So Davidson decided he will walk more and also just take called 3rd strikes. Yay

Good contact this inning

QUOTE (Moncada @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 09:03 PM) This team needs to learn to hit the ball all over again I blame Ron

Yoan continues to just swing and miss at nearly every offspeed pitch he sees. 20k in 51 at bats

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 08:56 PM) What value does Adam Engel bring to a MLB caliber team? Super small sample size, but he's already our worst fWAR defensive player

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 08:53 PM) If you take the weather, the opponents, and the results, it has to be one of the worst homestands they have ever had. It's been a course in how to kill any casual fan interest with a week of games. Things were so going well and then Soria blew it. Team seems to be pressing ever since

More 2 strike, 2 out damage....that's new

Chokers....team can't hit offspeed pitches

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 11:00 PM) garbage team is garbage Tampa sucks also

Just saw 9th. Good try

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 10:28 PM) Is there a single one of you that doesn't miss Hawk now? Woof. Wish they would start from scratch with both tv and radio

Amazing how bad they are with risp

Nice hit for Yoan. Should steal here

Welington out with knee soreness

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 09:26 PM) The thing about young teams is they feed off eachotehr good and bad. Except when they get cold, they all get cold together and for longer than when they get hot. But when they get hot it's something you can dream on. Feels like a team that when Abreu is going well, everyone else feeds off of it. Good news is Abreu is going well more than he's struggling.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 08:19 PM) Hitting .181 as a team, with RISP, isn't helping matters. Do you think it's cause pitchers are more likely to throw offspeed pitches in those situations as they go for the strikeout?

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 08:14 PM) not rocket science why....he sucks batting right handed. Truly wonder if he will ever stop batting righty. Give him this year, but they will have to re-evaluate it

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 07:55 PM) Repeat after me: player development is not a linear function. There are zero guarantees that these guys come up and become stars right away. That is more rare than your typical player development function which is more like a sinusoidal function. Full of peaks and valleys. If you're referring to Fulmer, he's been bad since 2016 everywhere he's gone

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 07:54 PM) It's going to be nice when Sox pitchers start throwing strikes again. Too many walks, way too few strikeouts from the starters. Oh well, at least Kopech/Cease/Dunning have looked good and Lopez looks great

This is how Fulmer looked in the spring unfortunately.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 08:38 PM) I feel like Castillo gives very little effort when he swings Hope he tells Manny it feels just like Florida weather

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 07:27 PM) He's very good if he only has to pitch an inning or two at a time. Obviously that isn't what we hoped for when the Sox drafted him, but he could still be a valuable contributor on the next good Sox team. Hopefully his velocity increases a bit as reliever. Two years ago, it did not

1-18 for Abreu at home

Fulmer has no command today. Painful to watch

QUOTE (cjgalloway @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 07:09 PM) Moncada K's more than I blink. Exit velocity doesn't matter if you don't make contact
