May the 4th NOT being with the Red Sox.

The Mrs saw this on FB. I guess it's actually a "thing" now. All kinds of T shirts and sweatshirts.

It looks like a bullpen game for the Red Sox today (if they play).

You have pre-coffee me to thank for that!

Does Pablo have a win as part of the streak? If not it's time to join the party on Pablo Jersey day. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Man, I want to watch the Twins try to increase the streak but also, the Cubs and Brewers are playing at the same time. I'll probably end up flipping back and forth a lot.

[Parfigliano]

Minor gripe.  I dont like Jeffers leadoff.

They really should blur out or censor his anatomy on the bottom, or throw some shorts on him! I'm offended!😉

I think you are seeing more of the picture than I am.

Kudos to Rocco for having Kepler and Julien in the lineup…there will likely be a new pitcher in by the time they reach Julien’s spot in the lineup.

Dropped 3rd strike comes back to bite

[stringer bell]

Snap. Buzzard's luck for López in the first inning.

The Rays 5th starter is the opener...

Apparently. What I don't understand is when to do it. I figure before an off day. Which isn't the case here. Or whoever throws tomorrow is penciled in for a minimum of 6 innings 

[IndianaTwin]

Speaking of summer sausage, I had some leftover brats in the fridge. The kids didn't like them, so Mrs. IT said to throw them out. 

So I did, but now what am I going to do with all the leftover brats? 

[Schmoeman5]

So during a bullpen game. Does Rocco make all his moves early or late? Or does he play a hunch. With no regard to his analytics.

Isn't when there's a vacancy in the rotation? I know the RSox put a starter on the IL recently. Today probably is that guy's day to pitch. The Red Sox have the best ERA in baseball and they are having problems getting five guys in the rotation.
