Please, gentlemen, obtain a jolly good win in today's baseball contest.

There were a few immediate Twitter posts that said he broke his wrist. I'm glad that this isn't the case. Hopefully he'll only miss a few games and be back. I wouldn't be surprised to see an IL stint, though.

Maybe this team responds well to being treated like crap. Continue swearing at them!

Foster looked really good last night. I was concerned when Rodon was done after 2, but the pen saved the day again. Jose continues to do Jose things - you know, drive in meaningless RBIs. Robert is just a damn good ball player. And as a side note, anyone who continues to b**** about the season being played should sign off SoxTalk until 2021.

I wasn't talking about Aaron Judge. I know he has been hitting home runs like most hitters hit singles. My point was that if a guy like Robert was on the Yankees, he would be getting a lot more attention than he does. Same goes for Eloy and Moncada. It's nice to have a team like this. It's been a long-ass time since we've had a team this exciting. The Sox, and their players, will not get the attention they deserve until they win a World Series. And judging by the fact that ESPN repeatedly forgets that 2005 was a year, they may still not get the attention they deserve.

Could you imagine how much coverage guys like Robert, Eloy, and Moncada would be getting if they were on the Yankees, Red Sox, or Dodgers? It's so refreshing to have a team like this.

Okay, Nicky.

There's a much higher likelihood that the season finishes. The Marlins situation was a wake up call for the league. We'll still see positive tests, but I don't think we'll see another Marlins situation. There are no players, coaches, or owners that want the season to be cancelled. It's in their best interest to abide by the rules to keep everyone healthy.

Bullpen did a great job, but they were used heavily. Hopefully they won't need to dip into those resources as often going forward. Last thing we need is to deplete the bullpen because the starters can't go more than 5 innings.

Pitching, aside from Colome’s agonizingly slow and sloppy ninth, was excellent. Grandal and Eloy with nice at-bats when needed. And Robert’s 2 RBI single was huge. Nice win.

Robert is so much better than I bet many expected. That was a great AB. Didn’t try to do anything crazy. Just hit the ball.

Where's Nicky? 🤪

Hopefully there's enough time for him to become awesome. I'm optimistic.

Yeah, the 1-4 start in a 60 game season is the equivalent of a 3-13 or 4-12 start in a 162 game season...considering 10% of the season gone. Time for this team to get serious.

Moncada, Anderson, Abreu, Robert, Detwiler (shiver), and Keuchel have all looked good. Eloy looked good at the plate and lost in the field, especially after smoking his coconut on the wall.
