fathom

Danks allowing far too many base runners against this lineup.

I see where play-by-play says there were some deep fly outs. Morel/Viciedo hit it good?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 03:04 PM) Darn early Spring games. Hopefully they get the game in as you sure don't want a bunch of doubleheaders later in the season I'd gladly have this game ppd if it means missing Masterson. However, weather seems to be ok in Cleveland today.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 04:40 AM) And very mediocre looking. That's our top prospect you're saying that about

Mediocre start for Molina. Unfortunately, our minor league prospects are not performing well so far at all.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 09:35 PM) They have a travel day Thursday, so Masterson would be on 7 days rest if they didn't use him tomorrow, but then they play the Royals over the weekend with Lowe and Jiminez as the next 2 up in their order. I'll be stunned if they don't pitch Masterson tomorrow. Usually don't want sinker ballers going on extra rest.

Stinks because we'll miss their #5 and get Masterson instead tomorrow.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 07:45 PM) In this lineup that is true. I was thinking more to the future when De Aza leads off I'll be honest, Rios in the 2nd spot seems like a 6-4-3 DP waiting to happen. Oh well, let's see if Manto's philosophy of using the whole field continues to pay off for him.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 07:41 PM) Whoa. That lineup is confusing on the eyes. Rios in the 2-spot is intriguing I'd rather they flip-flop Beckham and Rios

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 08:38 PM) All fathom said was IF he's significantly improved. I know fathom watches a ton of non-Sox baseball. Maybe he's seen something different in Austin that wasn't there his first two years? Not that he's an expert. Nobody here is. We've got Alex Rios for CPOTY threads popping up after one HR and nobody saying s***. Thanks J4L...I never said Jackson is significantly improved. Just saying that if he HAS improved (which is very possibly), then that lineup went from dangerous to potentially great.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 07:33 PM) It was a valid point. Everything is dropping for the kid a whopping 4+ games in, but he'll wind up being Austin Jackson. or that he has two multi-walk games already this year (only had 8 all of last year)

Tigers on verge of winning again. If Austin Jackson has significantly improved from last year, that's just not fair.

Brewers defense trying to give the Cubs the game here.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 01:49 AM) Sox young pitching is awesome right now Ventura managed the bullpen perfectly. Kipnis was going to be Sale's last batter no matter what it seems like.

Rangers lineup is amazing

Gas! Nice to even up the record

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 02:45 AM) Screw the pitch trax, that was a strike. He might be the quickest working closer of all time

NASTY!

Good thing that didn't happen on Saturday night.

Wow, feel free to call for the offspeed pitch AJ

Santiago is a very quick worker.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 02:38 AM) Beckham is literally like a pitcher at the plate. He was swinging a wiffle ball bat last inning.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 02:37 AM) Will Adam Dunn get a hit off a lefty? Concerning at bats for him the last few games. It's too bad we just can't platoon him.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 02:31 AM) Who pitches the 9th for the Sox? Santiago

Love the managing letting De Aza swing on 3-0 with Morel on deck!
