Once spring training ends, all these mistakes will go away

Another defensive blunder by the opposition that resulted in a big Cubs inning.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 08:57 PM) Danks is bad It's a shame that he's guaranteed starts just because of his contract. There's little doubt he will end up one of the worst starters in the AL. His extension might be the worst contract in Sox history

It's early but it looks like KC hit the jackpot on Volquez and Morales. Their pitching coach is outstanding.

With Wainwright likely done for the season, hopefully the Cards go and get Hamels.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 02:55 AM) Hawkins with a Golden Sombrero, ouch. Just hoping he can turn into a platoon player. I can't picture him ever being a full time outfielder.

When's the last time someone got suspended while appealing another suspension? Herrera should be proud of that.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 04:12 AM) And now they are in a delay. Do you think they suspend it? Wouldn't be the worst thing to get the relievers a breather.

The catcher position is such a liability for the Sox. Still kind of annoyed Hahn didn't address it this offseason.

You know it's going bad for LaRoche when I google his contract terms to make sure it wasn't a 3 year deal.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 02:55 AM) He's still only 23 and without the benefit of a full season in the Major Leagues, so you would think he does have time, with experience, to fine tune those tools and then recognize his talent. The problem I have at this point is trying to get him to do that underneath the pressure of being a middle-of-the-order hitter. I think he needs to be down around 7th in the order at this stage of his career. When's the last time the Sox were able to help a young hitter develop and adjust to the scouting report against him?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 02:45 AM) Avi is such a bad guesser. No pitch recognition at all. I really hope it's something he can learn. Right now he knows if he's going to swing while they are delivering the pitch Problem with Avi is Hahn and company treated him like a future superstar this past offseason. The lineup looks awful with the equivalent of a slap hitter batting 5th.

Rizzo just doesn't make outs late in the game.

You know me, I think this team should bring back Viciedo and let him platoon with LaRoche.

Can I get a description of Bonifacio's out?

Problem with Avi is he hasn't developed any of his tools. If anything, he has gotten bigger which has slowed him down.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 02:54 AM) good lord marlon byrd What happened, another awful defensive play

They can't keep batting Melky 2nd vs LHP

See the usual is happening. Happy I can't watch this. The LHP lineup has too many holes in it.

Dan hayes has a tweet that Rios helped play peacemaker. Maybe the greatest contribution he has ever made to the Sox.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 10:44 PM) Yeah pretty clear he did and the Sox are trying to keep it quiet So disappointing. He has no one to blame but himself if he misses a start.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 06:53 PM) The Robin Ventura angle on this fight...if you're anti-Robin, choose your battles. This isn't one of them. More disappointed in the stupid decisions made by Sale the last 10 months or so, dating back to the cheating accusation in Detroit

That's just unbelievably dumb by Sale if true.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 07:22 PM) Valpo and Notre Dame. Bout sums it up for me. ND football and Cubs pitcher equals the ideal villain for many Sox fans. Let's not forget Hawk talking all sorts of trash about him after he drilled PK.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 03:00 PM) i am not saying that the source is correct, but they probably have crossed paths in the minors. I highly doubt the guy is talking about stuff Eaton did at the major league level Maybe he's talking about Adam Eaton, the former Padres pitcher
