The lineup was out and nobody had made a thread. I had no choice in the matter.

Lol Thunder.

 

This is MVP’s chance to redeem himself!

Kikuchi starting for the Harmonys.

 

Dalbec has been heating up, especially vs LHPs.

 

I might have moved him to 7th or 8th.

 

Arroyo to lead off might not be bad either, but he usually hits righties better than lefties, so maybe today is not the "right time."

Both lineups:

Boston Red Sox lineup: Bobby Dalbec, who is 11-for-28 (.393) with 5 extra-base hits in his past nine games, returns after off day

Gross. We don't care about the Pilots' lineup here.

[TylerD]

I like our chances

 

Maybe

Haha...well put.

Lefthander Yusei Kikuchi is probably the best starter the Red Sox will face in the Seattle series (the Sox will avoid Marco Gonzales and Justus Sheffield).

 

The Red Sox remain favored to leapfrog over the Mariners tonight in the Wild Card standings.

[iortiz]

This series was very very sweptable but we s*** the bed yesterday. Hopefully we win the next 3 starting today.

 

Let’s f go!

The series can still be swept.

 

Or not.

Um, we lead the division, so f*** the Wild Card

[Thunder]

Did Kikuchi pitch the game we won in Seattle on Opening Weekend in 2019? I can't remember

If only the league handed out an April pennant:

Indeed the defending World Series champions came from behind to avoid a four-game sweep in Seattle:

Kikuchi surrendered four hits and two earned runs over six innings with five strikeouts and no walks.

 

FWIW Kikuchi and Shohei Ohtani attended the same rural high school in the sticks of Japan:

So by that logic, why do you care about the Wild Card standings? I personally don't care about standings until the end of July

Valid unless you start out Terrible. I mean if we didn’t win a game yet it would be slightly concerning lmao

[harmony]

And I of you.

I think I would say that at this point our defense is "suspect" and if we played an entire season this way a whole bunch of us would just upchuck.

[d-money]

Lovely start.

[d-money]

This team needs a kick in the ass. So lackadaisical now.

[Thunder]

Lucky to only give up 1. Let's get ahead early now

[d-money]

This team needs to wake up. Let’s go!!!!

[jung]

Atta' boy X. Where would we be without X?

[Thunder]

Thanks Bogey!
