QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 3, 2014 -> 03:20 AM) Nieto 3-4 one positive tonight besides Abreu HR. Erik Johnson pitching well in AAA probably the best news of the day relating to the Sox.

Semien is AWFUL at grounders at 3rd he has to charge.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 3, 2014 -> 01:59 AM) 90% of that bullpen is transients who won't be on the roster when this team matters. Yet Petricka and Webb have been asked to go long in games. Another thing is that by destroying your bullpen with these type of games, it could put unnecessary stress on the arms of other starters because they have to go longer due to a banged-up bullpen.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 3, 2014 -> 01:51 AM) The way the big league staff looks right now, the Sox will have no choice but to deal with Boras if Rodon is there at three. No way they can justify taking a high school arm over him. +1

QUOTE (flavum @ May 3, 2014 -> 02:45 AM) I can see why Cleto is bouncing from team to team. It's simply amazing how many players on this team would probably be in the minors on a contending team(Noesi, Cleto, Semien, Nieto, JorDanks, Rienzo, Carroll). The current Sox roster looks like what a bad team does after the trade deadline.

0 tool player sadly...I'll be shocked if Micah Johnson's not the starting 2B next year.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 3, 2014 -> 01:35 AM) Too early to shut Sale and Q. down? Let's just hope they can start up Sale again. With that said, Ventura/Cooper should be fired on the spot if either of them goes over 115 pitches again this year.

Oh look, another run allowed after the Sox score. Leury Garcia truly does throw harder than Downs.

Might be time to try someone else in the 2nd spot. You just can't go with Danks and Beckham batting in front of Abreu the next week.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 3, 2014 -> 02:16 AM) Eaton day-to-day with hamstring. He's not going to be a 150 game player ever, is he? 135 games will be a good year for him. A good 4th outfielder will be very important on this roster the next few years given his injury issues...and Avi's inability to dive.

Semien's going to get sent down soon, and it's probably for the best.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 3, 2014 -> 02:10 AM) 14% Holy cow, that's even worse when you consider how often the Sox score.

Davidson just can't string together good games. 0-3, 2K

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 3, 2014 -> 01:01 AM) About a 40% clip so far. What's league average?

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 3, 2014 -> 01:59 AM) Danks has thrown changeup after changeup, high and up. He still doesn't seem close to being healthy, as it seems so hard for him to consistently pitch down in the zone.

These pitchers have been unreal this year at allowing runs after the Sox score.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 3, 2014 -> 12:54 AM) Wow ??

He is great. So happy we get to root for him.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 3, 2014 -> 12:47 AM) Sad Sox have nobody better in minors with all the OF drafted. Too bad Micah Johnson hasn't gotten reps out there.

Wow, I never noticed K. Walker's OPS. Ouch

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 3, 2014 -> 01:40 AM) I think I read he leads MLB in hitting the ball on the ground so far I 2014. Which is fine except in situations like that.

Jordan Danks with a lot of undeserved at bats coming up the next few weeks.

Eaton leaves the game. You have to DL him and let him get his leg right again. What a nightmare the health situation has been.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 3, 2014 -> 01:36 AM) Yes. Particular Eaton. Not a fan of the slap up the middle swing in those situations. Done it far too often of late.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 3, 2014 -> 01:34 AM) Come on Eaton need 2 at least Just awful at bats of late by the team with RISP.
