He’s back! James Paxton is making his Red Sox debut tonight against the St. Louis Cardinals. The veteran lefty made 0 appearances in 2022, 1 in 2021, 5 in 2020, but started 29 games back in 2019. Will he be good? Was all this waiting worth it? We’re about to find out.
Meanwhile the Cardinals are bad. For the first time in a generation this team is in free fall. They signed a top catcher and moved him off the plate. Yadi and Pujols are retired. Arenado is off to a miserable start. Let’s hope they continue to be embarrassing all weekend.
