Cool angle

Interesting little watch on Kenzo's role getting scouting reports and such to Mune

Win 15 on 5/1, nice! Came on 5/20 last year. Date to beat for #16 is 5/23 and we're getting to the point where it's almost silly to keep tracking this. Their longest win streak (4) is now longer than their longest loss streak (3). W4 is the longest active win streak in the AL, T-2 in MLB. 7-3 in last 10 is best in the division, T-2 in MLB. Sox are 0.5 GB of DET for 2nd, 1 back of the division/WC (though CLE look likely to win tonight). Still only May, but boy is it nice to be closer to a playoff spot than MIN/KC in 4th/5th instead of way out of the race by now. Schultz' 4th ever start in the bigs, and he goes 6 shutty against a top 5 team. Special guy, love his composure to bounce back from a shaky first. M&M duo continues striking fear into the hearts of opposing pitchers. This is not gambling advice, but waiting for one to homer and then live betting on the other might be a viable strategy... I initially thought I'd be happy with stealing 1 in Petco, but starting the series like this has me feeling a little greedy...

Yeah, "can't take them with you" is clearly a team thing as Romo just did the same.

Just an AB, Colson was chilling in the dugout

Dang, would have been cool for him to hit 2 in a game on the same night as Okamoto

Bido is one of several guys who have been cycled through that spot on the roster, which is not something they could have done with Paez.

Bring this one home and get some extra looks at the Padres pen arms for the rest of the series

Give me 10 years of this

Great recovery from Schultz after the first

Career #30 for Colson!

He beats the tag and stays in contact with the bag the whole way Bad call cost them a run

I actually think he's safe there, but not sure they'll overturn

Padres are too good to coast on one big inning, would like to see the Sox add on with this next trip through the order.

They thought he wasn't ready for the league, turns out the league wasn't ready for him

God that ball 3 take into another HR is just Mune in a nutshell

Even though Padres have a good pen, it's still useful to make them work in game 1 if you can.

They are currently 5 and 6?

Wish he would try stealing a strike or two with the breaking stuff. If they aren't chasing it, try nicking the zone.
