This would be a colossal fail to lose this game

Given it's so cold today, they should start a campfire in the dugout and toss Santander's glove in it.

Best comment of the day so far!

Man why couldn't we get an easy win

[interloper]

Enormous strikeout.

Fenway. It never fails. Just gotta hope you can hang onto a lead in this park.

Looks like Hays is picking off where he left off from last season. He can’t even get the ball out of the infield. He constantly tops the ball. 

Well, in between he had a strong spring training.

Nice depth on that last slider by Gillaspie. It really did look like a split-finger (Like Palmer said), but he doesn't throw one.

[tntoriole]

Game one and we already see the absence of Tate and Givens .. 

[Frobby]

I guess we still need insurance runs, the way this has gone.  

[Tony-OH]

Let's get those two back.

Well, one of our concerns has reared it's ugly head. The bullpen is going to be sketchy as hell. You never know which guy is going to just crap the bed. Today's it was Baker, though he wasn't helped out at all by Santander looking like it's his first game ever in LF.

At least Akin and Perez delivered as wished.

They now are classifying that pitch as the curveball. Which it did look more like a curveball then slider with no horizontal movement.

And spring training stats aren't very important.

Ouch, bad luck there.

Not really.   If Gillaspie or Baumann sucks then we are feeling the loss of those guys.
