Getting exposed against a very good team. This team is the dumps. Can Henry sell the team already?

Boston is still having its 2Bman trying to get up to MLB speed, Cooper is a plug-in not much better than Dalbec, Romy Gonzalez is playing his 1st game at 1B in MLB, Pivetta just had a month off due to a sore arm. 33% of the lineup every night shouldn't be at this level

Told you Pivetta was throwing some cookies up there. Back to back jacks 4-0 in the first

Game may be over, time to watch the Bruins

What happened on Devers ground out? Why no GIDP?

It was a slow dribbler to SS who chose to get one

Nice DP by Rafaela-Grissom. Pivetta throwing a few cookies up there, but still hangs a ZERO . Wong in the #2 slot is unusual but he immediately showed why, creating a double out of a bouncer through the infield.

BUT WAIT, no DP. It is overturned. Nick needs to come back out to get the 3rd out. Watch out !!!

Where are the posters poo-pooing Devers, earlier?

Right here, Moon. Never really liked him , felt he was basically a lazy player of better talent than what he puts out. I think his 10 year deal will grow exceedingly old as he ages into 30's as his shoulder and knee become chronic. . He is not the best player on this team , and you will love this one, He is not a clutch hitter.

At 27 he will continue for a few years to be the 3Bman and upper 3rd of lineup hitter, but that does not make him great or a good example/leader of the Rafaela's/Abreu's, etc.

If the Sox are 62-46, they better not be in Sell Mode…

The Sox will not be 62-46 at the deadline, more in the range 54-54, +- 3 games either way. They should be sellers of a sort at that time, particularly Jansen and Martin. Pivetta may tough to eliminate either due to physical status, or due to lack of alternative pitchers. I would require a premium for Pivetta, because the Red Sox will need to replace him for next season.

After one month of the season, how do we rate the verdugo trade?????

Moving Verdugo was a good decision . He is an airhead who will eventually disappoint then trash his team.

It's only May, and early at that, but this seemed like a must win game, in some way.

 

Nice job by just about everyone!

Had the same feeling, especially pitching Criswell vs Ryan. The slow bats over the past few days was not encouraging but the guys played well and won . Encouraging.

I am thankful Angel was not an angel behind the plate.

One of the few times there was little to criticize Hernandez about. He wasn't the star of the game today

Rafael D did get his shot and a couple of RBI's. Jansen gets his work in , Grissom got the hit when it was needed, as did Cedanne . Criswell continued the effective starting pitching albeit for only 4.1 . Still better than last year's #5 pitchers

Nice team win to end Twins streak and start their own. Way to go Bellhorn !

It could be that the shoulder and or knee are becoming chronic soreness that slows his game down, and he could be just in a slump.

But your thought does ring true also . He may not be the player, say Mookie Betts is.

BRUINS begin their series against the Panthers tomorrow night. Talk about no rest for the weary. Well, it's the BRUINS' fault for extending the Leafs to 7 games.

Better hope the Panthers are rusty from waiting on that very exciting finish. Boston's offense just appeared so uncoordinated throughout this series and power plays were a joke.

Hey, Vegas, do you remember the football player Ernie Nevers? Btw, he also played baseball for the St Louis Browns.

Dever's namesake, Ernie Nevers, was a great player but alas, Never won a SB.

Boston first innings are always exciting. Duran jumps the first pitch out of the zone and pops to the SS. Nevers watches K3 go by, and Refsnyder pops out. I know Ryan is a good pitcher.

Devers has 10 rbi's , only 1 less than the late Enmanuel Valdez and Yoshida. I hope all his fans enjoy the next 10 years.
