It may be Opening Day, but almost as important, it is Lucas Giolito Day!
Lucas Giolito will be the first Sox pitcher to make three consecutive Opening Day starts since LHP Mark Buehrle (2008-11), and the first RHP since Jack McDowell (1991-94).

Passan bomb to pass the time before first pitch.
Barring a significant change in the next few hours, Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees will not strike a contract extension before his deadline of first pitch today, sources tell ESPN. The Yankees have proposed a deal for more than $225 million, but the sides remain apart.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) April 8, 2022
Yankees fans are as pleased as you would expect them to be with the Judge news trickling out.

The pro debut of Spencer Torkelson generating some kind words around the Twittersphere with a few great picks at first base.
Jim Leyland would say that a good first baseman makes the rest of the infield better. So far, Spencer Torkelson is doing that. Three groundouts induced by Eduardo Rodriguez, three nice plays by Torkelson on low throws to first.
— Jason Beck (@beckjason) April 8, 2022
Spencer Torkelson looks really good at 1st base. He’s picking Javy Baez’s heaters

Wild and wacky inning ends in wild and wacky fashion, what might've been a run-scoring fielder's choice groundout turns into a double play when runner was deemed to have interfered with his slide at second.
