Yaz hit that ball hard.

Pedro managed this game terribly. No excuse for Lynn to be out there this inning and at 100 pitches.

lmao

He’s been awful a week into the season

Done.  See ya tomorrow.

Well that sucks 

Out homered 11-1 in the series, by this San Francisco team.

So fucking bad.

Woof.

Well, wishful thinking these guys are mired in mediocrity all season and everyone finally gets fired at the end of the year and we finally get new leadership in here.

Still plenty of time, but I am not impressed with what I have seen outside of Cease so far.

That is a fair analysis of Kopech. I tend to think that he will figure it out and be a serviceable pitcher, but I don’t think he will be a star. I also think he could also belong in the pen, but they didn’t get another starter to allow him to be that. 
 

I’m optimistic Lynn also still has something in the tank, even if he’s fat and old.

I get those vibes too, but I still sense improvement coming that will change that narrative. There are signs that support a continuation of last year and a difference from then.

I'm with you, I was certainly over-reacting to Kopech's bad day, but I do agree he may be better suited for the pen long term which may help keep the velo up.  If he can start commanding the change up or learn a cutter or something to keep lefties off balance especially, he should be a very serviceable starter.

Hopefully if season goes bad enough, Jerry decides to sell

Miss me yet?

 

 

11-1 in HR’s pretty typical so Sox lack of power….Sox won’t hit 11 HR at home in a month

I got no issue with Lynn wearing it but Alberto hitting 5th is showing a Larussa faith in sub par players.  Alberto should hit 9th. 

I'm getting Bevington vibes from Grifol.

Even better.

People already bitching about "why was he still in there."

Relax the f*** up.  The starters are going to need to eat up innings , quickly.  Bullpen is running on fumes one week in because of the lack of SP innings.  

 

It's a marathon, not a sprint. 

Lol Jose Ruiz... Another punt

Dude he was getting bitchslapped. 

Still a lot of time to score 5 runs.

Ruiz about to have himself an outing considering the game is basically over already

It’s a marathon, so don’t have a guy who clearly had nothing today throw 100 pitches.  Also, the lack of a true long reliever in the bullpen is an issue.

Some great pitching by Ruiz.
