Baseball has changed so much the last few years. Now with such lack of power it's like the old days when pitchers were way ahead of the hitters early in the season.

Sox have hit a ton of ground balls this series. Hopefully they'll elevate in the Cell.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 08:12 PM) I think it's pretty clear the Sox have no chance against Graveman today, and Latos will be lucky if he doesn't give up 7 runs. Fans are never gonna change why worry about it?

Melky finds a hole. Time for Abreu to hit a bomb.

On paper, Garcia, Shuck, Lawrie, Navarro and Saladino is a very inept stretch of hitters. Hopefully Lawrie will get it going.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 03:53 AM) Iirc the "aw shucks" is just an act and the guy has a reputation for being a monumental ahole How come when a Republican is called a monumental ahole (without proof) it's entirely acceptable and I call Hillary something like that and am attacked and told to offer proof or else.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 02:51 AM) http://inthesetimes.com/article/18942/why-...hillary-clinton That article was horrible. It basically said if you don't like Hillary you are a sexist person. Wrong. She is unlikeable not because she is a woman and powerful women are often despised (the article said it not me). She is unlikeable for many many reasons you've heard me utter before.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 05:19 AM) I understand it was Sonny Gray but he walked four guys and gave up three hits too. Just a shame to waste the performance Rodon gave and a bad flashback to last year as far as poor offense. Offense just hasn't looked very good at all in the series so far. Will be very interested to see what happens Thurday. Latos is pitching, expect the A's to score some runs...can the Sox finally score say six or seven and maybe take three of four? Considering they won the first two getting a split in the series would be a downer, you've got to take the series. We'll see. Mark Winning three of four while scoring 6-8 runs in the final game of the set would make for an awesome opening series. Losing 3-1 or something like that would mean 2-2 and an OK start, but not that great.

Pathetic game. You give up two runs, you need to win. Oh well, 2-1 in series is nice. Some hitters are really looking lousy/mediocre so far. 2-1 in this series is the best we could be hitting like this. 3 very good starts. If our rotation keeps this up, it will be sad if the hitting lets us down. Defense might be OK this year. As expected, it looks as if catcher will be a black hole offensively. Short and second may not be very good at all (even though Rollins hit that awesome homer last night) and Avi appears to be a possible black hole. I'll take 2-1 on the road so far, but horrible loss tonight because of the offense.

Easy to second guess, but I think Saladino shoulda played tonight. Don't let Rollins think he's gonna get 550 at bats this year.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 04:27 AM) I dont know he fouled off 7 pitches hard to call that pathetic. Fair enough. The final swing couldn't have been worse, tho.

Rollins with the pathetic at bat. Couldn't have tapped it to a worse spot.

We need another stud at bat from Jimmy like late last night.

Make 'em pay! He was out. We caught a break. Cmon Sox. Rally time.

He's out; Semien is having a good game.

It'd be nice if Frazier could hit his second homer of the year and we win it in 14-15 innings.

We could use another good hitter. Couldn't we trade one of our stud starters for a big lefty bat?

A "tip your cap" evening I guess. Unless there are heroics late vs. the bullpen.

Another baserunner. When stoney says that he means "robin needs to put in a pinch runner."

Avi and Melky need to start hitting. Our bats have overall sucked this series. Good to be up 2-0, though.

Melky and Avi could really hurt this team this year cause of their lack of hitting ability IMO.

Damn. Take a pitch, Abreu.

As good as a bunt.

Eaton is having a great series. Let's score.

Nice job by Rollins, but what a horrible throw. Abreu musta thought he had a cookie there. Lame at bat.
