They kind of pioneered the opener concept.

But, you know, when Taylor's out there for stretches like three out of four games, you hear he's going again.

Yesterday, Sox ended up using nine pitchers, as you mentioned, because of the injury to Cannon.

This isn't even how you draw it up when you're trying to be creative.

Well, and I think that that's it, too, is we feel like the Sox lineup looked pretty good to start as we saw.

That was before everybody made adjustments, as you mentioned.

But Murakama really added some pop, at least for the lack of on base.

There was slugging, as we saw, you know, Colson Montgomery, a huge part of that.

But to see it kind of shut down like this, like we've seen, teams go through streaks.

But what do you think about just the extreme lack of offense we saw like in the past first two games of this thing against the Kansas City Royals?

You know better than I do.

Well, and it was blowing out yesterday, just to make your point.

Like, that helps, too.

It was wind-aided for everybody.

And that was my issue, AJ, was a lot of times we've talked about the weather helping the opponent.

But theoretically, it should help the home team, too.

And I feel like that occurred yesterday.

That's what they tell us.

If it was a reasonable take, then it was not a reasonable take.

AJ, what did you think of Ozzie Guillen getting his number retired and that announcement coming through?
