Strange how things work out. If not for Eddies injury then Wright wouldnt be in the rotation to start the season.

If anything he's struggling from the stretch, but that's not exactly surprising to hear.

I still can't locate the ball from Hanley's HR. I see it bounce off the tower, but before that, can't find it on the footage.

What I find most encouraging is they look really good and this is with Price rocking a high 6 ERA and Eddie not making a start yet so in theory they will only get better.

Even better it's not like two or three guys are carrying the offense. Outside of the catcher spot their worst hitter, betts, has been league average. I don't expect them to average six runs a game, but they're clearly a top 5 offense in the league.

I'm no Clemens fan. I think he's an egotistical blowhard. But I'm glad he's mended fences with the Red Sox.

the big difference between price tonight and price this year is he's not getting crushed with men on base.

Betts, the weak link in the Sox lineup so far, is on pace for 28 HR and 35 SB

Lineup is stacked

Kinda want to short the Sox tbh. This seems like super run hot.

Odd question. Anyone ever try walking into Fenway after like the 7th inning? So many people just walk out, probably not hard to get a ticket stub if they even care. Or is it a stamp thing?

Don't know what it is like now. My first ever time in fenway was in 2000, my friend and I were on our way to a show on landsdown when we saw people flooding out in the 6th and we just swam upstream. Ended up with great seats up the 3rd base line.

Oh it def is. I think every single offensive player outside of betts and catcher is playing at best case scenario. There is regression coming. Do I still think they're the best team in the AL? Yeah I do.

the pitching is about what we can expect. Price is obv much better but I expect wright and porcello to regress quite a bit. If I had to set a number on total wins for the season I'd say 90-92.
