Excellent. E Rod called me last night and said he’s ready to shut these bozos Down
Everybody down for a 4:00 first pitch? That's about what it's looking like. I think we will play this game today, because it beats the alternative of having Seattle come back here for one day at some point later in the year. We're off tomorrow and on a bus to New York, while Seattle heads to Houston for a night game. That's doable. I'm sure they would hang around Boston a little longer if it meant not having to come back
To state the obvious, the Red Sox are more likely than the Mariners to maintain this level of play. But there's always hope with this year's anticipated arrivals of Jarred Kelenic and Logan Gilbert (and later Julio Rodriguez, Emerson Hancock, George Kirby, Noelvi Marte and Cal Raleigh).
Lefthander Nick Margevicius lost the Spring Training battle for the final slot in Seattle's six-man rotation but joined the rotation on April 13 after James Paxton went down with a season-ending injury.
A Seattle blogger's preseason report on the 24-year-old Margevicius, who has an ERA of 5.49 in 21 career starts:

FWIW the Red Sox this year have posted a .254/.293/.419/.713 line against lefthanded starters in eight games and a .292/.360/.481/.842 line against righthanded starters in 14 games.
