Look at those OPS+ numbers we're putting up!

Lol who cleared that clip of Moncada?

Painfully swinging, drooling on himself and barely getting a piece of a bp fastball ?

Good bounce back by Kopech

Rushing him back when he's not 100% has disaster written all over it

Pollock is like a completely different player, post Paternity leave/return.

Whoever is controlling the score on NBCSports has been awful this year.

Legitimately seems like they'll have the wrong name up to bat at least once every inning

Looks like he’s starting his leg kick way too early

That Leury OPS+ is my favorite part of the statsheet.

Good lord Leury.  Did half these guys just quit taking steroids this offseason

BTW, losing today's game would make no sense if Sox, beaten up as they are, truly are a contender. At home against a miserable division opponent,. Cmon baby just win.

p.s. Are there any more fans there today than yesterday? I saw a pic in the first inning of Wednesday game and NO WAY there were 1,000 fans there for the first inning at least. I mean you could send somebody down there to count fans. 12,000 fans? Cmon. there were 500 fans there at most (unless it was fake news photo, doctored, photo shopped).

Sox did a great job of jump starting the season for the Twins.  

Brad Keller looking like Pedro Martinez against us.........although we make a lot of pitchers look like that these days.

The beat goes on with this crap!!

Forgot how good Keller was /s

It's sad how badly I want to see *Yolbert Sanchez* playing every day on what's supposed to be one of the best teams in baseball

Twins simply can't do anything wrong right now.

And Lance Lynn not being back until the end of May instead of mid-may not exactly the greatest of news.

I never knew you could have a negative OPS+, Leury Legend teaches me something new today.

I just looked at other pitchers and only one is down across the board and as much as the Sox pitchers are. 

The only other staff that is having similar issues is Philly. 

Giolito is down 1 full mph, Cease 0.6 mph, Kopech 1.8 mph. 

Wheeler is down 2.0(injured) and Nola is down 0.7

Sox can never throw strikes against Santana

sox pitchers are really scared of Santana

The fact that Cease is seemingly having a breakout year makes it a lot easier as a fan to be patient when Kopech when has control struggles or runs up the pitch count early and to be happy with the flashes of greatness we see.

 

EDIT: Or when he hangs a juicy slider.....

Season ticket holders are included, so it's tickets sold.

Fwiw, Tigers are out drawing the Sox by 2500 per game and we are about 1000 clear of Minnesota although they are certain to get a big bounce when the weather improves.

Gonna guess that's due almost entirely to the fact the Sox haven't played in a single warm weather city yet

Never was going to be mid-May
