Does the term “you come at the king, you best not miss” apply to Michael King? We’ll find out tonight, as the Sox take on the Padres ace, whose 165 ERA+ would be good for seventh in all of baseball if he’d pitched enough to qualify. The reason he doesn’t qualify is that he just missed almost three months with a shoulder issue. He’s making his return tonight, which seems like a good time to face someone of his caliber.
First pitch is at 8:40, catch the game on NESN or WEEI.
