Would love to see a quick DFA for Ruiz after this game. Prove to this team and players that  performing is paramount. You suck, you're gone.

I think this is the end of Ruiz

-9 run differential

Or just -1 on the road in Houston but without Altuve/Brantley.

A laugher. This was a great way to get Sox fans to keep coming back to the park.

The ownership doesn't care. 

Yeah time to move on from Ruiz. This is just an amazing bullpen Rick put together.

You know, if Kopech and Ruiz don’t pitch today, the Sox win this game.  It’s a long season guys.  Baby steps.  Metaphor.  Another metaphor

Nope, anything to make Tony not look like he underachieved 

Well, chalk it up to one of those days. 

Sox will get them tomorrow. 

Hanser Alberto to the rescue.

This is the end, my only friend the end, of our elaborate plans, the end, I'll never...

Lol - this is giving me flashbacks of Comiskey II opening day. Deflating ?

Bullpen ERA over 9 for the season?

Ruiz looked great in the WBC. I was hoping the Sox had a nice surprise this year. Not good.

I suppose the good news is that this only counts as one loss.

With no Harrison, Leury or Mendick who is the Sox position player pitcher?

Alberto

I didn't know it was free home run day for the Giants...

Dude throws nothing but sliders!

Don’t underestimate the impact the crowd and adrenaline had on guys in the WBC

Hanser Alberto has already outproduced 2022 Leury.

Alberto almost got one up to 70 mph.

At least top out in the low 80's.

He’s coming for Kopech

Tigers that day?  Three plus decades ago flies by.

Rob Deer?

Early test for Grifol to see how the team responds after this one.

Tommorow will be good. Granted they don't play.....
