QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 08:33 PM) Johnson just doesn't look right and his demeanor is horrible He looked the same in his first start. Seems to be a little tight, which is causing his arm to drag.

Somehow gameday has his slider at basically the same speed as his fastball.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 08:25 PM) Velocity not there so far... Ugh. He has no chance of being successful in the majors with a fastball in the 89-90 range, as his command has always been his biggest question mark.

How deep was Avi's flyout in the 9th?

Yay!

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 03:48 AM) Upcoming home stand is going to be jam packed You would think the Boston series would have more fans than most weekday series...but who knows this year.

Just like with Abreu, Avi better learn how to hit that inside fastball.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 03:36 AM) So much for Webb the savior crap. Maybe being a closer would give him a little more adrenaline, which would improve his fastball?

This bullpen is awful

Abreu's gonna have to find a way to lay off that inside fastball. Besides for his 2nd AB of the season, he's struggled to elevate that pitch.

Well, time to root for Abreu or Avi to homer.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 03:15 AM) I'm going to go out on a limb and say Paulino won't be making 30 starts this year. Looks like garbage. Rienzo's going to end up logging a lot of innings this year for the Sox

This Rockies lineup is nasty

Better swing by Avi there, as he got his arms extended

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 02:51 AM) Lyles got another hit? Can he bat 4th for the Sox?

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 02:49 AM) Too long. I guess to be fair, there's only one guy in today's Sox lineup that you would predict to hit over 20 homers. Meanwhile, the Rockies have 5 or 6.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 02:49 AM) Abreu started off white hot and needs to get it going again, same with DeAza and Eaton. KC showed the blue print for how teams will attack Abreu. Tons of fastballs inside for him until he can show he can handle it.

Been a long time since last White Sox homer.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 01:35 AM) This board loved Paulino....for reasons unknown to anyone. Scott Feldman Effect

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 01:29 AM) He is not going to make June with the Sox. Unless he's injured, that wouldn't make much sense. It's not like there's a 6th starter in the organization that is too good to be in the minors.

Ever since they had that talk with Paulino about throwing too many strikes in ST, it seems he's really struggled with his command.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 01:18 AM) Wrong. You release him. I was talking about Avi

Amazing how bad Mitchell Boggs is now.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 02:04 AM) Avisail...whew, not a good start at all, all the way around. If he looks like this for over a month, then you have to send him down.

I know we've seen a few suggestions of Sox relocation the last week. Is this actually something that has any possibility of happening in the next 2 decades, or is just merely an overreaction to crappy attendance in games 2 and 3?
