Here comes the 5-4-3 TP

QUOTE (Mike F. @ May 7, 2015 -> 08:20 PM) Avi is a beast. You get a LHP out there without a big fastball, and he's going to mash him.

Nice inning, keep it going!

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 7, 2015 -> 08:07 PM) According to the stats I just saw, Eaton doesn't have an RBI all year. Is he overrated or just slumping? On base percentage sucks. Obviously slumping, hopefully it's just a slump and last year wasn't a fluke. I really wish he could be moved down in the order and bat 9th right now, but it's not like anyone else is making a strong case for #1.

Just saw the highlight of the wild pitch that scored the run....Flowers has got to keep that in front of him. Similar to his lazy effort in Q's last game.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 7, 2015 -> 08:02 PM) Our offense is just bad.. Better step it up the 2nd time through the order Just not constructed to hit LHP. Realistically, Abreu/Avi/Flowers/Beckham are only guys I trust vs LHP right now.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 7, 2015 -> 06:54 PM) He's going to have to get Cespedes out at some point this season, dont just run and hide from the guy. Hopefully it works, but you have a guy that owns Q followed by the struggling Martinez.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 7, 2015 -> 06:48 PM) Q may very well be in kill-mode today. How about the offense score at least 1 for him today??

Some of the numbers for the team vs LHP are crazy bad: Alexei: 1-15, no walks Melky: 2-28, 1 walk Abreu: 4-23, 1 2b, 1 HR, 2 walks LaRoche: 5-24, 1 walk Moral of the story is: cut Bonifacio, bring back Viciedo!

Any scouting reports on Jay from those that have seen him pitch (and no, not when he was 12 )

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
