Boston's starting pitching is awful except for Porcello who we miss. However their closer is lights out so we do not want to get to the ninth behind. Obviously they hit the hell out of the ball. Ironically, they also lead the majors in stolen bases which is totally out of character for a Red Sox team.

Eaton, Rollins, Abreu, Frazier, Cabrera, Lawrie, Sands, Navarro, Jackson

 

Betts, Pedroia, Bogaerts, Ortiz, Ramirez, Shaw, Young, Hanigan, Bradley

Haven't paid attention to the Red Sox this season but that lineup doesn't seem too powerful. Not that scared

They have a good lineup but they just beat up on a struggling Yanks staff,nothing to brag about.i think Sox shut em down

Perfect that we miss Porcello and Price.

Yea I'm checking them out right now- holy crap Papi is raking. They have quite a few short guys in the lineup

Yea I haven't seen a run like this since I think Heads back in 2005.

 

I did win us a World Series. 14-1 record in game threads starting on September 28. Call me when this guy does it in the clutch.

 

Taking my little brother to the game right now. Hoping to see some run support for Q tonight, maybe it's just Dickey but hoping our successes against him translate to other knuckleballers, especially back at home. Wouldn't mind to see Abreu continue to right the ship.

Not related to this game, but I'm super excited because, for my b-day, my wife got us tickets to the May 10th game vs. the Rangers in Arlington. Rodon pitching, I think?

 

Of course, my wife is a Rangers fan, so when we pounded Noesi in the ninth a few years ago, and Oswalt a few years before that, I had to keep my usual excitement rather subdued. Maybe it's just me, but it seems that all of our blowouts come against the Rangers...

 

Anyways, go Sox!

I really hope the Sox get to Wright early and often.

 

Knuckleballers tend to be more vulnerable early in the game, so that is the time to pile it on.

Highly doubt here will be more than 20 k here based off early returns in the park

Let's start this home stand off right! Hopefully they're recharged after the day off and kick some Red Sox ass

Looks like you may be correct.

Boy did Cleveland jump all over Verlander tonight 7-2 tribe

Highly doubt here will be more than 20 k here based off early returns in the park

 

Pathetic attendance...thought it be at least 5k more

Nice inning Q. Let's see if we can start fast against this knuckleballer

Jose crushed that! 1-0 on the triple

Jose!

Abreu kills knucklers

Hey the scoreboard is fixed

Abreu has a good shot at hitting for the cycle tonight.

Frazier a little jumpy in that first at bat. Needs to let the ball get to him

Q's pitch count is gonna force him out of the game pretty quickly. f***ing Boston....

I like the parts where we look competent.

They've always worked the counts well. Especially in the AL East it seems because they play such long games. Particularly between the Yanks and Sox.

This team is really drawing walks more now. That's great to see.
