Looking ahead a week, but of course, the Sox will have to face Cueto in Cincy. The starting rotation match-up gods have been quite cruel to the Sox this season.

Can't wait for Delmon Young to look like the toughest out in history. One player that's been on fire for them is Paredes.

But Hawk said we have the best defensive outfield in the AL? Also interesting to see how bad Semien's defense has been at SS this year.

We are Royals-ing KC

Awesome Conor! Pen in 7th?

Alexei has been abysmal offensively

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 09:35 PM) Only 3 walks issued this season going into today had 70 something last year. Interesting lol KC pitching coach does an incredible job of getting his guys to throw with max velocity while maintaining command.

The Sox are going to have a big call at 3b pretty soon. Conor seems to have been a couple months wonder. Davidson is not MLB caliber at this point. It's too bad they didn't cash in their chips for Donaldson.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 09:31 PM) Why are our hitters always hitting in a 0-2 hole and most of the time only one of those pitches is a strike Most of them are easy to pitch to, and even if you make a mistake, they aren't going to hit it over the fence regularly. I know I have said this a lot, but they have 6 positions out of 9 that bring minimal to mediocre power to the plate.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 09:15 PM) I preferred when Alex Gordon was bad. He will be elsewhere next year

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?
