Catching Fucarile's first pitch is Kevin Millar -- who might as well have a locker in the clubhouse, he's here wearing his jersey so often.

Buck on asking for replay on last play last night: "They didn’t have a real good answer [for why play couldn't be reviewed]." #Orioles

Farrell on quick turnaround: We'll be there, can't say with bells on, but we're ready to go.

Buck on early start: "We know why. This has something 2 do with the marathon. It’s something very important to our country, not just Boston"
by Boston Red Sox via twitter 4/21/2014 1:53:03 PM
Pre-game updates from Farrell: Nap a little sore but ready to go. A few guys took advantage of sleep room & stayed here w/ quick turnaround.

Buck on the 11 am start today at Fenway: "It’s a different clock than you ever have. It’s even different than the spring." #Orioles #RedSox
by Anthony Gulizia, Sports via twitter 4/21/2014 1:49:50 PM
Flanagan seems to be running a very aggressive race. Impressive if she can maintain this pace. Crossing 5k at 15:10. Record pace is 16:40.
by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 4/21/2014 1:48:59 PM
Because of early start, Buck sent Chen - today's starter - home before the 5th inning last night instead of after the 5th as usual. #Orioles
