QUOTE (shysocks @ May 7, 2015 -> 07:32 PM) Now that the first inning is in the books, here are the fruits of my research: Sox opponents have scored in 10 out of 25 first innings. The Sox have scored in 4. In no game have both teams scored in the first. Sox opponents are outscoring them 19-6 in the first inning. Well, Eaton does have one hit in the first inning all year. Probably quite a few of those runs are thanks to Abreu's homers.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 7, 2015 -> 07:30 PM) Are we still doing the really obvious things today? I'm mad I missed it, because it seems like it was worse than usual.

Not a fan of Melky hitting so high in the order vs LHP right now.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 7, 2015 -> 07:23 PM) What does this have to do with allowing first inning runs? lol Well, the question was supposedly in regards to why Sale (and maybe the other starters) are struggling, and I guess he acted like a jerk.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ May 7, 2015 -> 07:21 PM) It feels like the Sox allow a run every first inning. It has to be at least 10 or so games this year this has happened. I also heard that Cooper was incredibly rude and grouchy on the radio today. Goff and Spiegel were pretty disappointed in how he acted with the hosts before them.

Anderson's average and OPS in free fall mode. He needs to do something more at the plate than just a single a game.

For all his faults, I love seeing Avi with another clutch hit

Wow, what a win!

Wow, huge out at first there!

Darn, too much of the plate there

Too many pitches thrown by Robertson there to JD

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 7, 2015 -> 03:40 AM) How do they not get Soria on there Or the LHP to face LaRoche

Trampoline >>>>>Joba

Avi!

Ok, time for the Avi cheap hit

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 7, 2015 -> 03:31 AM) MELKY!!!! **** YEAH!!!! That got an "oh man" from me when he hit it. That's the Melky at the Cell I remember terrorizing the White Sox

Joba's not afraid to hang a pitch

MELKY!

QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 7, 2015 -> 03:28 AM) MELKMAN PLEASE HIT A HOME RUN Just get on base, Abreu's looked good tonight

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 7, 2015 -> 04:26 AM) Flowers pops up again. Why is he batting in that situation?

Another out when the Sox got it to at least three balls. Flowers is just so bad, no idea what Hahn was thinking.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 7, 2015 -> 04:19 AM) Damn. He probably has something wrong with his arm/shoulder. That's how it usually works when guys like Sale start to struggle, right? He was throwing 96mph again in the first inning, so I would highly doubt he's injured. Just bad mechanics this year and the very puzzling decision to not have him throw as many sliders. A lot of damage done to him when he had 2 strikes on the hitter tonight.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 7, 2015 -> 04:17 AM) Didn't watch it til now. Has Sale stunk tonight? Sox unable to win two in a row vs. Detroit. No surprise there, barring a rally. He was horrible, even worse than last game in Minnesota where they got a lot of cheap hits. Maybe the two worst consecutive starts in his Sox career?

Another offspeed pitch to VMart. It's like the coaches/Flowers aren't watching the games to see he can't hit fastballs.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 7, 2015 -> 03:15 AM) Damn right. That was great What happened?
