Duran back to leaving the dugout already down 0-2

He's copying Story.

[vegasbob]

Early struggling   cannot find the plate. Mostly Narvaez's fault for calling balls not strikes

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well executed DP.

[vegasbob]

Getting the DP helps but just a reminder on 3 outs dude

Nice escape

Ceddanne needs to be banned from challenges

I keep repeating this and he keeps repeating lost challenges. 

And some posters said he couldn't repeat being clutch -- but how about for the other side?

who knew Mayer could hit lefties?

The big mouth fan he knew who lives in his mom's basement.

Raffy's a great CF who's batting around .280. There's much worse players on this team to diss. You're not related to Fred are you?

[vegasbob]

If Early is going to be a mid to low FB, slurver as a pitcher he will need to develop Maddox level corner control.

He doesn't have it yet but he's Early. 

He does show he can pitch at this level and is an asset, just inefficient in pitch count

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

OB surprised the opener went 4. Really, OB?

He'll have to develop control before he can even think about command. But, you're right, he's young.

[vegasbob]

Early can't avoid all the risks and let's the no offense Sox fall 1 behind, again with 2 outs, not 3

[vegasbob]

Duran 0-2 , then 3rd K to Cam Booser

Abreu saved from his 3rd K by Rafaela's thwarted theft

[vegasbob]

 

 How many dribble or intentional bunt hits does TB have, 3 or 4 ?

How many do the Sox have 0 ?

[vegasbob]

So is Guerrero going to be a good pickup ? Looking pretty strong tonight

The Sox should bunt more, if only to reduce their number of K's.

I always get nervous when Duran hits a few homers in a short time; he starts getting pull happy trying to hit more and the Ks accumulate faster.

Yeah, but can he hit?

Early wasn’t sharp but you really can’t complain when your starter only allows 2 runs.  He's given the team a chance.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Durbin doing his best to keep his jerseys from selling.

[vegasbob]

Durbin swings at a pitch that was going to hit him , then takes cookie in the middle that ABS fixed for the incompetent ump.

No runs again

Except that giving up 2 runs on this anemic offensive team is the same as giving up 4 runs on a team that actually has a MLB line-up.

Otoh, owning a Durbin jersey could be worth some money in a few years because they'll be so rare. Kind of like the butcher's cover on that Beatles' album.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tampa hasn't been winning much lately because they haven't been scoring many runs. Well, lucky for them, they're playing against a team that doesn't require them to score many runs to win.

[FredLynn]

2-1

Another game when two runs is enough to beat the Flops. And the idiots in management are talking about acquiring a rhh. They need to sell sell sell. The team sucks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No matter what the count on most of the Sox batters is, the pitcher will always be ahead.

[Oscars]

The Red Sox trying to win a game again by scoring their customary 1 run 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Now the Rays are just trying to pile on.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Chad's making more money, better traveling and room accommodations, so it isn't all bad for him.
