I'm out. Not in the mood to see us try to hit Sale. Hopefully my absence will again help us rally.

Great jinx by the way Gregory.

Another CS

Yoan is surprisingly just not good at stealing bases 

He was good in the minors. It's very odd it hasn't translated up here.

DiMaggio was an incredible hitter.  790 BB to only 369 Ks. One of the best hitter ever.

Something I’ve noticed, and I know you have also, is he doesn’t do a good job of picking good times to run. There’s been countless times that a righty reliever with a slow release was on the mound and he didn’t run. This is something Anderson is phenomenal at doing.

Wow you don't see Betts miss those mistakes often.

Lopez is really impressive since the 1st inning.

Yes speed is a different skill than baserunning and stealing bases.

Completely agree. I wish at this point Ricky double steals him and whoever is in front of him who gets on base (usually Leury or Timmy) to get his SB% back up.

Yup. I'll take this start from him against this Boston team any day of the week. At least one more solid inning would be great.

Excellent rebound by Lopez.  Outside of a rough 1st, seems like this was another excellent start.

Bunt here please.

Nice acting job, I can't believe Castillo got away with that. 

Cordell just isn’t a major leaguer

Cordell not hitting at all

They don't have a viable option for RF. 

Sale gets to face 2 AAA hitters right after Castillo. Lucky guy.

Engel lol

Neither is Engel.

Stupid commentator saying how crappy Sale is the 2nd time through lineups then ensues to strikeout the next 2.

AAA and A ball hitters 

Cordell, Engel, Garcia just cannon fodder for Sale. Sox should pay fans too watch this ?
