Orioles (Baz) vs Red Sox (Early): 6/2/26, 6:45pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Alright, a divisional foe, in a similar place to the Red Sox. If the Sox are going to climb up the standings, now is a good time to start.

I'll probably miss this game- the first in a very long time. I'm off to Iceland for a couple weeks and may not watch all the taped games, when I return.

Carry on...

LOL!

Enjoy Iceland. It's a great outdoors place in summer and check the active lava spewing near the airport at Keflavik.

I hope someone warns Iceland.🤭

That ended in AUG '25, but thanks.

Baz has a career 505 OPS vs the Sox. He's really eaten their lunch the last two years.

That’s a good long stay.  Hopefully, it is for leisure.

Have a safe trip. I believe Iceland is part of Red Sox nation.

I already did. They seem very cool about it.

But this is the new Sox.

The Sox clearly store their bats there…

This year who doesn’t?

[vegasbob]

Early teasing the O's early.

He needs to get sharper quick

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The great escape.

[vegasbob]

Early follows direction well !

The Sox are 20-9 when scoring first.

How about when they are tied in the 2nd ?

It was probably too much to expect Early to be a dominant pitcher this year. Sox got a steal that he is on the mound every 5th day

[vegasbob]

Early says get the BP ready, I'm going to need help

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Note to Mayer:

The LF wall is closer to HP than the RF BP.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I remember how highly optimistic I was when the Sox farm had KC, Anthony and Mayer in the high minors. 

Oh well, they still have youth on their side.

Saw KCs stats through May in AAA.

He has some real issues, mostly K rate

Although Arias is tearing it up in the minors, I've learned my lesson.

good thing they locked him up with that big contract

Yup, KC may never play MLB again. Anthony is a walking injury. And Mayer may just become what he is now. 

[vegasbob]

Sox swingers giving Early no time between innings to recover.

Also  no hitting happening since Duran's lead off triple. He just chased badly on a couple very low pitches

That was the most ill advised move on a team with a record of them

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

For the Sox Fenway isn't Fenway. It's Noway.

Sox play much better when they Goway
