Dalbec is out for the second straight game. Early returns this year weren’t great but I wonder if that finger injury is still bothering him from late in spring training.

I know it probably doesn’t ultimately matter too much, but I really don’t get why Cora loves batting these utility/fringey offensive guys first. Ideally they’d be batting 8th or 9th IMO

Dalbec is out for the second straight game. Early returns this year weren’t great but I wonder if that finger injury is still bothering him from late in spring training. Apparently JD’s been doing video work with him which is great to hear Dalbec does have a very positive history for making adjustments. Remember last year when he went 2/15, BB, 10 SO over four games, ending with a 4 K game in Miami. He sat one day and hit .305 / .455 / .615 the rest of the way. If it takes 2 or even 3 days of work in the cage to fix his problem, so be it.

If it takes 2 or even 3 days of work in the cage to fix his problem, so be it. I agree with this, if this is something where each step forward sticks. But to have your starting 1B at .000 and on blocks for a few games (after 4games) is obviously not ideal. And if this is a tit-for-tat — Dalbec adjusts, league adjusts — that on-goingly creates long spans of no value (or numerous shorter spans), it is a problem. I guess, in short, I worry that his power still might not be enough to make up for his lack of other ways on base. I like him, and I hope he does pick it up.

One freak bloop double, but otherwise a very good inning for Perez. I’m on the bandwagon for the starting pitching staff.

Sox should definitely get Glasnow when he inevitably gets too expensive for the Rays.

Seeing eye single playing two, can’t even be mad

Seeing eye single playing two, can’t even be mad only mad about the 4-pitch walk; Perez usually makes things hard on himself with his spotty command.

The Sox may go all season without a complete game. Their pitch counts are ridiculous so far this season. It doesn’t matter I guess if they are getting guys out in the end, but they have labored.

There was only 45 in all of 2019 and baseball is trending in the same direction still. With our rotation I’d agree it’s improbable

Honestly if this is going to be that ~80 win season a lot of people are predicting and those no value days help him in the long run I’m fine with it. If we’re in a playoff race I agree, becomes more problematic. WhileI’m in on the betting over for wins this year, I think it’s clear they’re probably not winning the World Series so I’m more than happy to see Dalbec improve for 2022 by whatever means necessary. As an aside Marwin looks pretty capable at first (defensively) so that at least cushions the blow a little.

ugh, I've liked a lot of our at bats tonight but Glasnow is really something.

Rotation looks solid through one turn besides Richards. With ERod (and Sale) yet to throw a pitch. Obviously a very early take but if Richards doesn’t turn it around in the next six weeks or so it looks like Houck is a legitimate upgrade. Maybe we don’t have an ace but seems like it could shape into five solid guys.

Another solid back-end start for Perez. Doing what he is expected and paid to do. A worthy roster piece for this club.

Hey Manfred I’ll make a bet with you, if Sox are .555 or better (90 win pace) at the trade deadline you have to switch your Mookie profile picture to my favorite Red Sox pitcher of all time, Nathan Eovaldi.

Chris and Ian hit it well on the podcast this time, last year when we lost 3 of the starting 5 pitchers it was a disaster. This year we're down 2 and the depth is at least going to keep us in the games throughout the year.

Please define VERY FEW. I could not find statistics for pitchers throwing seven innings, but if there were 45 complete games, it stands to reason that there were hundreds of seven inning games. If you are talking Sox only, then a dozen or so might be in the ball park.
