They’re in almost every game, there’s positive signs with this team. Crawford and Winckowski looking like relief aces is a big revelation. They’ll win games on their bullpen alone.
Unbelievable what Winkowski has done, he has changed just about everything they tell you not to. Release point, arm slot, windup the guy reinvented himself over the winter. I am impressed with him the most so far.

He looks like a completely different player. It's insane. I saw on twitter someone did a side by side of him and you're right. Everything had changed. I hope it's sustainable because he's been quite dominate.

The thing I like most about baseball is that it’s truly a game of inches. Turner just missed a tying homer, Verdugo SMOKED 3 balls that got caught. Last night we lost by inches, hopefully today we win by inches!

Yep. 2 very well played games with a couple of plays deciding the outcome. Burnes has been hittable so far this season, but I like Milwaukee's chances today.

Verdugo's been a tough out all series so far.

I have seen Burnes a couple of times in the playoffs, so I know he has great stuff, but have not seen him for a while. My goodness, I would classify his stuff as somewhere between extremely nasty and physically impossible to hit hard. Brewers probably take this. Sox did a good job in the first. Sox did even better in the second. Burnes is having a bad day, hard to control that kind of movement. They have a chance. It is hard to predict baseball, as they say. ...

Like what I’m seeing from the Sox this weekend. They’re throwing strikes, limiting the big inning, making the plays they’re supposed to and the offense continues to be good against some quality pitching.

Nothing spectacular just solid baseball.

I think the pitch clock is affecting Burnes a little more than most pitchers this year. He's always been a very slow and methodical pitcher and I was wondering if he was gonna need a little time to adjust. I think that's what's affected his command this year, more than anything he's doing mechanically.
