Welp

Quero diving across the plate on a low fastball down the middle.

Damn thought Lenyn had that one. Ball is not carrying in this weather.

Newcomb doesn't have much control today either.

Living on the edge in this one!

Oh ok. Couldn't tell who's at third. Looks like it's Murray. My bad!

Yea I'm not buying the improved defense from Vargas.

0 runs off the guy with a 6 ERA, 2 runs off the guy with a 1-something ERA on bloops, and Benintendi swinging at a pitch that hit his back shoulder. Baseball!

I feel like that was about the only way we were gonna score off Rogers

I don't think I've ever seen a guy swing at a pitch and get hit by it in the back shoulder.

This is what they've been doing a lot since they took a tumble in the standings last year. They're way too aggressive.

Quero is bad at challenges

I am so surprised he got out of that after 12 pitches. Whew.

His control is WILD

Quero couldn’t touch the fastball. Yeesh.

About the best you can hope for from Benintendi right now

Could it cost the Sox a win or two pitching Taylor in the first? Probably. Does that matter if they’re trying to give him consistent work to hit a certain innings count and prep him to be a starter? Not in my opinion.

I have to imagine when Ishbia takes over he's going to clean house with people like Boyer.

"Don't do what I did"

Just like we all expected - sweep the AL World Series pretty easily.

I'd be fine with that. He threw 36 innings last year so that'd get him into the 70s. Maybe have a few 2 inning outings to get him close to 100 innings.

I'm not an Acuna fan but I'm surprised people are like "OMG we could have gotten Vientos!". Guy is 26 with one solid season under his belt two years ago and is arbitration eligible next season. He'd be swapping CF Robert for 3B/1B Robert. At least Acuna is younger and can maybe possibly play CF.

Need to get to a Jumbo Shrimp game when they play the Knights.

Yeesh. Looks like a good thing I forgot about the early start today. Hopefully Smith gets back to at least 4th/5th starter quality or this is gonna be a really rough year.

Real rough loss. Brewers are real good, at home, and seem hot at the start of the season. Let's see if they beat on the next team they play like this too. Hopefully just ran into them at the wrong time. Nice to see the offense wake up. Hope they can keep that momentum.
