QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 21, 2015 -> 03:26 AM) Abreu just looking average this year. He's struggling it seems with anything slow that's not up in the zone

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 21, 2015 -> 03:25 AM) Was Melky getting roids in Toronto last year or something? Not sure, but he looks like the cleanest player in baseball this year. Absolutely no carry on anything he hits.

I assume Rodon is done?

Mercy, lucky they only got 1

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 21, 2015 -> 03:16 AM) 19 walks in 21.2 innings. Jesus that's nearly demotion territory. He just doesn't look comfortable on the mound. His slider has been pretty worthless tonight. Miracle he's done as well as he has

How is no one warming up?

Wow big K!

Might want to get the pen up

Fastball command is awful. Really stupid pitch selection there

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 21, 2015 -> 02:01 AM) I just want to see him hit the ball hard. Can't keep fielding this 7-8-9. Sanchez can stay for defensive reason, and catcher is the more likely spot to be improved on

Sanchez hits just an insane amount of ground balls. He really shouldn't be swinging at the first pitch.

Two different zones tonight

Sanchez is incredible on the turn

Reminded me of Pods grand slam vs Pettitte

Eaton bomb! Only homers vs Indians!

Sox hitters look terrible so far

Heck of a turn! Sanchez has been superb on D

Rodon getting squeezed. Doesn't have a lot of zip so far

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 21, 2015 -> 02:16 AM) Marcum has had a ton of success against us in the past. The Sox suck at hitting pitchers with good change ups. Only a 5 mph difference though. He's getting way too many swings and misses

Offense needs to wake up. Not facing Oakland's awful D anymore

Sure seems like Conor has been a very bad offspeed hitter this year

And Melky is gassed on an 86mph fastball

Marcum is throwing 84-85 mph

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 20, 2015 -> 06:27 PM) Yes and no on Danish. Velocity is one thing, but every scout who's watched him refers to the movement on all his pitches as some form of filthy. What that does mean though is, I'd bet he's a guy who has a few really good games, then one really bad one if his stuff flattens out. There won't be any in-between. Until he figures out how to get lefties out, he's going to have a tough time remaining as a starter when he makes the majors. He's the main trade chip the Sox should use if they want to add at the deadline, in my opinion.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 20, 2015 -> 04:11 AM) I taught my brother a slider when he was 13. You would of thought it was David Cone up there with the reactions. Throw it inside, watch the kid bail, get your k. Funny you mention that, as I modeled my slider after that of Cone. If you threw sidearm to a righty, they would end up out of the batters box.
