Andriese vs. Pomeranz, Sox need this one. Another afternoon game dodging the storm.

I think we're about to go on a nice winning stretch.
Just a hunch.
I swear, if I'm off work and can watch a game I always get to see Pomeranz pitch, it sucks.
I don't think you have to worry about Pomeranz pitching today. And I guarantee, TB is not going to get a win.
Off day tomorrow--ditto last Monday. No need to save the bullpen. Must win home game against a weak road team.
Yesterday the bottom half of the order had more hits, 4 to 3, than the top half and scored 4 of the 6 runs. Bradley, also know as the wreck of the hesperus, had 2 of those hits. Are the titanic Sox not going down--105 years and about a month after the other one--after all? Will John "what icebergs, I don't see no stinkin icebergs" Farrell make still one more perilous journey thru an entire MLB season safely? Stay tuned . . .
3d thru 6th hitters--bogie, beni, young, and moreland--were hitless yesterday but the Sox still scored 6. bogie ended his 15 game hitting streak.
the big switch is betts getting super hot and replacing beni as the hitting stats leader. mookie now leads the Sox in total bases, dingers, rbi's, OPS (.923!!), and his 2d in runs scored. bogie has the highest BA and OBP.
Need Pom to put it together today. He has strung together several innings where he looks good but then one or two inning where he gets lit up.

They are hopeful of getting this one in. It's light rain, brisk and raw down here.
Happy Mother's Day 2 all the mothers out there.
peace out
On last thing of note. David Price will throw five innings in his rehab. If he can't because of weather elements , he will throw a bullpen indoors . That could change as well . That is the plan as of now.
Farrell said that after the game yesterday . Post game show with John Farrell.
