Where's our Victor Diaz?

You have watched Sox outfield play the last 2-3 seasons? It's more surprising when the right fundamental play is correctly made.

Now we can go back to worrying about Keuchel's 160 innings and Cueto's ticking recall option for May 15th.

Burr coming in and giving up a bomb would have been criticized too. As Stone mentioned, our "good bullpen" guys are running on fumes at this point.

Leury Leury Leury. Have to keep that runner at first. Not winning baseball. Got away with it, fortunately.

Thought this was from Balta, lol. Here in China all the time effort and resources currently invested into disinfecting surfaces is a huge topic of conversation.

Keuchel living on a prayer at the moment. More great infield defense from Harrison.

He also can't hit high fastballs out of the zone...

Luckily there were no politicians in the crowd trying to get election year airtime.

Thank god it's not Cease, Kopech or Giolito getting delayed. But you know that Keuchel will somehow get affected and blame that for throwing him off his game.

Bill Walton is in town. Get him on, too.

Verdugo's ego and this wrestling Kardashian are almost diametrically opposed opposites. Annoying !!!

Going three man now. Apparently no back up/alternate in house.

Expected him to say Dunkin' Donuts...or something about lobster or clam chowder.

Hmmm...Red Sox broadcast said he had none the other day, so I'd have to check it. Are they really playing Gasolina fifteen years too late?

Just cancel the rest of the game and keep the interview going for two more hours...

Is Grandal, otoh, going to throw anyone out the entire season?

Did he think Billy Hamilton was up instead?

How much time does he realistically spend working on push or drag bunts?

Sheets is just completely lost if he's trying to beat outta bunt for a hit. Just send him to Charlotte to play every day.

I know that winning games in May against a team looking for ways to lose is more important than giving playing time to someone who won't be on the roster in October.

Tim Anderson is 3/3 with a homer against Houck but not in the lineup.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/batvspitch/_/id/41009/tanner-houck Anderson and Abreu have done the best against Houck…removing Wacha from the equation, we have at least a 40% chance to win now. https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/gamelog/_/id/41009/tanner-houck He was very good in April but destroyed by the Angels last time out, gave up 7 runs to kick his ERA way up.

1. NL West +27 (W/L differential) +80 (RS/RA) 2. AL East +10 +13 3. AL West -2 +18 4. NL East -7 +6 5. AL Central -12 -47 6. NL Central -16 -70

Need Leury in LF and Engel in RF…that’s the toughest right field to play in the entire majors. Even last year, the lineup was twice as imposing despite Robert and Jimenez being out. Seems almost hopeless at times. So in theory, Wacha is due for a lousy start today just like Pivetta had his best yesterday. Or Keuchel just by the law of averages will finally have a decent start.
