I didn't think it possible to exceed what Eovaldi has done to start a Red Sox career - Sean McAdam Retweeted Red Sox Notes @soxnotes 8m8 minutes ago Nathan Eovaldi has allowed 0 runs in 15.0 innings since joining the Red Sox. The last pitcher to begin a Red Sox career with a scoreless streak that long—all as a starter—was Billy Rohr in 1967 (16.0 IP).

Friend reached out, w/ offer for me to go on his other ticket, to the Sunday game, in the FW Webb Suite...had to decline, due to conflict with annual (extended) Family get together.
(love the Fam and all, but.. and I did try to figure a way to make everything fit...)

Am I the only one who had the thought "already paying defensive dividends", as Nunez has fumbled throws and or missed tags, on a few similar plays?...am I misremembering?

DDo just quoted something like Kinsler provides what we anticipated from Pedroia, but we don't kow if he'll be back, and, if he is, it'll be late, and the deadline is July 31...it makes us better...

Boston will also receive some money in the deal, per Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston (via Twitter). Kinsler is earning $11MM this year before reaching free agency at season’s end.

...is it possible, in whole or in part, it is some MFY proxy leaking/source, trying to (further) muddy up the Harper/Nats relationship, for off season purposes, even if report is false, or not quite as represented, and Harper isnt traded?

Ken Rosenthal Verified account @ken_Rosenthal
Int’l scout: “Yankees are killing it. There are still several unsigned international guys. (Cashman) upgraded his pitching, traded off surplus for international $$$ and can add very high-quality prospects to keep or guys he can trade (later) for top-of-the-rotation starters.”

So, Cora at post game presser, indicating serious ligament damage for ERod; that he'll be in a boot, for two weeks, with a reevaluation, at that time...

Interesting/coincidental the Eck comment about the unusual nature of Sox rotation (heavy LHSP leaning)...
...as (if memory serves) towards the end of his time here, wasn't he part of a Sox pitching staff the last time Sox rotation was this lefty-leaning, w/ Hurst Ojeda Tudor?

I loved Jimmy Piersall. During the off season back then they had to make money some other way. He became a spokesman for Cain’s. On day my father took me to Augusta Maine to meet him at an A & P market. The deal was that you had to grab a jar of Cain’sSandwich Spread and show it to him and then he would give you his autograph. I was 10 at that time and I remember him towering over me with a great tan (in January). He was really nice and I was thrilled. He would position Ted Williams in the outfield, although sometimes Ted would ignore him. Anyway he would cover Ted’s ass and make the catch himself. You are right, he was the best center fielder they ever had until JBJ came along. #37 When he played for the Mets, he ran his 100th home run around the bases backwards. Ps. Jackie Jensen is the most under rated outfielder they ever had. I'm not old enough to have seen JJ, but, born in '59, and one of many who grew up in the 60's, where the Impossible Dream team, at 8 yos, got me hooked, forever, I'd always though the same ("most underrated OFer") of Reggie Smith.
(not to mention, when my three brothers and I - 4 of us, separated by less than 5 years oldest to youngest - would play 2 on 2 whiffle ball, in the backyard, where we'd choose MLB teams, and mock out the batting order and players, including their stances and swings, when a sib and I would get to pick the "Red Sox", we'd set the order, so I'd get to hit as Reggie, since I was a budding switch hitter, and his stance and swing were pretty cool to mirror...
...and, I had a handful "auto-HRs", as #7, which, as everyone from the neighorhood, back in the day, who played our field, knew, was out of the yard, over the hedges, across the street, on "Mrs Evan's roof"! )

So how many starts behind the plate will Swihart get, in the near term, until CV is back?

Going on Wednesday for the Patriots Day-esque 11am start with my family. Thankfully it's not supposed to be quite as hot as it's been the past couple days here. Kind of disappointing that they're rolling with Johnson tomorrow rather than calling up Beeks, but I guess I get it - if you're not using Johnson here, no point in having him on the roster really. Yes...I'm going tonight, myself, with sib and nephews, and hydrating all day, in anticipation, and have my frogtog at the ready for what is forecast as "feels like" at about 110 degrees, when we leave for the stadium, and, thankfully, a tick below 90, by end of game!

Severino, today and then I get to see them, in person, take on perhaps the best SP in all of MLB, currently, tomorrow, in a Porcello v Scherzer match-up, at Nationals Park...(ESPN game, where not blacked out, iirc)...
...and, while doing a little Sunday morning reading, noted former Sox draftee, Steven Pearce's signing's historic connection, to Kelly Johnson, being mentioned - that each are one of six, in MLB history, to play for every team in a Division, and those two are the only ones of the six, to do it in the same Division, the AL East.
So, Severino & Scherzer, b2b...that should be an interesting test.

Alex Speier @alexspeier 29m29 minutes ago
Since 1988, via the magic of @baseball_ref, most opposite-field HRs through age 21:
Correa: 9 A-Rod: 8 Devers/Harper/Cabrera: 7 Griffey: 6 Pujols: 5
(And yes: Juan Soto is on pace to pass them all before he turns 20.)

Is it me, or was that FOX narrative RE Benintendi's baserunning, implying it's not his physical tools, but more his "mental approach"?
(if you're watching/listening to FOX team)
