George needs to be out of the lead off spot. If he doesn’t like it, play better. Just don’t suck.

Not surprising the bullpen looks better when they only have to go 2-3 as compared to 4-5. Not a surprise they pitched worse in games the starters couldn’t go past 5.

Just when you think the pitching might be elite....they go and get totally exposed again haha

Facing cold line ups helped i guess.

Chapman has been named the A.L. player of the month for April. No surprise, monster start to the season for him.

Merrifield sure, Kiermeier's OPS since mid April is around .400. That's putrid! He's back to being a defense/speed guy who should only bat 9th in the order.

It was mentioned on the broadcast last night, but he did go on to get 2 hits in the game.

Yep, as mentioned was posted on a graphic last night. It was at .900 something mid-April. From then it’s awful. The overall number, whatever it is now is hopefully sustainable.

I have also been wondering about Merrifield leading off. What's not to like? Good speed, good contact, getting on base a heck of a lot more than Springer.

I like Varsho's game. Glad he's having a good night so far, hope he goes on a big heater.

Runner on 3rd with none out. You can't strand him. Brutal.

I tuned in and watched Boston score 2. I’ll stop watching for the team boys.
