Stroman. Why did it have to be Stroman? I feel like the Sox have missed teams' top pitchers a lot more than they've caught them this year. Anyway he's got nada on Pomeranz - 9-1, 2.45 in his last 16 starts. |

That is a much better lineup. The only thing that I don't like is Moreland batting so high, but the Sox have no choice with Pedrioa and JBJ out.

Farrell has always made it a point (to the point of it not making sense, imo) to stagger the handedness of the lineup. |

I just hope that the line up works and we get a win. |

Yay! Hanley batting 7th 😀
Hopefully next step will be benching him when Pedey gets back before the final step of DFAing his worthless rear end in off season!

Just read that the Yankees are giving Judge some time off to clear his head and hopefully get him going again. I wish Farrell would do the same for Mookie. Maybe when JBJ comes back.

Toronto is already +3 on blatant obviously wrong pitch calls. 1 to Mookie (was over the LHB batters box) and the first two to Pearce.

Also, the least hard hit ball in the 1st inning by the Red Sox was harder than every single ball put in play in the only inning Baltimore scored in yesterday.

lol @ Moreland glancing back at Donaldson. How do you miss the first base running down the line?

Man, not the kind of start the Sox needed. Not after the way they've been playing the last 4 games.

Bautista and Morales with ground balls to 1B for the first times in their careers. Everything sucks and the curse is back.

CV gets that run, great job. I am really not over the last series, very short fuse going right now. Let's go Drew.
