Think you will be surprised. There is a huge baseball following over here. I’ll be shocked if these aren’t sold out. Also remember football and major sport over here is massively based around derby games (local rivalries). It’s a huge part of our sporting culture.

Nor me, which goes back to what I meant earlier about Cora needs to sort out how he manages the pen. He would certainly of been off after the walk.

The way he is pitching at the moment I don’t think he could even land a ball in a pond. Including the big one between us all.

Amen to that brother!

That’s a good alternative way of looking at it. This bullpen in the main fills me with dread. Great to see Porcello back to his best, hope his three games are a sign of things to come this season.

Great win! But......Cora really has to sort his sh*t out with how he is managing this bullpen. He left Kelly in to long on opening day and did the same again tonight with Walden. From this side of the pond Walden does not look anywhere near good enough.

FFS. Couldn’t make this up. A great start and in the space of a week we lose Bogey and Hanley. Typical that it had to be them lot as well. I hate them. Accident or not.

I’m following over here on At Bat and twitter. How bad did it look with Hanley? I know its early but are we talking possible break?

Should do for the spike. That was an out and out leg breaker.

For a few weeks from here I will give him a pass for his crapness on the mound. That was ballsy what he did. Loved it.

Price and Sale yes, maybe Porcello. After that, not really.

The bullpen fills me with dread It’s only one defeat but they just seem so capable of utter collapse.

Yes please! I’ll take you up on those pictures if possible.

If I was him there would be a high volume of alcohol going into my system on the flight home. Like wise if I was a fan based in Boston i’d be in the bars till tomorrow night drinking Guinness

What just happened!!!!!!! Just WOW. Unreal comeback. Now let’s hope Bogeys okay.

Thanks all!

Thanks! I’m more of a Guinness man I’m hoping with all the Irish connections in Boston i’ll able to get plenty of it when I get out there for some games

Hi all As you can probably tell i’m A Red Sox fan based over the pond in England. Starting following Red Sox in 09, watched fever pitch on a flight back from a holiday, I tend to lean towards teams with passionate fans, fever pitch showed me that’s exactly what Red Sox fans are like( I already had an understanding as I was in NY in 03 during that series and can remember the news channels showing how distraught Boston was). Ever since then I’ve been hooked. As a kid I actually got into baseball in 93 but drifted away when the players strike happened in the mid 90’s. Hate the Yankees and have a not much less hate for Orioles after the way they celebrated stopping us making the playoffs when we collapsed there on the last day in 2011, and the Yankees conveniently collapsed in TB. Favourite ever player in my time as a Red Sox fan....David Ortiz. Favourite players (but before my time)...... Pedro Martinez, Kurt Shilling. Favourite players in current team.......Hanley Ramirez, Dustin Pedroia, Mookie Betts, Chris Sale, Xander Boegarts. Most disliked player full stop....Jacoby Ellsbury As I am writing this Martinez has blasted his first homer for us, Boegarts has hit a a grand slam and we are crushing TB. A good omen on my account being activated. I initially joined on opening day to let some steam off after the Joe Kelly collapse 😀 This season....if we can keep the rotation fit, we have a real shot, we have quality all over the ball park with some real batting power, especially like how Devers and Nunez look like they will be the real deal. Let’s go Red Sox!
