Btw, the C B stands for Citizens Band.

Fair to say the FLOPS gave this game away 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

These two games against the Rays begs the question how bad was the Rockies' and Nationals' pitching?

[d-money]

Gonna have their winning streak snapped 🤦‍♂️ 

[d-money]

3 scoreless innings 🤦‍♂️ 

[iortiz]

Marcelo is a huge improvement at 2B. Huge! Reminded me Pedroia right there! 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It appears the Sox have a major league 2nd baseman.

[iortiz]

Hicks has looked pretty solid since he’s been here. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If I had a money ball organization like Tampa, I'd hire a manager named Cash.

Excellent D by Story.

Nice job by the Sox BP tonight. Dobbins may be better suited playing chess. Less risk of another injury.

[Tedballgame]

Wouldn't it be something if Cedanne hit a walk off two run homer here?

 

[Tedballgame]

Well, there it is!!!!!!

[Jasonbay44]

Rafaela sucks!!!! HE CANT HIT!!!

I could become believer

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Fred's favorite player does it again.

[iortiz]

Rafaela is indeed tremendously locked in man. WOW!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In case anyone forgot Rafaela had around 80 RBI last season. 

[Larry Cook]

Wow!! Wow!! Wow!!!  Amazing walk off win!!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I've noticed that one run wins are much better than one run losses.

[Maxbialystock]

Just amazing game.  Given the 3d inning with Dobbins already out, this game should have been over.  I mean over.

But the bullpen was magnificent, and this lineup showed once again they can hit--despite Cora starting Duran instead of Anthony--although I did like the way Duran got that carom off the monster after Rafaela ran by it.  Maybe Anthony doesn't make that play.  

I think there can be little doubt that once again the Rays have a solid team with good hitting, defense, and pitching.  That only adds to the luster of this win--and last night's.  

Bregman's double bodes well for the immediate future.  

Way to go, Raffy, who right now is worth twice the other Raffy, now with the Giants.

These guys are different from those guys.  Maybe letting Devers go was really the smart move.

Devers was a distraction once he refused to help the team by moving to 1B. Dumping his attitude was necessary.

Rafaela is the new “Lil” Papi!!
