I am glad the Astros got Greinke, because I’m in anyone-but-the-Yankees mode. I wish he could have pitched longer today, though.

Alright back within 3 runs. What are the odds Porcello gives that run right back in the top half.

Last year was so magical that I can't even be remotely upset at these guys. I will say, though, it will be very strange if they get shut out of the playoffs. That was not something even remotely in my thoughts during spring training.

Lol, the Sox laying an egg when the GM comes out and says he believes in them and thinks they're perfectly fine as is.

How does Mookie watch that pitch with 2 strikes?

That feels like the season in a nutshell. Man on third for Mookie and Devers and can’t plate him. These things happen, but last year it was automatic.
Thing is, I ain’t mad... actual just appreciate last year more, like Jerry said. That kind of perfect season is a gift.

That was not something even remotely in my thoughts during spring training. That is what happens in all of sports, it is hard to repeat. Which makes the Pats so special. Happens all the time. The Sox could win the whole thing. But Houston just gave up the farm to win a WS!! Gotta give it to the Stros they are going all in!! Fact is though Greinki could give them little, ya never know. Darwinzon could be as valuable as anyone.

Porcello has nearly a 6.00 ERA and not a small sample size either. I'm surprised there isn't more talk about taking him out of the rotation

If you turn your TV to NESN, you can see what a soft baseball team looks like.

Team just can't avoid going flat often, and often it is at home. Not particularly fun to watch this.

I'm surprised there isn't more talk about taking him out of the rotation I have talked about it and how Eovaldi might be needed in the rotation. Now when Brian Johnson comes back for the Yankee double header, I think he should take Porcello's place. You can not afford to give Porcello another start. He almost deserves to be DFA'd at this point.

That's the Gas Can Heath we are so familiar with..
Pitching well...ERod, Barnes, Workman
Jury out...Darwinzon, Eovaldi, Cashner
Yuck..Porcello, Price, Sale, Brewer, Hembree, Walden, Taylor
Not a playoff level staff as currently pitching

"Half the bullpen options out there aren't even better than Heath Hembree."

They have been nowhere near what the Sox need, but they are having ok years.

Considering expectations, records, and recent performances (esp Price), I have no issue putting them in the huge disappointment category
