Unrelated, Skenes deserved better.
Let’s go crochet!!! Get out of a sticky situation to win 3-0!!!
The Sox are 1 and 0 thus far in 2026! Hopefully ready for another season of great content from you, Corbin!
great live
Positive: Crochet, Mayer, Roman “Clutch ABS dude” Anthony. Seriously, that changed the game and is going to be interesting to watch this new rule this season.
Negative: Realizing ABS was implemented after Angel Hernandez’s retirement.
Solid game. However, worried that with lack of power in the line up we will be in a lot of close games. Can’t pitch Slaten, Whitlock, Chapman every game. I not sure there are enough high leverage arms in that bullpen across 162.
Roman is gonna be a problem with the new ABS system. His plate discipline is crazy!
I feel like the game summed up the plan for the year. +pitching, bat to ball skills putting the ball in play and of course follow the leader Roman Anthony…
You're saying the Sox won't win 97 games this year. Why so negative? Or are you just being doubtful? Oh, right. You said they mean the same thing, so you're being negative… 😛
I really do love everything that happened, basically. Crochet pitched like a Cy Young(it takes 2-3 years of dominance to win, usually) winner. The strikeouts(on a cutter, not FB technically) with the bases loaded were my favorite part…followed by Anthony swinging at the first pitch of the season…I frigging love that..great game
To your point "spring training stats for a lot of these veteran guys don't really matter":
Throughout spring training, Crochet was working on a new pitch (a splitter), and trying out making new choices in certain counts. And all that got abandoned once spring training ended, because it wasn't really working. He went back to what he was doing last year, and with it, went back to dominating like he did last year. And that's how these veteran guys do spring training.
Listen to Corbin, folks, he hits the nail on the head every time with points like this one.
I think the Sox will win lots of games like yesterday with good pitching and scoring just enough runs. Crochet and Anthony are most definitely the real deal ⚾👍
I think you are right to say this is what we should expect a lot of close games relying heavy on the pitching. Not saying we can't win this way but it's going to be a lot of close nail biting games this year.
I'm so excited to see what Roman Anthony does this year.
While it's reassuring that the biggest names (Anthony, Crochet, Whitlock, Chapman) did big-name things in the Red Sox opener, it's even bigger what we saw from some of the other guys who we hope for big things from but have been question marks – Rafaela and Mayer coming up big at the plate, and Slaten locking down the 7th inning. If those guys are consistently good, the 2026 Red Sox are a formidable team indeed.
Thank you for highlighting some of those guys.

The most excited thing for me is to see the next games our rotation is full packed. Plus batting was solid, we need les dps but we good
2025 we would have lost this game.
Cora didn't utilize any speed. Not one attempt at stealing a base.
Anthony made the correct challenge yesterday…HOWEVER…his eye sucked for challenges in spring training…HOWEVER…last year it seemed like he had one of the best eyes in baseball for strike zone…HOWEVER…we all know who is the actual King of the Zone…Casas 😊…and Willson in Spring Training
You can't go 162-0 without going 1-0
Marcelo was the spark off the bench and it was great. He is in line for a great season crushing right handers.
I was so happy to see Roman once again show the haters how good he is. I honestly hope people keep doubting him so he can continue to prove them wrong.
Great to be back!!
Great game. Low scoring game but they won & I'll take a bunch of low scoring games as long as they are winning most of them. In the end it's about pitching & defense.
LET'S GO SOX!! R.A. was as cool as a cucumber yesterday! Freakin' Strike Challenge changed the outcome. The Pig came up BIG! 💥 💥
