QUOTE (MuckFinnesota @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 09:45 PM) So what acquisitions and incumbents in particular is everyone b****ing about? Avila, Jackson and Garcia? Well Salty does have almost as many homers as Avila/Navarro have hits. Biggest issue was no lefty hitter to use with Avi

What a great AB

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 08:43 PM) Great off speed stuff today from Duke but goodness he should not have been in to face Beltre. Yep

this managing is terrible

I don't get why he pitched Albers in a 5-0 game last night but let Petricka pitch in a tie game.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 08:32 PM) Replace Avi today with competent MLB hitter, we probably have 4-5 runs easily. Don't forget our terrible center fielder. His metrics make Avi look like a superstar.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 08:30 PM) This offense is a complete and utter f***ing joke. Shame on Hahn for still having Avi in this lineup. Yep, the org put far too much trust into Avi and a terrible hitting coach

Can't keep losing these games with great pitching. Needless to say, Hahn messed up big time with this roster construction.

Eaton slumping also

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 08:20 PM) How long of a leash do you give Avi? He doesn't have a good track record like Frazier and Abreu, hence why there is patience for them. Better be sent down after tomorrow.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 08:20 PM) Petricka is not and never will be a high leverage pitcher. Stupid use of him there

Offense just has too many bad hitters getting a lot of at bats. Also, why Petricka over Albers or Jones? Figures for me that AJax is awful. Always was one of my most hated athletes.

1 hit thru 3.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 07:45 PM) Austin Jackson needs to spend some "time in the weight room" with Melky Cabrera. He could use a little "strength training"... Needs to use the whole field more. He's pulling off everything causing him to hit everything off the end of the bat despite being on the pitch.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 06:42 PM) Avi needs to go to charlotte. Clear his mind a lil. Save him while theres hope Couldn't agree more. With him having an option left, it seems like such an obvious solution.

Avi is just so lost at the plate. Hate they keep wasting outs with him.

Stay hot Melky!

Rodon's slider is down 3 mph this year. Hopefully this is on purpose and not a result of fatigue from last season (despite the Sox managing his innings well).

of course Desmond hurts the Sox

Let's see if an 87 mph dominates them today

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 06:24 PM) good god Jose is f***ing awful right now. He's not even close on anything offspeed and his bat is way, way late on fastballs. Give Abreu tomorrow off if he stinks again today.

It's like Abreu forgot that hitting to right field is allowed. 2-0 slider and grounds out softly to the pitcher.

Hope Rodon comes out throwing hard and with a good slider instead of aiming the ball

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 05:23 AM) If the Sox drafted him, I wouldn't be upset. I would be, SEC teams are crushing him

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 04:35 AM) Nice job by Sanchez and Coats homering in the 9th. Adams had an early 9-0 lead. Maybe a little let up, and he challenged guys. I wouldn't read into this start too deep. Adams did face the superstar Red Sox affiliate
