Another soft hit ball.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:49 PM) You typically need more than one year of success to be considered a powerhouse I don't agree with the word (unless your name is the San Francisco Giants) but it isn't THAT far fetched either.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:44 PM) Don't you think "powerhouse" is a bit of a stretch? They went to the World Series last year and had an insane bullpen and defensive ratings. I don't usually agree with Greg, but I don't think it's that far fetched.

Jennings does not deserve his ERA ballooning like that.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:32 PM) It was a slow grounder that should have been collected and thrown to first for an easy out. Instead, Alexei screens Micah and fails to even pick it up. It should have been had but it's not an error since neither guy got to the ball. As simple as that. Sucks for a pitcher cause it blooms his ERA but it's the right call.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:31 PM) First game of the year and people can see why many wanted Sanchez. Gotta make that play. Especially with all the question marks we have defensively. Sanchez, Alexei and Eaton are the only positive defensive players we have.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:28 PM) how is that not an error? How is it an error?

Jennings was much better off pitching to Morales. Called that before the Gordon at bat.

Sox showing off that stellar defense. Bad luck for Jennings.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:25 PM) Said he wouldn't name names, but there was a series in Tampa when the same Sox players was drilled 3 times and the Sox never retaliated. Hawk said he went into the manager's office and asked if the Sox were going to do anything about it. The manager said he was "filing it".....Hawk and Steve then joked that that file must've gotten lost because no retaliation ever came. I think you quoted the wrong person as I said it was probably Manuel.

And of course Robin wants the lefty lefty as if he has hasn't read about Jennings effectiveness with righties.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:22 PM) Not hard to figure out since Tampa hasn't been around too long. And I don't remember Ozzie backing down from stuff like that Not to mention he loves... LOVES Ozzie.

Jennings look much more comfortable facing righties.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:19 PM) So who is Hawk talking about? Jerry Manuel? Has to be.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:14 PM) Semi-final line, anyways. He is responsible for the guy on first. Right. But I think Jennings will get the job done. Although I hope Robin knows he's much better against righties.

Sharks final line. 6 IP 6 H 4 R 4 ER 3 BB 1 SO.

I wonder if Flowers or LaRoche will lead the team in strikeouts this year. (assuming Flowers doesn't lose his job)

LaRoche with a very Dunn esc approach there. Should've walked.

Yikes Ventura. I hope that isn't serious.

Well Abreu is still mashing. Not into that new game posters got on the board, but I would've picked him. That was obvious.

Gillaspie has been our best player today. That isn't good.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:54 PM) Tyler Flowers...I think it's time for a countdown signature for Flower's departure, as well... I do miss that Adam Dunn one from you. LOL

Flowers is putting on a clinic out there. Teams are going to be running alot on us.

I'm still shocked both of these pitchers have only 3 strikeouts combined with their stuff.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:44 PM) aaaaaaaaaaaaand it's gone! :lolhitting
