  1. What an uneventful, boring game. Please pitch well Q
  2. QUOTE (harkness @ May 2, 2017 -> 03:15 AM) I just can't see Covey having any real future.... mediocre stuff with bad control.. doesn't equate. I would rather see Danish. Maybe put Covey in the pen to see if he can throw harder? As a starter, he's awful
  3. QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 2, 2017 -> 02:51 AM) It actually doesn't. He moved to the bullpen in 2012 and the velo started ticking up in 2015. The upside is obvious, he's worth more to the Sox as a competent 5th starter than a 6th inning guy. My thinking as well, and it's worth the risk IMO. He's never going to have trade value as a reliever
  4. QUOTE (Tony @ May 2, 2017 -> 02:50 AM) I'm not understanding the "We need to get rid of Covey right now" group. If no one is ready in AA or AAA (which is a whole different issue itself) then what are you even asking for at that point? A change just to make a change? I think he's gone when shields returns
  5. QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 2, 2017 -> 02:43 AM) I'd give him back to the Athletics, try Swarzak for a couple of starts and promote Cory Luebke. Sounds like a good plan
  6. QUOTE (daggins @ May 2, 2017 -> 02:34 AM) If Collins has to both learn how to catch AND reconfigure his swing, we aren't going to see him for a while, if ever. I would have much rather see him dominate offensively and struggle defensively this year. Season is still early, but his hit tool seems extremely mediocre
  7. QUOTE (Scoots @ May 2, 2017 -> 01:24 AM) Coveys is lucky to just have given that up He's got to be one of the most mediocre starters the Sox have had in a while. Oh well, just needs to give innings while Rodon gets his arm amputated
  8. Covey has nothing on these pitches. Sinker up in the zone and curve he can't command.
  9. QUOTE (ptatc @ May 2, 2017 -> 12:21 AM) I think it's a natural response to struggling. Instead of being aggressive you just try to put the ball in play. Soft hit pct up 14 pct this year
  10. Anderson needs to try to pull the ball more with authority. He seems passive at the plate and is hitting a lot of weak pop ups
  11. QUOTE (harkness @ Apr 30, 2017 -> 08:02 PM) Anderson has looked horrible since his home run. He just has to stop swinging at garbage sliders down and away. Wish we were seeing more development so far from him this year
  12. Davidson average free falling. Oh well keep hitting homers
