I'm debating on cord cutting, but the only reason I still have cable is for Red Sox games, Celtics/Bruins (rare, but I like the option to watch), and Patriots games. Does MLB.TV do the trick? What's the best way to handle this? Figured I'll ask while we wait 8 hours for a simple review. Fubo tv, you can get nesn, it's what I have. I believe mlb package will blackout local coverage. Correct me if I'm wrong fellas. I have mlb and am blacked out today because even for a game at Fenway it matters that I am "only" 300 or so miles from Baltimore. Or is it because it's a national game?

Ok, I mocked, but Means actually looks good.

You can check here to see which teams you're blacked out from based on zip code.

Nice play by Renfroe in right and a nice DP turn by Kiké and Xander.

Defense is looking good so far. Now let's jump in Means in the 2nd time thru the order

We ready to give Hernandez a nickname yet? He looks to be a fan favorite this yr. I cant do the Kiké thing on my phone I'll just refer to him as suave. Sorry did not know the site did it automatically.

Means getting every call on both corners.

Means getting every call on both corners. True. But he is on the edges consistently, nothing over the middle of the plate. He doesn't throw hard enough where it should be a problem. He seems to have them off balance.

Eovaldi pitching like this gives me hope the season will be better than .500, but health is a major concern. I suspect there's going to be a pleasant surpise this year whether it's Pivetta, Houck, Seabold, Groome or other.

He seems to have them off balance. ehh he still reaches back for 93 and it's really his changeup that's been filthy and made everything else play up

I agree the change is helping also, but there is a lot of guys that are guessing wrong right now.

Devers took the one earlier that he shouldn't have and now let the one go that he should have taken

I agree the change is helping also, but there is a lot of guys that are guessing wrong right now. His change is excellent, and he throws it a lot. My guess is 93 looks a lot like 96 when you have that change. Right now, this is tip-the-cap stuff. But if he loses his touch... go time.

any ball hit to the Devers/Xander area has been an adventure today

they have to straighten out the who takes what zone. this has happened in the outfield also. JBJ left no doubt. it is going to be a work in progress with this outfield.

Eovaldi looked good, and I like the hook. Eovaldi is never going to be a guy who goes deep, which is fine. If you treat him as a 5 inning guy, he can be huge.

Sorry, it's absolutely ridiculous that Evoaldi was pulled with just 89 pitches.
