Collins is a total wreck at the plate. He takes more called 3rd strikes than anyone I've ever seen. Swing the bat! He is beginning to remind me of the catching version of Hawkins.

Great AB, thanks ump also

Can we play the Tigers and Tampa again? This is like watching a major league team against a minor league team

Hahn really should have been fired after 2016. Shields is a total joke

Next step of Kopech's development is attacking lefties. From what I've seen this year, righties have little chance.

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 02:38 AM) Kid is only 24. Why are the Sox cutting bait with him? Maybe is just a late bloomer lol. Also, if you want to feel depressed look at who went after him in that draft. Seager, Wacha, Stroman, Berrios, Piscotty, just to name a few. KW and his crew had no idea what they were doing in the draft. Sale being the blind squirrel finding a nut year. Rumor on here was they had an agreement with Stroman and changed their mind at last second after Hawkins fell in the draft

Madrigal cleared for the weekend according to Kendall Rogers. Hopefully he picks up where he left off.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 02:18 AM) Lost in the collapse was an outstanding effort by Volstadt. But why did Fulmer only pitch 1 inning? Did he have an injury? Had a case of the sucks

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 01:41 AM) Welcome to rebuilding. Now imagine trying to do with without the jump start from Sale/Eaton/Quintana. Yep I actually didn't mind Oakland series in terms of development. Yoan looked great, as did Lopez. Basically everyone that sucked in Oakland won't be around in two years.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 02:37 AM) I mean they dont really have a choice playing like this. Rick Hahn better have some magic up his sleeve for free agency. To me, no doubt in my mind they go after Moustakas.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 01:34 AM) I mean I thought it might be a good idea. But at this point it doesnt matter at all. The chances we sign a major free agent next offseason are near zero playing like this. Unless Eloy and Kopech come up. The team would need to do a 180. I know he's a Cubs fool but Kaplan on the radio said he thought the Sox weren't going to go after big name guys this offseason but could the one after. He acted like he heard that from someone.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 02:32 AM) RR not the guy to lead the Sox when they get good. Bigger question might be if Hahn is. Not sure how this front office can be trusted in getting any free agent acquisitions right.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 02:29 AM) Manny is going to be running to sign a deal with this team next offseason. The pitching is just ugly But man would he have loved it here if he got to experience the culture for a season!!!

This has been a clinic in how to ruin casual fan interest within 3 weeks

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 02:10 AM) We all know that Hawkins is terrible and deserves to be released, but why, why was he so good his first year of pro ball? What happened? Another solid reminder at how terrible the Sox have been at developing their own players

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 01:26 AM) Only the Sox lose games lie this over and over From top to bottom, this is the worst group of pitchers I've seen on the Sox at one time. It's been Lopez, Jones, Rondon and then pure garbage.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 01:25 AM) Shields sucks at this too? what’s the point First ballot tank hall of famer

Shields is a joke. Rick Hahn sure sucks at acquiring current major leaguers.

Sick and tired of basically every pitcher on the team having bad control

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 01:17 AM) James might have a very nice career in front of him as a reliever. Yeah, nope. He just has nothing on any of his pitches anymore

QUOTE (Insp @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 01:06 AM) Why is Engel still in the lineup? You mean majors

Hell of an effort by Bruce

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 10:09 PM) To go from being up 6-1, to up 9-8, takes a special bullpen skill set. Also illustrates how much MiGo being washed up hurts. Can't have him and Fulmer pitching back-to-back, as they will kill your pen

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 10:08 PM) Too early to start thinking about another Top 3-5 pick in 2019? Nope, not with the worst pitching in the AL

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 10:01 PM) Pen is just so bad...painful to watch Good thing Ricky keeps playing for one run early in games with Mariano and company in the pen
