2-2 is what you can hope for at best, and should make most very happy. Anything better than that would mean either the bats came alive miraculously or we got really lucky. These should be really close games...it's going to come down to the little things, like defense, baserunning and baseball IQ...something the Sox have been lacking lately.

I heard on the Sox Machine Podcast that the Yankees are having the same issue with not scoring men on base. And they're supposed to be the powerhouse of the league. That gives me hope. I think right now the hope is that the OBP with the Sox stays where it is, and eventually the bats will get hot and start driving in those men on base. Hopefully they continue to be patient and that it pays off sooner rather than later.

What was that thing that Rick Hahn said about Eloys injury...something about if there was going to be a big blow to the team the offense would be the part that could absorb it?

All the games the sox have lost this year...they should have won

Probably a result of nearly half our projected lineup sitting or injured...Grandal, Eloy, Anderson, Engel, oh and the person who scored the walk was the guy who was projected to be in the starting lineup but was a pinch hitter. Imagine that.

Runner on 2B is just bs

Like spitting images of each other

Is Nick Williams related to Kenny?

Time to walk it off

This homeplate umpire blowing pitches AND baserunning calls

Kopech is amazing.

That combo has scored our only run thus far...

He's going to be the ace of our staff.

A 3 run bomb here would be real nice. Edit: nope

Vaughn looking real good at the plate right now. I feel like he's gonna break out soon.

Dylan is pitching better,but damn still SO many pitches through 5 innings. Not even 5 innings.

Ohh, that should've been caught

Leury just said suck on that Soxtalk lol

That blown strike call to Mendick may actually have benefitted us with all those pitches

Dude looks like he's 70 give him a break LOL

This umpire sucks at his job. Actually they all do.

Lets go Vaughn first bomb here.

Missed called strikes and balls can have just as much impact on the outcome of a game as a blown out or safe call...we need to stop the homeplate umpire calling balls and strikes bullshit and bring in the electronic k zone. We've had them on our tv screens for how many years now? Seriously.

Anyone know when Engel is due back? Should be this week right? Would be awesome to get Anderson and Engel back in the same week.

Going to be a chilly 50 degrees, but it should be dry for the game today! Dylan Cease is on the bump for our guys; Mike Minor is on the bump for their guys. Which Dylan will we see today? Hoping to see him work quickly and get into a rhythm...lots of Ks and less BBs Bullpen has gotten 3 full days of rest, so everyone should be available. Also, for those who missed it, Saturday's game has been postponed to Friday, May 14th and will be a split doubleheader. Let's play ball!!!!!
