Back spasms for Narvaez, and a well deserved day off for Anthony.

He sure didn’t look like he was ready, or even wanted to play.

I read it was borderline disciplinary not injury related

Maybe he caused his own spasms from throwing his hands in the air watching too many pitches fly over the fence.

Red Sox take a lead for the first time this week!

Crochet gives it right back in an open up inning!

A Bush team beats this team right know.

Getaway Day -- looking like Red has half their Sox on the plane already.

[mvp 78]

57 pitches through 3 innings is a great sign.

[mvp 78]

During which series will Durbin get his first hit?

Red Sox Hitting Coach advice: "Swing at every pitch as hard as you can and let's hope the pitcher hits your bat."

I'm going to the St. Louis series April 10-12. I'm predicting he gets his first hit there.

[iortiz]

The way Story and Rafaela are seeing the ball at the plate is beyond worrisome. 

[mvp 78]

Connor Wong hits so that everyone else can stay cold.

Couple of thoughts......

We had entire winter to fix our outfield situation and did not. It wasn't just that we had Duran, Rafael, Abreu and Anthony for three spots but their 'other' position, "DH, was going to be shared with Yoshida.

Duran I believed played in 170 games couple of years ago. He missed two due to suspension? I think he's the type that has to keep playing to play well. Now not only is he not available to DH because Yoshida needs his at bats, he has to sit because you only have 4 positions for 5 players. 

Breslow again sold us on untried Oviedo. 

Just frekin' take the sure thing. YOU HAVE TO GIVE TO GET. What are you, some wall street fraudster? 

By retaining all four outfielders, individually, their market is declining. 

If I bought this team today, I'd fire everyone on the staff and start over. Get rid of Yoshida. Not because I hate the guy, he simply adds problems to the whole puzzle.

This will be the first year I won't subscribe to MLB.TV. You can all make fun of me but it's more about how to spend my 3 hours of free time. Money is secondary.

Oviedo is a bust. Plain and simple. He is not even a major league RP material.

You mean, not seeing the ball. They are seeing ghosts.

7 LOBs already. The Devers/Bregman curse in effect.

When the team is bad, you still get to watch the MiLB teams though.

Game over. Going to be a long season.

[Tedballgame]

When they can't win with Crochet pitching, they just can't win.

True......I feel as though Breslow is always going for the inside straight on the river and the board shows a possible full house.
