Unfortunately, LH hitting rookies don't face that many good LH pitchers in the minors. It's a whole new learning process in the majors.

Who needs Raffy?  Our DH is just as good as he is.  moonslav is the one saying Yoshida and Ref together wouldn't be as good as Raffy, but they would be close.  

IMO that combo could be better. IMO Devers is going to regress to high 700 through the season. 

[Maxbialystock]

With the horrible, terrible, worthless Giolito pitching and without Raffy or Bregman in the lineup, the Sox just might take this series against a good SF team in their park (renamed Oracle). 

Game a long way from over, however.

Same. Not sure what the fuss is about. Looked a clear out to me

Too early for that talk but I'm sure enjoying watching them play right now.

If somehow they are capable to play clean baseball the rest of the game we got this. But that’s a big If.

We'll see.  Raffy's lifetime OPS is .858.

No, the DH should be Duran as we saw today. He is awful in LF.

I really hate agreeing with that.

Unless Crochet is pitching no Sox fan should be confident about a lead.

[iortiz]

That was fast. Giolito is throwing plain meat balls right now. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Gio was due to be Gio again. IOW, back to being an average pitcher.

[Maxbialystock]

Don't know what the norm is, but I always thought the incoming outfielder had priority.  But I don't know if either of them said he had it.  

Tie game.  Giolito has thrown a lot of fat pitches today.

I like the Italian connection.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Whichever team hits the last HR wins .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Way to go Raffy.

Both Reffy and Raffy have homered for the Sox.

[Maxbialystock]

Agree Giolito looked Giolito today.

This was supposed to be the homer suppressing stadium?!?!?

Good thing they are playing day games where the ball plays way different than at night when the fog rolls in.

[Maxbialystock]

I would definitely have pulled Giolito, who just K'd  Ramos.  

Quality start for Giolito.  6 IP, 2 ER.  How about that?  

[mvp 78]

Good job Romy

The Sox have allowed over 50 unearned runs so far this season, which is the most in MLB.

Squeeze play. Last time Sox did that?

When’s the last time you saw anyone do one?

Will is still whining about the Toro call on the radio.

Was it before or after Yaz retired?
