Bat on ball luck big time for Sox . Muncy couldn't field a short hop back hand play at 3rd base by Deling and Fletcher comes in all the way from 1st. Scored a double and 2 ribbies.

At some point shouldn't a "Nicky" go by "Nick?"

Yes.

So Schiffren is a big Bravo guy, huh...

Two walks, no K's, no easy first pitch outs, and smart baserunning put them in a position to benefit from BABIP luck in the first place. Taking advantage of the opportunities presented to you is good strategy. 

"Luck" is preparation meeting opportunity. 

I really want Toussaint to succeed.

Was hoping maybe Stassi could be flipped but f*** it, whatever.

Most of the time guys I talked about being flipped among the position players was Moncada and Eloy. Usually it was the pitchers I thought could be flipped if any of them can stand out.

Stassi was a decent starting catcher before he had his personal absence and injury issues. Figured maybe he'd have put them behind him but from what has been described here he looks rusty, at best. Atlanta has some of the best scouts in baseball, they probably knew he was toast.

Touki is Toast this Spring Training.

Not looking likely

Oh Touki...

Atlanta had him for less than 24 hours. Did they scout him taking his kid to the hospital? 

I'm guessing he's in great shape, and there were fist fights in the Braves front office once the trade was announced. 

That outcome felt inevitable.

Yep, he doesn’t look crisp at all

Brutal. Did that land yet?

Little setback there. Sox will come right back.

He cut his ERA by half from 108.00 to 54.00 today. LOLz

Was just watching Freeman hit against Touki and thinking Touki is just the kind of guy Freeman should crush but he swung through 2 pitches. Starting thinking maybe he'll make one of those 7 out of 10 outs .300 hitters make. Count went to 3-2 then he hit a granny ?

Oh yeah, this game is tied once again. Thank you Eloy!!!

Hi mom! 

I like annoying offense but I also like home runs

Hello Eloy!

Also, Schiffen's home run call needs work. A lot of work.

Eloy looks so damn good

I think I had the same thought process!

Eloy bombs away! 2 run HR ties it . 7 -UP
