QUOTE (JoshPR @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 07:31 PM) Ok we get it... you dont like robin.... How does anyone?

Went to a meeting with 2 on and no outs, and came back to see what happened. Eaton has made way too many dumb decisions already this year. I just don't see Ventura being the right manager for this team.

Here comes the bunt...maybe Cleveland will throw it away?

Indians offense really didn't do much today. Chisenhall's double (when he should have been IBB) was their only big hit of the day.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 02:46 PM) I have a hard time seeing the Sox pass on Matuela if he is there. While he is recovering from surgery, he should be in line to be ready for ST next year and could push in way through the system faster than anyone in this draft will, except perhaps those headed for bullpen roles. I still like DJ Stewart, if I were the Sox I would contact them both and throw out a dollar amount and say the first one to accept will be our pick. I have an incredibly hard time picturing the Sox drafting someone that high coming off of TJ surgery. Just doesn't seem like their thing to do.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 07:43 PM) You're having a bad year managing. I don't get what problem people have with Beckham. He's had good at bats and played solid defense. Bonifacio, on the other hand, has looked like he's done with baseball since the second Spring Training games started.

I would have much rather had Avi and Gillaspie face a RHP than LaRoche face a LHP and Beckham face a RHP.

Way to let LaRoche bat Robin...ugh. He's totally going to treat him as if he's a good hitter against LHP, isn't he?

You have 4 righties on the bench, and you let LaRoche face a LOOGY?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 06:31 PM) Wait, Noesi was warming in the pen earlier?? Yes, they're skipping his start this round

Another good outing for Jennings

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 07:25 PM) it's not exactly like the Tribe are playing a great game either. They are giving the Sox plenty of freaking outs themselves. I know it's very early, but the Tigers and Royals seem to be the better constructed teams this year.

The Sox vs the Nationals would seem like a Little League game. This defense is inexcusable.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 07:19 PM) Yeah, it's amazing we have won 3 games in a row with the way we have played Blaine Boyer's been our MVP. But yes, this team better start hitting and fielding going into Detroit, as they have a lineup full of guys that are on fire early.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 07:19 PM) Top of the order really needs to get its collective act together. Give Eaton the day off against Price

No walks combined for Eaton/Melky so far this year.

Swing the freaking bats

This team needs to do a better job of adjusting to the strike zone.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 07:10 PM) Even after the 3 k's today, .292 2 hr 5 rbi in 8 games Not bad. It was less than 72 hours ago, Robin was an idiot pinch hitting for Soto. The hitting has been good, it's the defense that has been disappointing from the two. Flowers looks like he's using a glove that not's broken in yet.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 07:03 PM) Hat trick for Soto I always love going on baseball reference and seeing his OPS jump from .739 as a 23 year old in Iowa (AAA) to 1.076 as a 24 year old in Iowa

That will be it for Bauer. They'll probably bring in a LHP to start the 7th, so hopefully it will be Bonifacio batting for Johnson.

Nice rally this inning to get it into a bloop/blast range

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 06:57 PM) down 4 runs we are swinging away 3-0. This team is just dumb. Just making some very dumb decisions. Everyone seems to be pressing.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 06:56 PM) So for 2 April starts as a rookie, you are willing to trade April, May, June, July, August, September and any postseason starts when he is 28 or 29? In what is looking to be two starts where the offense didn't show up, and the Sox would have lost no matter how well Rodon pitched

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 05:52 PM) How many errors by Gillaspie this season so far? 3? 4
