To expand on what Hernandez said on mic on Sunday, we're not going to go the whole season with CF and RF hitting a combined .000. I mean, what's the old adage about a good #9 hitter extending the lineup? Well we have a leadoff hitter who has no hits. That's going to extend the dreadful bottom of the order.

Yeah I hear you on Crawford, but Diekman in the 9th last night? Man, that was nice. Mixing 95 MPH with 80 MPH, with all kinds of movement.

The Sox have this Cordero guy who had a .931 in AAA last year and is at 1.237 this year. They should bring him up and give him a shot!

- Garrett Whitlock (did anyone catch why he wasn’t used on Sunday night?) signed a 4 year deal this weekend. That’s pretty encouraging. I’m curious if the Sox have a long term plan in mind for him or if they are going to keep riding the bullpen thing with the possibility of using him as a starter or if they are going to say “no, he is a starter/reliever.”

The radio guys were saying they only wanted to use him for 1 ip in the first game because they planned for him to pitch multiple innings behind Hill. Having used him for 2+ on Friday, I'm not surprised they stayed away from him Sunday.

Thanks Darren. That makes some sense.

Long press on the e key (actually for any letter) will bring up the accents on the iPad/iPhone. #AngloQCskills

Yeah but I'm actually using a bluetooth keyboard with it and I don't know how to do it. On my computer at work I know Alt+0233 gets me there (or should I say géts mé théré).

Enrique is a good angle.

If a Bluetooth keyboard on iPad behaves like a keyboard and a Mac, it's hold Option and E, release and then press E again.

Oh awesome! Thanks I haven't tried that!!!

Arroyo looked awful on a ball hit off the wall, then made a nice catch sliding on one knee coming in on a ball.

You know which Red Sox OF also sucked at fielding balls hit over his head, but made good plays on balls hit in front of him? Jim Rice. Just as an aside, I'm not further comparing Arroyo to Rice.

Certainly not the end record we were hoping for, but at the same time it could have easily been 3-0 Boston. All competitive games and the offense should be better than it's been so far.

Signed, eternally optimistic.

Not great news on the Xander/Devers front: According to Heyman, the Sox and each of these guys are $100 million (maybe more) apart. The Sox reportedly offered Xander 4 years/$90 million, which sounds very low to me. With Devers, he's apparently looking for a "Red Sox for life"-type deal and they want to go shorter. That sounds more reasonable to me, depending on the money.

Well, it is only a week into the 2022 season, and if anybody was thinking that the Red Sox infield of the future was going to involve minor league wunderkinds Nick Yorke and Marcelo Mayer...they've done nothing to change that view:

Nick Yorke is hitting .400 so far in high-A (8-for-20), just turned 20 on April 2nd.
Marcelo Mayer is hitting .455 so far in low-A (10-for-22), turned 19 last December.

These two guys are on a bullet train for Boston.

I am fired up for tomorrow. Haven’t been to Opening Day since 2019. I probably hadn’t missed consecutive Opening Days since the 80s.
