Take Eovaldi out. This team’s not worth it. Agree in general but he's only at 49 pitches, should be stretched out. Some related Summer Camp stuff I remember. Chavis and Verdugo hadn't found their strokes yet, even in BP. JBJ went oppo when they shifted against him, including a bunt single. JBJ also took fielding practice in left field.

See, if MLB implemented the 10 Run Rule, this game is over.

1516 years ago today, the Sox scored 10 runs on a dramatic walkoff homer by Mueller off Mo. It was the famous Tek giving ARod a glove facial fight game.
Great coverage by The Athletic of that game for those with subscriptions.

Take Eovaldi out. This team’s not worth it. Let him approach 90 pitches..

I'd like to see Verdugo and Moreland get some ABs.

The boys are playing pepper tonight. They should open in July more often.

Peraza could be a good fit in Fenway

I’m forced to watch the Orioles broadcast on MASN. Baseball blackout rules are pretty stupid in a normal year. In a COVID shortened season those rules are just plain dumb.

Guerin is wearing so much makeup that I can't distinguish her from a cardboard cutout. I much prefer the more natural look..

Pedrofan.....wherever you may be. Love the Red Sox, enjoy the season !!! I’m also wondering if JimEd14 has decided not to post anymore. The game day thread will be different without him. I leave open that he’s just busy tonight, but I kinda think he’s moved on.

Three hits tonight for JBJ. Apparently this short season is going to include at least some of “I-can-hit-.400-Jackie “. Good for you Jackie.

Hopefully he's healthy, which is the most important thing, but I won't miss him telling us how we should root for the Sox or complaining anytime an umpire call goes against the Sox or a blooper falls in against the Sox or if the BABIP of the opponent is the reason why all those liners are falling in, etc.

Fun win. The Orioles resemble a minor league team. Of course they did last year and the 2019 Red Sox struggled against them so it was nice to see the 2020 Red Sox beat them up.
Pillar and Peraza (what did he see - like 6 pitches?) looked really good tonight. The Orioles staff can make anybody look good but give them a ton of credit, they took full advantage.
Devers did look like a guy who didn't stay in shape. I think it will affect his offense a little, but it's his defense that could suffer. If weight becomes an on-going issue down the road and if his offense is still excellent and the Sox could extend him, maybe his future is at DH with Casas at 1b (I wish he was playing this year) and Blaze Jordan at 3b (hey I can dream, right?)
Otherwise we know Devers is capable of being a solid 3b. Hopefully down the road he stays in shape.
Bottom line - it was just SO nice to see baseball. Win or lose that's the way I'll look at this season. Can't be too aggravated or too high during a strange 60 game season.

So, is Devers on a 60 error pace or a 162 error pace ? Asking for a friend.
