Good win. Didn’t expect to get this one, given that we opened with Ort. Bullpen proved me wrong though.

Jahmai is the best part of the NESN broadcasts Before & after, sure. During: I want to watch the game, NESN. Not the stands. Please. Eh, this little adventure was cute. You know that’s something little brother is gonna get s*** about forever, lol.

Frustrating not to score there. I feel like we don’t play situational ball well. Not just getting timely hits, but also manufacturing runs. A guy on second with no outs should score.

Not sure how Cora plans to manage the day. We burn our bullpen in G1 and then pray Bello eats innings in the second game, I guess? Or maybe we’ll just overuse Jansen again, I don’t know.
Feel like it would make more sense to burn the bullpen in G2 when we know what we have left, but that’s just me.

Good win. Love crushing the Yanks.
Hope Houck is alright.

Arroyo is one of the most snakebitten players, I swear.

Good. Rockies didn’t deserve a positive outcome after those two strikes.

Glad the ump decided to take over the inning here.

Good win. Wish we could have gotten Bello the win, meaningless as that stat might be. Kid deserved it. But good win.

Okay, what baseball shrine did we desecrate to deserve this luck?

This isn't like guys are pressing or having bad ABs in this game; they're just smoking lineouts and hitting warning track flyouts with runners on base over and over again. Felt like that kind of night from the very first AB, where Verdugo breaks his bat on a probable HR. Just buzzard luck.

Bad lumber probably just robbed Verdugo of a homerun. He got that pitch but the damned bat broke.

Alright, the asshole is out of the game. If the offense wants to wake up and win this one now, that’d be great.

How on Earth is this game not tied? What awful baserunning. And by the team’s vet!

Pax has settled into a very good performance.

I’d be a lot more tolerant of some of these other minus defenders in our lineup if they all raked like Masa.

I put this on Cora more than Jansen personally. I’m not putting my 35-year-old heavy-mileage closer out there twice in a day. That’s just me.

Lol, he "learned a valuable lesson." Was it that "traditionalists are the world's biggest snowflakes and you have to go out of your way to coddle them at all times"? Anyway, my takeaway is that he's an incredibly cool dude, both eccentric and unflappable, and I am very psyched to root for him. Between him, Devers, Kiké, Verdugo, and Turner, this lineup has a lot of personality. Seems like the kind of loose, fun group that might be able to avoid pressing or getting in their own heads like they seemed to do last year at times.
Baseball purists: "No emotion, no personality, and no visible enjoyment of life at any time!" Also baseball purists: "Why don't young people want to play baseball anymore?"

I feel like the Song situation isn’t indicative of failure by the Red Sox, but rather failure by the rule 5 system to account for unusual circumstances outside the scope of the rule’s intended function.
The draft is intended to prevent teams from hoarding MLB-ready players in the minors, instead moving them to teams where they may have a better chance to break through. None of that applies to Song, though. He’s not a major league pitcher waiting for a chance. His last real baseball was a small-sample glimpse in short-season A ball more than three years ago. He has been out of baseball since.
In my opinion, rule 5 should be tweaked to allow leeway for teams to keep players with unusual circumstances like this. And I say that as somebody who doesn’t go to bat for this franchise’s administration very often these days. I just feel like they’re potentially getting hosed here.
