No love for Wade Miley, one of the Five Aces?

Cora says Walker Buhler may be ready to start next Tuesday.

Dumb move sending Devers. He’s as slow as molasses.  Cora should be fired right after this game.

We have Refsnyder up 4th vs the lefty, Sale. Campbell 5th.

Our bottom 5 are slumping or have sucked, all year, except for #8 Narvaez, who is up to .767, now.

Rafaela has looked good in the month of May.  Small sample, but he's been hitting.

Please, no Whitlock today. He needs to come in on low leverage situation.

It would be nice if we could get a 6-run lead early and not have to worry about our pitching blowing the game.  Oh wait....

The good news is, we are undefeated against NL teams.  LOL

There is no time like tonight to turn this season around.

Are we wearing the City Connect jerseys?

 The Red Sox promoted veteran reliever Nick Burdi from Triple-A Worcester before their game against the Braves on Friday.   The 32-year-old righty, who pitched for the Yankees last year, posted a 0.54 ERA (16 ⅔ innings, one run) in 13 outings for the WooSox to begin this season. He allowed just nine hits and five walks while striking out 25.

More like it.....Urgency Urgency...make the team better. Look under every rock.

My view on any sample: it happened. Sox fans should savor Ceddanne, instead of rooting for a minor leaguer to replace him. If Rafaela has an entire good season, but then regresses and fades away, then what -- One Year Wonder?

Consider two other recent Boston outfielders, who each had one All-Star season and won one Gold Glove...

Jackie Bradley: regarded by many  as one of the Red Sox' top centerfielders in a sample size that spanned 11 years. Career WAR 16.6.

Andrew Benintendi: also a key cog in a world championship, which his manager says they couldn't have won without him.  Career WAR 15.9 in 10 years... and still active.

Rafaela, 24, could outdo both -- but even if he doesn't, enjoy watching his accomplishments. And it's still a crime Anthony isn't in Boston already because the front office cares more about a 6th year of control that doesn't concern 99% of MLB players and their original teams.

I'm a Rafaela fan.  I'm a fan of defense, in general.  He may end up having a pretty good season offensively, or he might not.  I think he's worth keeping around though.

As far as Anthony not being in Boston, I'm not sure if the extra year of control has anything to do with it.  It's more about the talent we already have playing the OF.

I like the new Fenway greens except for the Nike emblem. I guess you could paint over it.

Anything is better than bright yellow shirts.

Green seems more connected to Fenway for some reason.

The green green grass (and walls) of home. And everything else that isn't moving.

I hope this means that they will be packing away those hideous Yellow and powder blue monstrosity uniforms.

The statement is they will continue some use of the yellow City Connects because the team already prepaid the laundry service for this year.
