Finally able to tune in and I'm shocked the Sox are winning in a game with Ort starting!

Did I read that he is the IL replacement for Houck with Murphy as the 27th man? That seems backwards with how Murphy looked before and his numbers look good in the box score today too.
Yes, per this morning's press release:
BOSTON, MA—The Boston Red Sox today announced the following roster moves:
  • Appointed left-handed pitcher Chris Murphy as the club’s 27th man for today’s doubleheader against the New York Yankees at Fenway Park. Per Major League Baseball rules, both teams are permitted to add an extra player for today’s games.
  • Placed right-handed pitcher Tanner Houck on the 15-Day Injured List (retroactive to June 17) due to a facial fracture.
  • Recalled right-handed pitcher Kaleb Ort from Triple-A Worcester.

I guess it was a matter of Murphy not being available for most or all of the Twins series.

Not saying he would have gotten there, but Arroyo not interested in chasing down that foul behind 1B that Turner couldn't cope with.

Might not be our year, but beating the crap out of these losers will always feel lovely.

With regard to Devers' #s, aren't they heavily weighted towards earlier in the season? Except against Cole in NY, I don't remember him doing much lately.

I’m timing my drive to walk my dog in the park to be able to listen to the WFAN wrap up show. Great fucking Father’s Day!!!
