"Gentlemen, we can rebuild him." Franchy & Tanner ARE your 2021 Boston Red Sox

diff between 4 and 6 back feels pretty big

nothing has the healing power of three at home against the orioles

send them to florida to play icu patients

seriously. :( their last two starting pitchers are like 1-13 combined or something.

i looked it up, 3-20.

akin gave up three runs in 4 innings - which lowered his ERA.

two hits off andrew fucking heaney in seven innings
