Kirilloff in the 3 spot.  Nice!

More Kepler in the 5 hole!  It worked last night!

Welcome back to the 9 spot, MAT!

[CRF]

At least Gallo is sitting...a few less K's to ring up. We need a bounce back from Ryan today!

[wsnydes]

Red Sox lineup added above.

[wsnydes]

Good start.

[wsnydes]

Correa.

Good start to the game gets better!

[Schmoeman5]

And better now 

[rwilfong86]

Nice beginning!

[Jocko87]

Dang rookies need to be getting on base, vets can't do it all themselves. 🤣

[wsnydes]

Buxton!

[Jocko87]

Somehow Correa only .960 xBA on his.  Reminds me of a great movie line.

Oh, yeah? Name one park in America that ball wouldn't have gone out of.  

[Schmoeman5]

Small complaint. But Red Sox runners have been taking extra bases all series. I'd have liked to see Kepler a little more aggressive on his gapper. It got cut off we'll but I thought 2 as soon as he hit it. So did Morneau

Yellowstone.

Ryan gets an atta boy so far.

[wsnydes]

Garza out for some more punishment.  This pleases me.

A shutdown inning is always good.

I don't know, but I'm not going to ask too many questions.

[Schmoeman5]

The official scorer has been very generous. I know Jeffers hit it well.  But that play has to be made

There's your aggressive base running

In the immortal words of Ric Flair, :"Now we going to school:.

[Brock Beauchamp]

This team looks exceedingly competent today. It’s making me uncomfortable. 

[wsnydes]

Heads up baserunning by Castro.

Agreed, but Julien also had an easier one the other night that was a hit as well.  Official scoring and umpires man.

Ssssh...I'm hoping that they don't notice that lest they start thinking about it.

Need one like this, now don't bone it up and use seven relievers.

[CRF]

I don't recognize this team right now. I hope they come to visit more often. 

[wsnydes]

In play, run(s)!!!!

[SwainZag]

Pinch hitting in the 2nd?  Something has to be wrong with Julien right?
