Sandy Leon has accepted his assignment to Triple A Pawtucket.by Pete Abraham via twitter 3/28/2019 4:01:10 PM

This is important for the Sox, maintaining depth at a position prone to injuries. In Leon and Juan Centeno they'll have two catchers in AAA with big league experience.by Pete Abraham via twitter 3/28/2019 4:02:46 PM

Sandy Leon accepts his assignment to Triple-A Pawtucket, this giving the Red Sox strong catching depth as they enter the year with Vazquez and Swihart.by Alex Speier via twitter 3/28/2019 4:49:19 PM -
The Red Sox are clear-eyed about what they’re chasing this year: History. They’re also aware of the difficulty of repeating. How have past elite (100+ win) and super-elite (105+ win) teams done in The Year After? bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/… via @BostonGlobeby Alex Speier via twitter 3/28/2019 4:52:41 PM

Thanks to our friends with the @Mariners for this tribute to Nick. Very nice of you. Missing my pal a lot today. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D2w9uUvVYAA0Mo3.jpg

On a day many top starters have dominated, some Chris Sale pre-game facts:
* 3-0, 1.91 in four prior Opening Day starts.
* 6-1, 1.88 in 11 career games vs. Seattle.
* Last 2 starts vs. Seattle: 14 IP, 7 H, 0 runs, 2 BB, 24 K.
* Today's lineup is 12 of 67 (.179) vs. Sale.by Pete Abraham via twitter 3/28/2019 10:11:28 PM -

Benintendi swung at the first pitch of the season, extending the streak of Red Sox making first-pitch outs to open the season to two. Benintendi became far more aggressive on 1st pitches last year than ‘17 - but tended to do more damage deeper in counts.by Alex Speier via twitter 3/28/2019 11:13:56 PM

In the first inning, Gonzales is throwing from sunlight into the shadows. Hitters likely to struggle to sync him up to start.by Alex Speier via twitter 3/28/2019 11:14:52 PM

-
Three straight hits for the Red Sox, and they now lead, 1-0. They seemed to dial up their approach in last days of spring (spending some time preparing for opposing starters), and they came ready to attack Gonzales in early and advantage counts.by Alex Speier via twitter 3/28/2019 11:18:10 PM

6 swings and misses among Sale’s first 24 pitches of the season, 5 on sliders. Average four-seamer was just over 93 mph.by Alex Speier via twitter 3/28/2019 11:32:17 PM
-
Sale’s average velo in first inning today: 93.2 mph. Last year, he was 93.8, 92.1, and 93.2 mph in his first three starts - so today he’s opened right in the velo band of ‘healthy, dialed-back Sale’by Alex Speier via twitter 3/28/2019 11:39:43 PM
-
Eduardo Nunez looking very healthy in this inning. His legs created that run.by Pete Abraham via twitter 3/28/2019 11:45:07 PM
-
Bold move by Nunez to tag with Betts on-deck, but he obviously saw Healy in a tough position to make the throw. Aggressive running (double steal and Nunez decision) pushes Sox ahead, 2-0.by Alex Speier via twitter 3/28/2019 11:45:45 PM

Tim Beckham, who was 0 for 15 with 9 Ks vs. Sale in his career just hammered a home run to left off him.by Pete Abraham via twitter 3/28/2019 11:52:29 PM
-
Beckham crushes a 93 mph Sale fastball on a 1-2 pitch. That’s where more velo creates greater margin for error. At 91-94, Sale needs better command.by Alex Speier via twitter 3/28/2019 11:53:41 PM
-
Sale had worked 15.1 scoreless IP vs. the Mariners as a member of the Red Sox before that home run.by Pete Abraham via twitter 3/28/2019 11:54:37 PM

Sale is already at 47 pitches with only 1.2 IP gone. The Red Sox bullpen will be tested today.by Pete Abraham via twitter 3/28/2019 11:59:17 PM

Walk to Freitas (8th hitter), 1st pitch fastball for a single to Gordon (9th hitter), HBP on slider vs Haniger, then two-run double by Santana on a slider. Red Sox trail, 3-2.by Alex Speier via twitter 3/29/2019 12:03:01 AM
-
Sale has thrown 23 fastballs (18 four-seamers), with no swings and misses. Just 13 (57 percent) for strikes. He can pitch with today’s 4-seam velo (92.4 mph so far) if he has command of it. In the second inning, he didn’t have command of it.by Alex Speier via twitter 3/29/2019 12:05:36 AM
-
Bogaerts is a relentless baserunner. Hustled our of the box on a hard grounder down the 3B line and, when booted by Healy, sprinted into second. He’s not a true base stealer, but out of the box, first to home, he’s very good.by Alex Speier via twitter 3/29/2019 12:13:14 AM
