Boston Series 4/9 - 4/11

[Spy Fox]

The Red Sox are 7-3 after getting their AL west coast trip out of the way at the very beginning of the season. 2-2 @Seattle, 3-0 @Oakland, 2-1 @LA Angels. 

• Tuesday 2:10pm: Corbin Burnes RHP vs Brayan Bello RHP
• Wednesday 7:10pm: Cole Irvin LHP vs Nick Pivetta RHP
• Thursday 7:10pm: Grayson Rodriguez RHP vs Kutter Crawford RHP

Red Sox pitching is off to an excellent start with a league leading 1.49 ERA. But last year the O's knocked around Red Sox pitching to a 5.58 ERA. Let's see if Fenway gets our bats back on track.

And the weather looks terrible for the game I have tickets to (Thursday). Figures.

Gotta take 2/3 and the offense has to wake up.

Yes, I'm aware that it's still April.

It’s funny when people act like games in April don’t matter.

What they're saying is that you have time to make them up.  And that's true, you do have time to make them up.

I like our chances with Burnes/Rodriguez going. Hoping to see a couple starts each for O'Hearn and Cowser and to see Gunnar do his mashing righties things to get the lineup's groove back.

Sure but you don’t want to dig a hole that you can’t climb out of.

They would be wrong, and it is not true that you are able to make up losses that have already happened.

Orioles face three RHP.. they've been awful vs LHP, especially Henderson...but lets face it, Orioles havent been great against many of the starters  right or left they've faced with only a few exceptions...im getting restless.

The Sox rotation for the series will have to change as Pivetta just hit the IL with an elbow strain. 

[Say O!]

Let’s hope the batters exhibit a bit more patience at the plate, rather than just hunting ANY fastball in the zone.  Seems like only Adley, OHearn, and Mounty are having quality takes.

[Just Regular]

Raise your hand if you are surprised the Red Sox have added a generic left handed reliever to the roster for the series.

[interloper]

That's more like it. 2-hit the Sox on their home opener.

Let's sweep these bums.

Cole Irvin vs. whoever is replacing Pivetta tomorrow.  Battle of the Titans!
