Fuck yes baseball has returned.

[Hugh G Rection]

I think that seeing if Bard resembles his former non-Blass self is the most interesting aspect of todays games.

[pokey_reese]

This might be one of my 3-5 favorite days of the year.  I have been waiting for so long...

[BoSoxLady]

I'm here!

[pokey_reese]

I am not sure that this game is going to be on MLB.tv.  I have a premium membership, and nothing is showing up...

[geoduck no quahog]

Same here. Game listed, but no option to watch

[uncannymanny]

Holy shit I'm excited. Read last night that these games aren't going to be on TV or radio.

Anyone have a GameDay link? Or are we relegated to box score refreshing circa 1997?

[geoduck no quahog]

MLB TV just changed the screen to "Live", but no links to broadcast...

I can't wait for the first "OMG, 12 pitches, 12 strikes, 9 outs!  What an outing!" post of the spring.  Warms my heart.

[Jack Rabbit Slim]

Trading HBP's in the first.  Someone is getting thrown out today

[Steve Dillard]

Team building brawl brewing.  Hanrahan hits their guy, so the NU pitcher drills Jonny Gomes.

You are both Da Men. Thanks a pantload.

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

Bards in. Anyone have a velocity reading?

[SoxScout]

Bradford says Bard's first pitch was 94.

The first hitter Bard faces singles.

 

Faith evaporates.

And Victorino is batting 1.000 in a Sox uniform!  Bounce-back season underway.

[pokey_reese]

They are running all over us.  Sox control of the running game is in mid-season form!

[mabrowndog]

Alex Speier @alexspeier

Bard falls behind 2-0, gets swings and misses on next two fastballs, then slider for a strikeout looking.

I want to see upper 90's. Anything below 95 does nothing for me.

[24JoshuaPoint]

Completely lost track this day was close let alone here. Very unexpected treat and minor victory.

Pedro and Varitek watching from behind home plate, sitting in front of #RedSox baseball ops personnel.

Scott Lauber @ScottLauber

18 pitches, 13 strikes, 6 swing-and-misses for Daniel Bard

[trekfan55]

Looks like Gameday actually has a pitch by pitch for Gameday (last years it was 3 swinging strikes for a K, 4 walks for a BB and one pitch for a hit/out).

[pokey_reese]

Bard strikes out the side.  Just college kids, but better than walking three of them, which I honestly think he would have done last August.

[mabrowndog]

The single off Bard was a blooper that dropped in front of Ellsbury, FWIW. 

 

Rob Bradford @bradfo

Bard gives up a hit in an inning. Threw a lot of effective sliders. Had trouble with fastball command but last pitch (FB) was well placed.

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

I know. He's not likely to let loose at full velocity, it would just be nice to see some 98 mph heat from him again.

[mabrowndog]

Also, there's no official radar gun today at Jet Blue Park. Bradford knew Bard's speed because he's sitting with some scouts.

[Hugh G Rection]

Is it too early to start to feel really good about Bard?

[mabrowndog]

It's the same this year, from what I've seen so far.

[mabrowndog]

First the Sox acquire Carp, now Overbay whiffs against a college pitcher from Northeastern.

 

Yeah, Lyle. I like your chances.

So did Pedroia.  Just sayin'.

I think its too early to feel anything about anything,

[Jack Rabbit Slim]

Cut 'em both

[Hugh G Rection]

another HBP.....

 

 

as for Bard, has there ever been a pitcher that got through a season throwing 90% sliders? Because if he doesn't find that FB command he may have to.

[Remagellan]

Is this game on MLB.tv?  

[mabrowndog]

Exactly. Especially now that Pedroia has also GIDP'd.

[shoebox91]

Nice of Pedey to take it easy on the college kids...

[SoxScout]

http://mlb.mlb.com/mediacenter no, sox fist tv game is Saturday

[S. H. Frog]

Oh, I don't know.  I feel as good about Lackey right now as I did about Matsuzaka last year, which scares me, by the way, because I though Matsuzaka was going to be a monster with his fixed-up arm.
