Ok going to keep my predictions more realistic for touki today. Tough start but think he can go 9 innings of 5 hit ball no runs and 14 Ks. Also he will only hit one homer today.
Hopefully he can be better but that is what I am thinking.

In all honesty I think Touki does okay and ends up with pretty much a neutral start and the Braves chances to win or not will depend on what happens vs a struggling Eovaldi (that's going on short rest due to a rain shortened start). I'm sure the hot takes are gonna fly even if it's any other outcome, but if it does end poorly, remember that this Red Sox offense has been crushing good veteran pitchers that have experience.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
I guess this ends up being the GDT
Betts Ks swinging to start the game

Nice double play.
STFU Red Sox fans.
Then a 4 pitch BBs to # 2 hitter
Martinez hitting 3rd goes to 2-0 on 6 straight pitches out of zone and a great DP 6-4-3
11 pitch 1st for Touki

Beautiful!
Already Red Sox get a ball off plate called when touki had to be all the way in the zone
How are we this blessed to get Paul Byrd in the booth for his second straight series?

Good AB by Ender.
Does Eovaldi have a neck? He looks extremely awkward pitching.
