Red Sox at Pirates lineup: The lineups are still drunk, at least

Brian Johnson starts, Blake Swihart’s at third and the Red Sox have a DH in an NL park.

It’s cold out there and you might be hungover, so why not warm yourself by the television and watch some baseball, yeah? NESN will broadcast this 1:05 p.m. game, so you should watch it. Brian Johnson will make his fourth start of the year opposite Tyler Glasnow, who has been hit hard this spring.

These lineups are a couple minutes late, which you probably would not have noticed, but it’s because the intrepid Boston wordsmiths haven’t posted them on Twitter, where I usually find them. Perhaps they are hungover as well! In that case, I’ll help them out. The lineups, which themselves are drunk — Blake Swihart at third! The Red Sox with a DH, but the Pirates without one! — follow this sentence, and this is yer gamethread.
