QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 09:21 PM) this team has picked up right where they left off last september. Look at this lineup though. With Dunn and Keppinger struggling, you have 4 guys on it that haven proven they belong in the majors. Gillaspie 6th and Danks 8th looks more like a Spring Training lineup during the World Baseball Classic.

Absolutely no reason to call up Tekotte, as he's a pointless addition to the roster with Danks already up.

Gillaspie seems to be standing way too far off the plate. Also, Flowers got a meatball to hit and couldn't do anything with it. This lineup is incredibly awful.

This strike zone would make Greg Maddux and Livan Hernandez happy. Hopefully our hitters adjust to it.

I mentioned this last night, but the most realistic acquisition would be Casper Wells. He was DFA'd 4 days ago, and would provide a much needed righty bat in the outfield if Viciedo is out.

CNN finally talking about the Watertown situation.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 19, 2013 -> 02:32 AM) Viciedo--left oblique strain. Evaluate tomorrow. Hopefully it's not a lingering issue

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 19, 2013 -> 01:20 AM) you're right -- that's a big hit to see those guys go down Flowers better be careful, he's the third member of the "prove you should be in our future plans" club

That was quick...hopefully Viciedo is ok 3-7 road trip and possibly losing two of the guys you most wanted to see develop this year for an extended period.

To me, the Sox have got to try to acquire Casper Wells. Pretty much a no-brainer to me.

0-3, 3 k for Hawkins. It's getting to the point you have to demote him.

Flowers showing some big time opposite field power with this new stance.

Tolleson get the call if Viciedo goes to DL? Sox will see 3 good to great lefties (Diamond, Moore, Price) on the home stand.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 19, 2013 -> 01:54 AM) Player #2 to the DL, inc! Time to find a back-up righty outfielder.

Oh boy, Viciedo won't be back for a while. If that's a strained oblique, that's really going to hamper him for a month or so.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 19, 2013 -> 12:47 AM) Just bench him against Worley and Diamond, and he can face Correia on Sunday. Exactly

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 19, 2013 -> 12:39 AM) Why did they take Dickey out? Good question, but good

BTW here's that video of Hawkins' homer http://www.milb.com/multimedia/vpp.jsp?content_id=26377401

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Apr 19, 2013 -> 12:35 AM) Yep. I'd like to see some more strikeouts though. I swear I thought you were talking about Hawkins at first.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 19, 2013 -> 01:34 AM) I hope he is not Teahan 2.0 Even if he's a total failure as a starter, he should have value as a utility player/specialist vs LHP.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 19, 2013 -> 12:25 AM) Hawkins--that's one that's two...goodness

Keppinger 0 for his last 15 now, and OPS is below .375

I wish the Sox only had one of Wise/Danks on the roster and added another righty on the bench. It would be nice to be able to bench Dunn against a LHP and have a righty take his spot.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 19, 2013 -> 01:17 AM) Gotta like Chris Beck's season so far. Um, yes

I miss good Chris Sale. He should have had no problems with this bad lineup tonight. He needs to regain the swagger he had in the first half of last season.
