QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 08:12 PM) Keppinger is swinging a really good looking bat right now. On the radio yesterday, they were saying how much better he swings when he goes after the first pitch.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 08:12 PM) De Aza's been trying for that all bloody day. That was crushed

Nice job Peavy!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 08:03 PM) God, we got a lead and suddenly this thread went completely silent. Anyone warming up for the Sox?

Viciedo's mechanics are brutal right now, as he's totally swinging off his back foot. He's having a horrendous time trying to stay on top of the ball.

PK!! Just in time before they take Myers out.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 07:26 PM) Lead off man on board again for the 4th straight inning? Can we do something. Of course not

Just noticed that Sox haven't drawn a walk again

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 07:18 PM) Well if the season keeps going this way someone is going to be relieved of their duties. It will be core players traded, and not Ventura/Cooper/Manto

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 07:15 PM) I'm one of the last people to want a skipper fired.....but my goodness this is getting ridiculous He won't get fired, he'll just quit after this season like a lot of the media seemed to suggest would happen.

People still want to argue that a better manager wouldn't make a difference? These decisions are absolutely insane by Ventura.

Flowers with a hit!! Come on ADA

This is an unbelievably poorly coached team. Nothing like stealing with one of the worst contact hitters on the planet up.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 06:06 PM) His fingerprints all over this disaster. Of course, but it's not like people can plead for him to be fired, etc.

Kenny Williams is the smartest man alive, talk about great timing

Haha, the same bulls*** we saw to end last season has continued this year. What a disgusting performance so far this season.

Konerko with some awfully defensive swings in that situation. Looked like he was batting with a runner on 2nd and no outs.

Wow, Dunn got overpowered by Myers there. So happy he continues to bat 4th, but hey, he's disappointed in himself.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 05:43 PM) I don't understand how he's taking so many called strike 3's. Really makes you wonder what the hell he's thinking when he watches a fastball for strike 3. Go down swinging for f*** sake He has a terrible eye at the plate. It's like he guesses far too often, which resulted in more walks in the minors due to pitchers just having awful control.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 05:40 PM) Absolute stud at catcher for us. Joe Mauer, Alex Avila, Salvador Perez and Carlos Santana.....and Tyler Flowers

I predict Olacio's ERA will go down

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 13, 2013 -> 11:20 PM) AJP has two homers also. I ain't saying I am just sayin It's only fitting that Youk and AJP are tearing the cover off the ball.

BTW, another zero walk performance by the Sox. Simply amazing

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 13, 2013 -> 11:12 PM) Remember that time when Flowers started the season with 2 HRs in 2 games, and looked like a MLB hitter? Someone asked earlier what type of leash Flowers would have this year, and they better give him the whole season to prove he's MLB caliber. If not, then you move on from him next year. They committed to Flowers and Viciedo during the offseason, so you might as well see if you have anything there outside of a platoon player.
