Elsewhere in the AL East, the O's are off today, then travel down to Miami tomorrow to start a 3-game series against the dreadful Marlins. The Jays are also off; the Rays will fly to Toronto after today's game to begin a 3-game series at Rodgers Centre. After losing Sunday night, the Sox flew to Denver to play at 8:40 pm tonight, getting an immediate opportunity to shake off getting swept in LA with a 3-game series against the wretched Rockies at Coors Field. Tanner Houck, 8-6 on the season and 4th in the AL with a 2.54 ERA starts for Boston; lefty Austin Gomber (2-6, 4.61 ERA) will throw for Colorado. Gomber has had a bit of a rough time lately; he's 1-2 in his last 5 starts with an ERA of 5.40.
And, at 1:07 pm this afternoon at the Stadium, it's Littell vs. Rodon
Preview stuff now concluded, I'll rejoin you in a half-hour for the game.

As bad as the lineup looks the biggest issue today is Carlos Rodon. Anyone here think he makes it to the 6th ? We can usually tell about Rodon right away in the first inning. I'll put over/under at 25 first inning pitches |

If this was thew NFL 2/3 of the team would be CAP and waiver cuts. This is the same team that was 52-27 (.658) prior to Stanton going down. Problems were there they just now got exposed. Now they are free falling. |

Not being a jerk or looking to start BUT if Stanton comes back this weekend we won't make two weeks until calf or hammy again.

The uniform #'s might be the same but the attitude and performance sunk. Some of these guy went from steering a decorated Battleship into battle to playing music on the Titanic. |

Rosario steps in.
Game underway, takes a FB inside, called a strike anyway, Rodon gets a break with the first pitch, 0-1
FB up and in, maybe got a tiny piece of the corner, 0-2, 0-1% on Gameday
Swings over a slider out of the zone down and in, K, 1 down.

Mead...
FB yanked way inside ball 1.
Change tails outside 2-0
FB misses up and in, 3-0
Get it over FB right down the middle taken, 3-1
FB down and in, he tries to inside out it, doesn't square it up, hits a grounder pretty much right at Cabrera, throws him out, inning over.
Rodon has a great 1st inning, a 15-pitch 1-2-3 with a K.
Bottom 1, 0-0.

And that includes Volpe's last 4 good games, too. |

Soto...
Takes a sweeper near the low inside corner for a strike
Slider outside middle, Soto late, fouls it off.
FB at 94 well high, outer 3rd, Soto chases for the K, 2 down.
Not "just outside the strike zone" Paulie, missed by 5-6 inches high. Bad chase by Soto. Unusual.
