They are right. We noticed during the game. Make sure the field was dry and even dragged extra times before the Sox were in the field.

They are right though. The rain was really coming down in the second day inning when the Sox were hitting.

Yeah, day game after night game McGuire will catch.

After the injuries last night it's probably mendick at second and leury in left. Unless Mcguire catches.

Moved to the stadium club, getting a little wet.

It's 4 games.

It could be. He sucked last year and got to 162.

He is a nice LH power option to give Vaughn a day off against tough RHP, like yesterday.

They can't afford to skip anyone now. There are 2 starters short.

China?

Hopefully that's it.

The Sox should be embarrassed starting Velasquez and thus lineup. ?

If he is judged getting a pass for his 4 game sample size, he should be awarded the gold glove for the same reason.

Agreed. I don't think the first 4 games will be indicative of the rest if the season.

I was thinking games played including pinch hitting. For starts I'll go with 135.

My prediction. People over react to early season trends.

Barring injury Vaughn will play 140 games this year.

That is the best case with the hammy.

Nice.

Good question. I'm not sure if it's total innings or regular season innings.

True. But again. At the time of the Keuchal signing, Rodon wasn't all that great either. So it wasn't sign, Keuchal or Rodon. It was sign Keuchal or Wheeler. Rodon was an after thought at that point.

Thursday starter?

He hit 162 last year and he was bad.

That's possible. If he doesn't the decision is easy and he won't hit the innings mark anyway. Unfortunately, I highly doubt the starting pitching doesn't miss anymore time after Giolito and Lynn return. If Cueto doesn't pitch well they may be stuck.

I know you really like Rodon but he was never excellent prior to last year. When they signed Keuchal he was an decent pitcher who could never stay healthy. There was never an excellence about him.
