Hanley batted .571 against the Astros in last year’s ALDS. This year, he started 44 games. The Sox won 34 of those games. Just wanted to put that somewhere.
-
It is, but it's still surprising to see it happen this early in the season. He was slumping big time (and Cora frustratingly kept hitting him 3rd), but he still had a decent line vs lefties (.333/.378/.476). I'm not the biggest fan of the move - I would've liked to see him just platoon with Moreland for the time being - but I think it's the front office going over Cora's head by doing this. Had Hanley hit 497 plate appearances this year, his option for 2019 (at $22 million) becomes automatic. The Sox are partly doing this now to avoid that from happening (or having it become a distraction later in the year). I don't agree, but I understand.

Pesky details... Anyways, it sounds like Romo will start the Friday and Sunday games. A different reliever - Ryne Stanek - will start on Saturday. Still, weird things afoot in Tampa.
-
Rays’ manager Kevin Cash allegedly plans on starting Sergio Romo again... three days in a row — versus the Orioles. If it happens, it would be the first time in MLB history a pitcher starts three consecutive games in a row.
-
What are there, like, 6 days off between games 2 & 3? WTF?!? Are they traveling by horseback or something?
-
J.D. Martinez since the start of 2017: 161 games played 114 runs scored 58 home runs 142 runs batted in .315/.382/.683 405 total bases
-
Calling it now: the JD Martinez signing was a good one.
-
For the cord cutters... any recommendations on how to watch this?
-
nine inch nails - 10/30/1994, at the Fair Park Coliseum in Dallas. I was 13, so my dad chaperoned me & my buddies. Marilyn Manson opened (before he was a thing). Bad-ass concert. Still will remember it 'till the day I die.
-
Spike Lee definitely is past his prime... but this seems like a funny enough premise without being too haughty and in-your-face (Chi-Raq) as some of his other recent films.
-
So... Carson Smith may have given himself a "major shoulder injury" throwing his glove last night?!? Fucking great.
-
Valhalla is legit. Pretty sure they've moved on from Pearl, but it's still damn cheap. Like $1.20 for a beer last I recall. Especially great when the weather is nice and you can hang out on the patio tables (since it still smells pretty rank downstairs).
-
Mookie Betts through 39 games: .356/.435/.780 (1.215 OPS) with 13 HR, 29 XBHs, 41 runs, 27 RBI and 5 SB. He might very well be the best player in baseball.
-
So... maybe some bullpen help is needed sometime soon? FAHKIN HELL, DAHMBRAHSKI...
-
That was an infuriating game last night. Kimbrel is "on" about 97% of the time, but when he's "off"... he falls off a cliff. (His numbers on recording 4+ out saves are not the best, btw.)
-
I can't wait for this season to be finally over.
-
Speaking of Price, he has carpal tunnel syndrome. Been typing at the keyboard too long, apparently...
-
Price is afraid of the MFYs. His "hand numbness" is being evaluated. Porcello is being moved up tonight, and E-Rod pitches tomorrow.
-
Curious to see how many seats in a 50,000-seat stadium they’ll fill. Two of ‘em will be me, though...
-
He seems to be pretty good at baseball.
-
Holy shit. That last ending was a bit intense.
-
The AL Central seems like it sucks.
-
Fuckin’ Devil Rays...
-
Mookie Betts is good at baseball. More importantly... won the series in Toronto, back home for two series vs the Rays & the Royals. Xander returns to the lineup tonight, and not a moment too soon -- Brock will have to sit out a few for a minor hamstring issue. Let's keep this party going. 19-5, with a 4 game lead in the East. April has been a fun month.

The ratings have been quite low, so it's not looking good. It currently ranks 14th (out of 19) in the 18-49 demo for NBC's prime-time scripted shows. No official word yet, but I'd be willing to bet it's one-and-done. Would be a shame, though. It certainly has potential.
