Red Sox Opening Day: Weather Looks Good!

This game was considered to be the first impression of RED SOX for 2017.

Stephen Strasburg will get the start on Monday, the team’s home opener, as they take on division rival Miami.

Sale tossed just six pitches in the bottom of the third inning at Fenway during the Cape League’s All-Star Game.

That signature will mean something one day.

Eduardo Rodriguez has been around a full year longer then Kuhle but hasn’t experienced the same amount of success so far. In the seventh inning, the Pirates plated a trio of runs and easily could have had more.

It was a rough day for the Pittsburgh Pirates’ run creation efforts all around, but it was especially rough for Andrew McCutchen. It was not a banner day for Barnes, who would immediately allow an RBI single, followed by a wild pitch to move both runners into scoring position, followed by a walk to load the bases.

Benintendi looked so good this spring that Farrell realized that he could throw him in the No. 2 spot like he did yesterday and not worry about much.

As this Red Sox season begins, a lot of story lines swarm around this team that exceeded expectations in the regular season but failed to meet the expectations set for the playoffs.

“I think I’ve been able to slow things down and take it all in”, Benintendi said. “We look forward to watching the memorable moments from past seasons and creating new ones on the field each night for fans to enjoy again and again using this special On Demand feature”. “I’m not going to beat myself up too bad”. Despite the star power in the rotation, Boston will need to rely on some of the younger bats in their lineup to assist the veterans like Dustin Pedroia, Xander Bogaerts and Hanley Ramirez in providing some support for what could end up being the most dominant rotation in the majors after dealing third baseman Travis Shaw to the Brewers. More alarming was that Cutch went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts.

After each game, win or lose, Pirates Breakdown will ask YOU for your Pittsburgh Pirates player of the game.

“Sometimes, it ain’t going to happen”. It ended with Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley and Andrew Benintendi dancing for the first time in 2017. In classic Kimbrel fashion, he allowed the potential tying runs to reach base before getting Pittsburgh slugger Starling Marte to pop out in foul territory.

“I wasn’t thinking about him out there today”, Bradley said. He has had a promising spring giving the Pirates and their fans optimism that their ace is back and ready to go. I was looking for the opportunity. It was picture-perfect for baseball’s return to Boston, making the weekend’s nasty snow storm nearly seem as if it never happened. Prior to the seventh, the Pirates had consecutive hits just once previous. The other was Jack Saltzgaver of the Yankees, who walked four times in his big league debut on Opening Day of 1932.
