They need to bring back the big Lefty as soon as his 15 days are up and send Bello to be the bullpen catcher

Not gonna happen. Too little offense. 

How bout them Bruins? Told you they were a talent-challenged team. What they did on home ice in games 3 & 4 was a disgrace. The only player on the B's who gave a damn was Swayman, the teams best player. Hopefully, the FO will consider trading the disengaged Pastrnak.

Whata performance by Ranger man. Let him go all the way he can finish this easily! 

105 pc.  I wouldn't mind another inning, but I'm hoping Weissert can finish this off.  Save a couple of bullets for tomorrow.

It was a rebuilding year for the Bruins. They got 100 points and made the playoffs anyway and restocked the prospect list. IMO they exceeded expectations as did the Celtics.

The Bruins will never win a SC with the stiff known as Pasta. I've been a fan since 1969 and have never disliked a Bruins' player more.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

An excellent example of pitching tonight by Suarez.

The guy can score

Is that momentum I smell?

[alsoason]

To be honest I wish Las Vegas never got a pro team in any sport. Oaklands rejects to boot. The locals could care less about these teams, because the teams are not here for the locals

[alsoason]

Best overall played game of the year and 3 in a row, finally, lets keep it going to 4 tomorrow with Tolle

[alsoason]

10 Punchouts, and a one hitter, tip of the cap, good sir!

[Old Red]

Love to watch a good crafty lefty, which Ranger was tonight.👏

The only hitch I see in them pulling off a possible, I repeat possible 8 game streak is Thursday with Bello, I like their chances with the 3 games coming up at home against the Astros, who are scuffling worse their our guys.

every time I watched Moyer and Tudor after the Sox had them would have me mumbling to myself more times then not.

[alsoason]

good night all, stay safe

[Larry Cook]

Suarez pitched an amazing game today!!  That was a masterpiece!!   
 

He had it all working tonight!! Wow! 

[oldtimer]

Just the act of shaking up the team may be leading to a reset of player perspective and performance. Now lets hope that when moves need to be made that the manager and front office have the will to see it through. If a player or players have a continuing period of underperformance, they  should be replaced in the lineup, assumingwe have upcoming replacements available.

Should yoshida replace Duran in the lineup???

Have you watched duran’s at bats???  Ouch!!! Dude is confused and has no plan when he gets in the batters box!

Yeah, those 3 105+ mph (unfortunately at'em) balls he hit tonight really looked awful.

He's looked a lot better the past couple days; maybe it's because he can show up in the clubhouse knowing he's going to play and that he's back in a lineup spot he is used to instead of bouncing around in various places including the bench.

It also takes a long time to develop a fan base.  Folks in LV are already fans of other teams.  This will take time.

And the one hit was a soft s*** with the fielder playing way off the line.

No, no doubt in my mind.

Agreed. little Anthony in the three hole is a bigger problem to me. Except for the pitcher falling off the mound fielding  his little comebacker last night with two runners on, and giving him a gift hit, and gift RBI his production numbers would look even worse.

If it helps, Mayer + Durbin have a combined higher OPS than Bregman + Bichette, at a savings of $80,000,000 per year.

It doesn't help me because I don't care about stats in April. Elite ballplayers don't suddenly forget how to hit, and most established stars find success from continually adjusting.

Nagging injuries are the only things that slow them down, unless they have failing vision or substance issues (though I may have more of the latter because my vision is still good enough to keep watching the Red Sox).
