QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 10:29 PM) Jennings was much better off pitching to Morales. Called that before the Gordon at bat. Hopefully they don't treat Morales like a god all season and go after him. He's one of the worst hitters in the KC lineup.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 10:28 PM) Well...... This defense very well might be worse than last year. Melky is nothing special in LF, and Johnson's going to be a huge downgrade.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 10:13 PM) What was LaRoche even swinging at there? Those weren't even close When he's going bad, he looks as clueless as Dunn does at the plate.

Not quite sure why they let him start that inning...oh well

Great for Jose to get on the board early!

At best, Flowers should be the righty part of a platoon. Not quite sure why Hahn put so much faith in him this year.

Sloppiness continues. That just can't happen there.

Disappointing effort from Samardzija. Better learn to keep the ball in the park in the AL.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 09:31 PM) I love how Flowers stares at pitches right down the middle and then he swings at garbage. Been his calling card since he's been here. He has terrible pitch recognition.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 09:12 PM) I'm happy Hahn didn't give this bum an extension. He's trash. He's not trash, but I have never thought he was an ace. IIRC, he also fades horribly during the 2nd half of the season. If he wants ace money (which I know he does), I say make him prove it this year in the American League and then talk contract after the year.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 09:09 PM) Well this has been disappointing so far Honestly, not shocking given how terrible they looked in Spring Training the last few weeks.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 09:09 PM) Color me unimpressed by Shark. Probably the most overrated pitcher in baseball the last 3 years.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 09:07 PM) I have seen enough of Flowers for 2015 already. Still kinda shocking to me they keep bringing him back.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 08:57 PM) Why are these guys not making this kid work harder? Don't want to get to their bullpen

No reason to ever throw a first pitch strike to Perez.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 08:45 PM) That slider has been ugly from shark. Never been a fan of that pitch from him. Always liked it when he just focused on fastball/splitter.

Avi stay in game?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 08:50 PM) I think the Brewers can be decent. That pitching is awful

I can confidently say the following teams have no shot this season: - Braves - Phillies - Dbacks - Twins - Brewers - Rockies - Astros - Rangers

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 07:07 PM) So who's the player who has a good game that we overreact to and who's the player who has a bad game that we overreact to? Samardzija for both

That Braves lineup is one of the worst Opening Days lineups I've seen

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:10 PM) So does Bryant make a difference in yesterday's game? I mean the wonder twins got 1 hit and 1 BB. Probably not, as the ball was dying as it got to the warning track.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:20 PM) Wasn't one of the losses in KC, with Billy Koch blowing the game in Ozzie's debut as a manager? I think he said he told the team to go out and get drunk after the game. The circus was open. One of the worst sports days of my life, as GT then got blown out by UCONN in the championship game that night.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 07:34 AM) Fathom, this is why I always feel bad for you. If you are going to always be obsessed with the Cubs, at least enjoy nights like these It was an enjoyable game to watch. The Cubs offense will be very good, but I do think it's quite comical they looked so bad given their fans begging for Bryant to be up now.

Wow what a joke the refs turned this game into
