That lineup is DEEP, especially if Sandoval keeps hitting like he did in the spring.
Red Sox win 5-3.
Homeruns from Betts and Sandoval.
Porcello 7 IP, 3 ER, 8 K's.
Save goes to Kimbrel.
Go sox!
My underrated take away from this game was Ryan Hannigan. I really loved the way he receives the ball. He also seemed to be on the same page as Clay all game long. Good start.
We will see. I think I'd take this lineup over that one, especially if Napoli has a huge rebound season. The x-factor will be Xander. If he develops into a stud we will be unstoppable.
So i know everyone is down on our pitching. But remember our 2005 starting rotation: Clement, Wakefield, Wells, Arroyo and Wade Miller. No one had an ERA under 4.15 that year and we won 95 games. This team should destroy s*** pitching all season.
