  1. Tampa didn’t look like the team the Sox played in Detroit either. Unfortunately, the Rays are hot right now.
  2. Trying to get a 3rd inning out of Watson was not a great idea, especially against the heart of the Rays lineup, but then, who do you use? The number 5-8 guys in the pen are spotty to be charitable, and you don’t use 1-4 (if available) when trailing
  3. And he was the one saying the youngsters weren’t holding their end up?
  4. I wouldn't read too much into it. Slow starts are not new to him; his numbers in April have never been great, though these are below his career norms for the month.
  5. He wanted out of the game and hitting Story was the way to do it. Pretty obvious when it happened and even moreso when he just nodded to ump the after the ejection.
  6. He has hit the ball in the air. But when he does, flying insects over the infield are also in danger.
  7. He struck out the side. Tigers BABiP is 1.000. How did they morph Bello into Moran’s body?
  8. One difference though is many of Duran’s grounders are hit pretty hard. Durbin makes a ton of weak contact.
  9. 5 of those were in one game on April 15. That was his first RBI since that game.
  10. Then by all means. Call and say I really don’t need your help, I just wanted to tell you I’m going to win the million dollars. Trevor Story sucks final answer.
  11. This is precisely the type of game he should be used in. Well behind. If he’s decent, that’s fine, maybe a miracle occurs and a comeback happens. If he’s bad, not really a big deal, you lose by a bigger score.
  12. What’s the saying? You get 32 starts a year. 8 you’ve got everything working, 8 you’ve got nothing, 8 you’ve got just enough. Today was one of those you’ve got nothing games for Early. They happen.
