QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 11:57 PM) After this blowout and a day off, i am expecting the offense to expldode on Wednesday. the "INNER" coffee has to be percolating, and after a day off from this embarassment, there will be adenalin to murder KC on wednesday. My prediction 8+ to 2 And Beckham will be playing!!

KC's not a powerhouse, but they are a tough team to consistently beat due to their defense and bullpen. They have just as good of a chance as anyone else in the AL Central (besides Twins) to win the division.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 10:46 PM) Bring back Ozzie!!!! We need FIRE!!!!!! Didn't know Gardenhire changed his name to Ozzie

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 10:33 PM) go get them tmr. This looks very, very familiar however. Defense still sucks, back of the pen still sucks worse. Again, so much seems to have carried over from ST.

Haha, Drabek has no business being on an MLB roster.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 10:32 PM) Not a great opening day showing. At the end of the day, with the way the contracts are structured on this team, I want to see a lot of growth and hopefully they can catch some breaks and get into the playoffs. This isn't the Bulls where the window is closing. This team has a lot of potential, is relatively young and had a solid foundation. Agreed, development is the biggest focus I have for the team this year. If this team wins 70 games again though, it's going to be horrible from a PR and ticket aspect. Hoping for 82-83 wins, even though I think I predicted 77.

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
