Coming to life (BOS 6 OAK 3) April 3 2019

#RedSox Ree-ree-ree *rumble* *rumble*. Ree-ree-ree *rumble* *rumble*. Ree-ree-ree *rumble* *rumble*. C’mon, man. Ree-ree-ree *rumble* *rummmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Watching this Boston Red Sox season start reminds me of when I lived in Boxborough, trying to start my old Volvo on a 20 degree midwinter morning. It usually took a few cranks, but once it started, it would roar to life. The Sox had a rocky start also, but with last night’s game against the A’s (win, 6-3), they finally started clicking on all cylinders. A decent start for Nathan Eovaldi, with strong bullpen support from Colton Brewer, Matt Barnes (who got the win), and Ryan Brasier, who took the save. Kudos to Blake Swihart, Brock Holt, Jackie Bradley, Jr., and Mookie Betts. Now let’s get this puppy in gear, and see where she goes.
