So it's one of the Rays' bullpen games?

Looks like it. In his other start, they limited him to 54 pitches. If we get deep into counts and stay patient, he could be gone in the 3rd.

I bet on the Sox lets go!

 

I also bet on the run line.

He'll have 54 pitches through 5.

Forbes valuations came out today. Yankees $4 billion. Sox $1.5 billion. Not bad.

Maybe JR will sell the team now. $1.5 billion is a lot of moola.

It that is what you are hoping, you are going to be a bit disappointed. Why would he sell at this point? I could see if he was in his 50s or 60s and had a great chance of enjoying 20 more years of life with that windfall, but he's in his 80s, and this is pretty fun for him. He will die owning both teams.

Expected a better turnout with this weather. I was wrong

Honestly the one thing that stands out to me is with the changes in tax laws, there is less incentive than ever to sell before he dies.

I can't wait until the James Shields era is over.

Watching Shields pitch is like watching paint dry.

 

But at least it's only a couple more months, maybe less if the prospects perform in the minors.

Sox runs today: over/under- 3.5

3 walks already. This is really getting ridiculous.

To be fair Narvaez isn't doing him any favors. The way he receives the ball low just looks awkward.

Avi looks like old Avi right now, he's guessing up there.

Please... begging for a win today.

I really don't remember the games being this painful last year. Huh.

4th walk in 1+ ip lol

Avi looks like old Avi right now, he's guessing up there.

 

Avi's approach at the plate has been the most discouraging part of this home-stand to me. Hoping it's just a passing thing. He looked good in KC/TOR.

STAAAAAHHHHHHHP

 

WALKING

 

PEOPLE

There is nothing worse than watching ball 4 after ball 4.

I really don't remember the games being this painful last year. Huh.

 

Better weather today, but I think it’s bad all over baseball because of the tough weather. Just have to hope things look a little cleaner in a couple weeks and they get a few wins before then.
