I really hope Nunez is not on this roster at the end of the year

JBJ can be kept in the lineup if he hits .200. We had Leon last year at .177 because he was good defensively, the pitchers loved him and he was good in the clubhouse. The same applies to JBJ. How he hit 27 hrs. a few years ago will remain as much a mystery as Leon's .310 year. True I had hoped JBJ would be better based on last year's second half and reports of re-tooling his swing. Unfortunately I have to accept that he is what he is. He swings over the top grounding into the shift almost automatically. We have to accept him as he is or we will be forever frustrated. I think playing him only against righties, pinch hitting for him late game regardless of pitcher and in tough spots would be good for the team, and him. JBJ has been a career reverse split guy, that wouldn't make sense to keep him in versus only RHP. That's not actually true. I'm not sure where you're getting that from but his OPS is about 70 points higher vs RHP. Most of that difference is slugging, but he certainly hasn't been better vs lefties.

Cora not double switching and taking out Nunez when he was already planning on having Lin PH last inning is why he didn't win MOTY last season.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the best start so far through 2 innings of any start by a Sox pitcher belongs to none other than Hector Velazquez. Both ERod and Porcello got through the first 2 scoreless their last start. Velazquez is now the first to go 3 scoreless, however.

Maybe it is just me? I know it is the home opener Tuesday but they have Monday and Wednesday off. They only play 1 of the next 3 days after today. If I am Cora.... my whole team is in there today (starting) and Sale is toeing the mound today. I dont care about rest for anyone today. That makes zero sense with 2 of the next 3 days off. I also do not care about Sale starting the home opener. They're in an NL park... someone has to sit.

Saltalamacchia in the booth tonight. He got a fairly atrocious looking man-bun. (I can’t help it, the 53 yo guy in me just can’t buy into that as a real hairstyle for men.) Don't worry, the 26 yo guy in me had the same reaction to seeing him during the open.

Nunez is remarkably bad at baseball

It seems like a crime that the Red Sox never tested out Roenis Elias in the majors for all the time they had him. A lefty that throws 95? C'mon. They did... He had a 12.38 ERA in 8 innings.

Red Sox played 2 games worth of not great baseball tonight and walked away with 1 loss. Dodgers are overrated.

Who is more likely to survive this game, Nunez or us?

Remember in Price's introductory presser, he said he had been saving his postseason wins for Boston, and everyone laughed. And then for two years, people brought it up to mock him. But he wasn't wrong.

You've heard of the intentional walk, but the 2018 Red Sox will be remembered for the invention of the intentional 2 outs.

Pretty hard to believe the Ump is actually less blind than the pitcher in that situation.

Kelly being a relief ace in the first half, throwing BP in the 2nd half, and shape-shifting back into that relief ace in the playoffs is the ultimate long con.

Hey, Kinsler actually making solid contact is a trend in the right direction.
