Renfroe doesn’t trust Richards with a 6 run lead either.

Schwarber looks like a Red Sox. I can’t wait to see him running around Kenmore square in October without a shirt on.

after a break for a few episodes of Silent Witness with my wife, I tuned in just in time to hear Renfro's dinger. Nice, relaxing, non-stressful game - what a concept!

Even in an absolute howler of a game we can't stop stranding people at 3rd.

Just rewatching some video. Dalbec’s leg kick has actually been in synch all night. Let’s hope it continues, but he’d be well advised to switch to a toe-tap in the off-season. Hard transition but would give him a ton more balance and stability to the swing.

On the moral victory side of things, we're 67-51 in a season in which one of our starters can't seem to do even mop up duties against the Orioles particularly well.

Correction Don - ......former starters.......and 3 scoreless innings of mop up is nothing to complain about (and he even was credited with a save).lol

Good role for Richards. Without him, they might've had to burn three different guys.

It’s low leverage and against a bad team, but three scoreless innings out of the bullpen from Richards is still a job well done. That’s three fewer innings that the higher-leverage guys have to throw, and as we saw with Valdez the other night, it’s not always something you can take for granted.

Dude took like 50 pitches to get through 3 innings. Every single one of them sucked.

With Richards, Whitlock, Houck, maybe Perez, they've got several guys who could give them these types of outings (assuming of course that they last 2-3 innings vs. better teams than the zer-O's).

Dude took like 50 pitches to get through 3 innings. Every single one of them sucked. A bit heavy. Fifty pitches works out to a five inning start. This is the bulk inning role that teams are going to need in the era of five innings starts.

I just don't like how Richards takes forever to get through innings. He's like a walking filler episode.

This is the bulk inning role that teams are going to need in the era of five innings starts. That makes little sense. You're saying 90 pitches in 9 innings?? Sorry. Nobody does that. Arithmetic, please.

Way to take game one and tomorrow is really the game I'm most interested in all year. Chris Sale start number 1. He's probably not going to show that number 1 type of stuff but if he does maybe that can change the trajectory of the season.

This is the bulk inning role that teams are going to need in the era of five innings starts. Isn’t 50 pitches /16.6 per inning about right on target??? And maybe Orioles are bad but 1/2 the teams the Sox play in the last 50 are bad. Need to go 20-5 in them.
