I personally wasn’t in Boston, however taking a look at it on TV, that was quintessential Pink Sox Opening Day climate, eh? 50s and sunny, the white uniforms again on and a metropolis desirous to kick this crew within the bottom.
Nicely, they fortunately didn’t make this one too hectic on any of us as they rolled to a 5-2 win.
Sonny Grey (6.0 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 3 Ok)
now THIS was the Sonny Grey begin the Pink Sox wanted. Not even 90 pitches, six frames of fairly clear ball save for that fifth inning. Give me extra of that type of Sonny, please.
Marcelo Mayer (2-for-2, 2 runs, 2 RBI, 1 HR)
I don’t perceive why Cora gained’t let Mayer roll extra and work out his rising pains. When he’s on like this, he’s such a constant and clean hitter. It’s a presence this lineup desperately wants, as I alluded to this morning.
The Bullpen (3.0 IP, 0 ER, 0 H)
The Italian Stallion Greg Weissert, no nicknamed Justin Slaten and the Cuban Missile Aroldis Chapman had been phenomenal. Nuff stated. Nicely, Chappy passing Pap is one thing else too.
Trevor Story (0-for-4, 1 Ok)
Story is in an early season stoop and it reveals. Utterly the alternative of two years in the past when he began on a tear. Then once more? He additionally obtained harm for the remainder of the season three weeks in so we don’t need a repeat of that.
I’m actually torn as a result of Marcelo hitting a house run is improbable, Mut Contreras actually wanted that and it was the game-winning hit too.
