovaldi) vs Red Sox (Giolito): 5/6/25, 6:45pm

[Brandon Glick]

Nate Eovaldi is back in Fenway tonight. Hopefully he's more 2019 than 2021.

The Rangers score 1.5 less runs per game than the Sox. Obviously Eovaldi has pitched well. We need to jump on him early and often.

Memo to the Red Sox:

Just win.  I don't care how you do it, just win.

Thanks in advance.

Corable gives a 'not gonna happen' regarding Devers playing 1st.

If the Sox don't make the PO's, perhaps that idiotic manager can be fired. I certainly hope so.

The other internal option is moving Campbell to 1st. He appears to be a quick learner.

He'll get promoted, not fired.

Never understood why Cora is regarded as a great manager.

I'm told that one reason players are reluctant to do this is that the pay-scale for 1B is less than other positions.

Campbell already has a long-term contract.

[Nick]

Feels like a shutout coming.

If the Sox don't score in the 1st 3 innings, you're probably right.

NESN makes a good point.

Schwarber didn't have any issues playing 1B. Why do we baby Devers? What a wuss.

Millar not mincing a lot of words on his view of this.  Said a lot of words, but all to the point.

Devers has an even larger and longer one.  I’d rather leave Campbell at second.

Me too. I'd also rather have a better manager. Cora is actually dumber than he looks.

That’s your opinion.  Question, would you say that to his face?

Everyone here thinks they are smarter than every manager.  He’s not the best in the league, he’s not the worst.  I know I don’t want that job.

[Nick]

Down 0-3. Who wants watch this offensive machine?

[FredLynn]

Just tuning in and the game is just about over already. I think this team has shown us what they are: another roughly .500 bunch of bums.

Why not? If he punches me, I'll just sue his dumb ass.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I liked Gio better last year.

game over. No need to watch the rest of this. 
i thought the team would maybe be better. 
I was wrong 

they’re still bums

Uh huh.  I’m trying to refrain from laughing at the internet tough guy routine.

Why are you so sure he isn't the worst?

Awesome performance Gio! 

[vegasbob]

Appropriate that it is a rainy night at Fenway.

The Red Sox are showing all the attributes of a cold corpse .

On the Express train to oblivion

[FredLynn]

What’s the point of bringing in Bernardino now?

Just leave Giolito in there until his arm falls off, He’s useless anyway.

i always considered Eovaldi a gamer, especially after the 8 innings in L.A., despite the eventual loss of that 1 game .

I'd rather have a gamer than some gamey meat slob throwing up center cuts
