QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 8, 2018 -> 08:51 PM) Ricky's boys got swept by an awful team. Ricky's team is awful also

QUOTE (Richie @ Apr 8, 2018 -> 08:50 PM) He had a .314 OBP coming into this game. You hit the ball hard. Hits will come. That simple. Tried and true. He's striking out nearly 40 pct of the time. It's not like he hasn't been awful with contact in the past

My god

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 8, 2018 -> 08:48 PM) And a DP. Who would have thought Simply awful offense the last two games.

Abreu freaking garbage this homestand. Too busy trying to stay warm

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 8, 2018 -> 09:34 PM) What’s Moncada’s exit velocity as he walks out of the box back to the dugout? The whole exit velocity argument should only illustrate how important it is for him to put the ball in play more. Currently, he might as well have PK wheels because he does nothing to utilize his speed.

Ha more Moncada k looking. Wonder how long it takes him to learn to stop guessing with two strikes

Yolmer swinging at more offspeed junk off the plate

Impressive by Rondon

Welington looks like complete crap in the cold. Also was a blunder not putting Engel in to run. Can't play for the homer in these conditions

Heck of a start to the season for Lopez. Very promising

Overpowering with the 88 mph high fastball. This is epic corpseball so far

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 8, 2018 -> 08:57 PM) Keith Law has been on the kick for a while. What did he say about Sale, again? Don't have the rankings in front of me, but didn't he drop in a lot of the top 100 polls because of these question marks?

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 8, 2018 -> 07:53 PM) At 22 years of age, there is ZERO reason to be going down that route right now. I just never hear anyone outside the Sox org project him as a starter. I love his stuff though and would argue he looked better than Kopech in the spring

Cy Fiers making it look easy

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 8, 2018 -> 08:42 PM) I think one of Lopez/Cease will be our closer eventually Cease is easy pick for me

Lopez desperately needs to work on his fastball command. Stuff is so good but hits the wall pretty quickly

Nice start for Clarkin. Didn't allow any flyouts so far

This team is very bad recognizing offspeed pitches

This is just bad baseball against a horrible pitcher

Wtf are they talking about with only one opposite field homer last year? Not true at all

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 8, 2018 -> 06:38 PM) I watched the start against the Mariners in spring training, and my first impression was he will be a very good reliever— like David Robertson. Not that they should do that (they shouldn’t). But he’s going to be a good big league pitcher someday. Not so sure he's not a big league closer right now

Shocker, strikes out on offspeed pitch. Hey Yoan, maybe swing at the 89 mph fastball down the plate next time

Yoan back to taking first pitch strike again today

Anderson off to a great start!
