Okay, great comeback win on Saturday night. Extremely quick turnaround though so getting this thread going the night before. We are going for the sweep and SIX in a row! Odds aren't entirely in our favor with Kuechel (1-3, 8.40 era) up against Wacha (3-0, 1.38 era). But I'm as optimistic as anyone!

First pitch 10:35 CT on Sunday morning. You can watch on Peacock or NBC (not NBCSC...the actual NBC channel).

Let's get a sweep!

What is the reasoning for the early gametime?

Bullshit Peacock broadcast. 

Easy win.

It certainly is if you're in CA/WA/OR.

Games are won in three places: on the field, on the practice field, and on the message boards. Right now, you're carrying your water and then some -- keep up the good work.

The Sox are smart. Winning the series before Kuechel takes the mound. This should always  be done before Gas Can starts.

If Kuechel gets annihilated to the point of losing his spot in the rotation, I'm still counting it as the 6th win in a row.

This happened last year when we played Boston. I think it was due to some kind of festival they do in Boston every year. I don't know if that's the same reason for today's early start though.

I think last year it was because of Patriots’ Day/Boston Marathon.  That already happened this year…I believe this early start can be blamed on the peacock broadcasting nonsense.

Last year, it was on a Monday and it was for that day they run the Boston Marathon (forgot what they call that day) which already happened. I think it’s because it’s the Peacock Sunday game.

If it’s a blowout early, you can always switch to Konnor Pilkington vs. the vaunted Blue Jays offense in CLE.

Hope they have the game on at church.

It's OK to start Keuchel provided Plan B is ready in the bullpen after one or two innings. He was also a victim of leaky gloves. He needs a miracle fix from Coach Katz. 

Hopefully this is Kuechels last start.

Hopefully he does great so it's not. But if he gets lit up again, I agree. At some point, it makes no sense basically forfeiting all his starts.

Dog it to first, not get pulled from the game and be rewarded with leading off the next game. Nice.

Stay in bed everyone,  it's the literal Sunday line up 

 

Was totally expecting this lineup today

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.

Wait, -132 for the Sox to score first?  That would imply that Boston is +115 or so and that seems like easy money.
