The Red Sox go for the sweep against Gerrit Cole and the Yankees this afternoon at Fenway Park (1:10 p.m., NESN, TBS) and is there any combination of words you’d rather read on a beautiful Sunday morning? There’s certainly no combo I’d rather write. Let us bask. Especially before the game starts. Cole vs. Eduardo Rodriguez is a tough one for our boys, no matter how you slice it.
Yes, the numbers say E-Rod has gotten unlucky and yes, Cole was caught in the maelstrom of the Spider Tack affair. It makes no difference for the facts on the ground, which are that Cole is still very good and Rodriguez is struggling.
