Do we know exactly which Red Sox (or other AL East) players are unvaccinated? I'd loved to know who is losing the most salary.

As long as the percentage of decrease in consumption is not larger than the percentage of increase in price, prices will continue to go up.

Giants 7? Nobody learned from last year.

TWO FUCKING HITS against a bunch of relievers

I have Engel in the PTC and so far I'm winning.

Our 3 runs per game offense isn't going to cut it today. Can this lineup win an 8-7 game?

No, but the point is that low strikeouts and high OBP are not correlated.

Sox have the lowest K rate in MLB at 6.25/game. So what? It's led to an AVG that's 13th in MLB, an OBP that's 27th, a SLG that's 16th, and a BB rate that's dead last. Yes, it's a SSS and yes, the Sox have been playing almost exclusively in cold weather that kills fly balls, but the "high contact" approach only works if it produces results other than a low K rate. Pitching has allowed < 3 runs per game, yet they've had to hold on for three 1-run wins. Anderson, Burger, Vaughn and Engel are the only guys with > 10 PA and an OBP > .300

I don't have a problem with Engel in RF. The bigger problem is Sheets at DH over Vaughn. Yeah the guy "starting" is a RHP but he's going 3 innings at most and you're going to get a mix of LH and RH after that so might as well go with your better hitter rather than trying to play the platoon advantage.

It's Sunday and Leury isn't in the lineup---a true Easter miracle!

Barring injuries to all of Harrison, Garcia, and Romy, neither Moncada nor Burger is moving to 2B this season. Not if there's one Soxtalk thread about it. Not if there are five Soxtalk threads about it. Not if there are fifty Soxtalk threads about it. Maybe if we get to 51 threads about it, then the Sox will consider it.

RHP JP Feyereisen (0-0, 0.00) vs RHP Vince Velasquez (0-0, 2.25) Happy Easter! ✝️

Trading Madrigal for Kimbrel ended up getting us a RF.

Baez beat Sox with walkoff hit--injures himself Haniger homers in win over Sox--gets COVID Beating the Sox is dangerous.

I'm thinking TA and Eloy get the day off, Vaughn in LF, Engel in RF, Leury at 2B, Sheets at DH.

I think the exchange rate is 32 games in China = 8 games US

Ugh, he was just in Chicago. Hope this doesn't hit any of our guys.

Might have worked in November, but you're not going to get anywhere near full value trying to trade someone in April.

No reliever is perfect. Can't take a 1 run lead to the 9th and expect it to hold every time.

Why is Engel not in?

Sousa marched right through the top of their order.

More likely just that TB has lefty-switch-lefty up this inning.

Would be tempted to PH Sheets here.

They should have listened to me.
