Also, overall not a bad outing by Porcello. He had some serious command issues and stuck it out without giving up the big inning.

Could it be Varvaro? He's not on the 40 man and has had some nice results.

Well I don't know how they can get pitching without giving up major prospects this season. I do have one idea to maybe kill two birds with one stone next season though, and this guy probably deserves his own thread. I know this is probably "delusional Sox fan" thinking and I've been obsessed with his highlights recently, but for reference:
155 km/h = 96.3 mph 156 km/h = 96.9 mph 157 km/h = 97.6 mph 158 km/h = 98.2 mph 159 km/h = 98.8 mph
That splitter is nasty too. Also, this season he is hitting .360/.442/.742 with 9 homers in 104 PA. Then there's this: "Source: #sluggingAce Shohei Otani might be interested in moving to #mlb IF teams see him as BOTH pitcher and batter"
Again I'm probably crazy, but would any MLB team be willing to pitch and DH him? I've always loved multi-sport and position players so this is exciting to me.

I know this doesn't have anything to do with the current game or conversation, but look at the ump's calls from yesterday lol.

The thing is, this team doesn't need a great or even good pitching staff to win games. It just needs to not suck

Nice, Thanks for this. Sometime in July you will need to make a video of JBJ's hit streak Haha thanks! Yeah I've got it in mind but hopefully I won't have to make it for a long time. Does anyone know where if I can legally get access to like condensed games or all the plate appearances? I'd like to get every hit but I'm not sure where to get the source video. I know the NBA has a thing where you can click on the box score and see all the shots a player took/steals/blocks... but I don't think MLB has this

So I don't know if people are interested, but I made a highlight video of the 22 game home run streak that recently ended. If you just want to see the swings back to back that starts at about 7:13. Enjoy!

Over/under 30 sox runs this series? The crazy part is that is a serious question

I can't really figure out Baltimore... Are they really this good? Chris Tillman has to fall off some right?

Clay has developed a unique ability to give up a homerun exactly when it will hurt worst. This is true. He's given up 9 homers this season, only 2 solo shots

I feel about 75% confident that the #3 pick of this draft will not play for the Celtics this year. I'm not sure who that will be instead yet but that's just the way I think right now.

Are the Orioles for real? Trumbo is having a great year and they are slamming dingers at a strong pace. Their pitching and defense are probably better than expected. They are staying right with us even though it seems we are facing a lot of real bad teams at the beginning of this season. If guys like Trumbo keep producing they could be a problem. The thing that often affects teams like the Orioles is a lack of depth. A couple key injuries and things could change with any team. I was thinking the same thing, but I looked at their schedule and they have also been playing some garbage teams. They're coming off series against the Yankees, A's, Twins and Tigers which are a combined 58 and 89 (.395)

Lol since the first game of the A's series the Sox have scored at least 1 run in 31 of 55 innings for 56%. They're also now 28/30 for steals on the season. Maybe RAJ has found his calling in baseball as a first base coach haha ...with 3 today it's 30/32....unless I am mistaken. Phenomenal. Oops you're right my mistake

Coming into this game, Clay Buchholz opponent splits: No men on base: | .238 | .358 | .313 | .670 OPS | .295 BABIP | Men on base: | .288 | .325 | .562 | .886 OPS | .271 BABIP |
Not sure what it means but he's given up only 1 solo HR out of 6 total Also, I'm very glad Carson Smith is in right now

And theyve been one of the 4 best teams almost every single year the past decade. Name a more successful team the past decade among the 120ish major sports teams. Not to start a huge off-topic conversation but the San Antonio Spurs may be close
