Greetings from Stamford, Connecticut! I’m doing the crossword tournament today, and I’m typing this from the lobby of the Stamford Marriott with my computer at 6 percent juice. I gotta be fast. It’s my rookie appearance. Wish me luck.
It’s also the last Sale Day before Opening Day, and that is Good. The Astros, who we play at 1:05 p.m. on NESN, are pretty good. Discuss that — and why some of the names below got automatically hyperlinked and others didn’t (I sure don’t know) — and more in the gamethread below. Here is the lineup:
- Mookie Betts, RF
- Eduardo Nunez, 2B
- Hanley Ramirez, DH
- J.D. Martinez, LF
- Xander Bogaerts, SS
- Mitch Moreland, 1B
- Jackie Bradley Jr., CF
- Christian Vazquez, C
- Brock Holt, 3B
