You know how they say “if they play .500 ball the rest of the season, the team will be 90-72”? I think the Sox are taking it too literally. Abe Alvarez pitching like it was double-A. Nice pick by Tek in the 1st, though.
Edit: Interesting that Baltimore had their 1B and 3 outfielders in the #6-9 slots. Aren’t those the power-hitting weak-fielding poistions? Also, Ortiz is now tied with Nomar for the team lead in triples, with 3 apiece. Scary stuff. Next thing you know Dave McCarty will start slugging like Manny.
