Can anyone tell me where to find the game thread for today's 4:10 pm game vs. the Orioles?

A Realistic View at 2021: Part III

Nah. He's the right pick. Would others have been as good a DFA pick? Probably. None of Dalbec, Cordero, or Arauz impresses, but they are all 6 or more years younger. -
And they do it for a lot less money/salaries than the Sox.
-
Also agree.
-
Agree.
-
That's our bullpen. Ain't they great? In this game they have certainly taken some of the heat off of the lineup.
-
Ball girl in right acquitting herself well. Devers lines out. Of course. JDM flies out. Of course.
-
I love the 9 outs to work with, but not the way the Sox are hitting today/tonight.
-
I disagree. This game is basically over. Now is the time to give other arms a chance and continue to rest the bullpen, specifically Barnes, Whitlock, Sawamura, Ottavino, Valdez, et al.

FWIW, all four Rays runs, 3 earned, are charged to Houck. He was absolutely killed by having to face the Rays batting order that third time. When he did so, two things happened. The first two hitters were able to foul off a bunch of pitches before getting a double and then the dinger. The second thing is that Houck wasn't as sharp as he was earlier in the game. Fastball not as fast, etc. So right now I'm thinking just maybe Houck needs to be pulled the third time thru the order. I'm not saying Cora should have done that today.

Duran made to look really stupid. A slider in the heart of the zone, he looks at. A slider way below the strike zone, he swings at and missed. And he has the edge--righty hitter vs. lefty pitcher. That said, McHugh's slider is nasty.
-
Gretel's bro out there to get the witch back in the oven.
-
He looked absolutely great today and, frankly, got crappy support from the hitters and from Plawecki's error.
-
Looks like Plawecki is having trouble catching the ball, even strikes.
-
Those two are tough and this was their third time seeing Houck. Cora's dilemma is that recently the bullpen stinks, with no exceptions.
-
Say again?
-
Lowe and Franco are both tough outs and good at fouling off good pitches.
-
They stink, I agree. But I'm not so sure anyone better is available.
-
Taylor warming up.
-
Yep.
-
Gonzalez and Cordero have now both struck out against two different Rays pitchers. Duran the rookie looks more comfortable at the plate than either of them.
-
Plawecki owes--and makes a partial payment back!!!!
-
I'm starting to think the Rays software data on positioning players is better than the Sox.
-
Great 5th by Houck! Pitch count shot up to 69, but I think he comes out for the 6th.
-
Out 2 in the 5th, also another K, this one on a splitter!
