I love Raffy. I love the Sox. I love everything.

Looking at the weather forecast in Chicago and we may get a late start on this one. 100% chance of T-storms at 8, drops to 50% at 9, and then seems good to go after. Just gonna be on the grounds crew to keep the field from flooding I just looked at the radar. I’d be surprised if there isn’t a delay in an hour or so.

I’m going to be honest. I mostly want Nelly Taylor to sign and climb the ladder so I can see all the minor league Gameday Thread titles that Joel will come up with using a reference to one of the great Rap artists of our age. I'll do the research, but could use an assist here. My rap tastes are stuck in the 80's/90's. I've heard of Nelly, but give me some De La Soul or A Tribe Called Quest. Here ya go. Some of his stuff was so popular and omnipresent that nearly everyone has heard it even if you aren’t a fan of the genre. Big songs that even a casual listener will know…Ride Wit Me and It’s Getting Hot in Here. There’s plenty of others and he’s collaborated with tons of others on music that isn’t “his”. www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/best-nelly-songs/End of thread drift.

Kyle Teel on Twitter is @kyleteel9
I just checked and don’t see anything from the last few minutes talking about his draft selection.

Harold Reynolds likes him, so that’s all we need to know.

Been watching minor league players climb the ladder for a while now. My brain says pump the brakes a little on Rafaela. My heart is screaming at me, “The kid just went three for five with two jacks! He replaces like three guys on the roster with his defense! Who cares if he just got to Worcester, promote him. Promote him!”
Also in this conversation, it’s a given that he won’t struggle at all in the show. 😀

Was too nervous to post anything earlier in the game. But, yeah

Hey, it’s a win. Unpretty at the end for sure. But it’s a win.

Almost a great play. Pedroia makes that a hundred times in a row. So does Story.

Apologies that this is probably the most self-evident thing posted in a long time, but it’s really a lot more fun to watch when the lineup is hitting and the starter is dealing.
Not saying a win is even gonna happen, but it’s an enjoyable game.

Watching Stanton strikeout is one of the more enjoyable things in life.

The Yankees pitchers always get a huge strike zone and their hitters a small one, it's hard to watch. I'm hoping the software in the robot umps don't reflect that same pattern. Etch it in stone that the algorithm will somehow be a Yankee fan.

The bad route is somewhat understandable given that it’s Stanton batting and he took a huge swing. Often that is a ball he’d need to go back on. Cruddy route for sure. But I’m thinking that’s why.

So it’s been a rough couple of weeks. My approach tonight is that I’m just hoping for a win and a fun game to watch. I’m not gonna worry about who isn’t hitting and who can’t get batters out.

This umpire needs to be fired into the sun, holy crap He’s just doing his part to secure the Wendlestdts as the worst father-son MLB umpire tandem.

Bad decision to try to score there. That worked once in a 12U game.

Bold prediction…the Red Sox score eight or better tonight as the bats come back to life (grimaces closing his eyes trying to will it into existence).

Dude, your calling card is that you throw strikes. You’re walking in runs now?

Kluber is about to join Matsuzaka and Buchholz on my list of “Sox starters that ain’t much fun to watch”.
