QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 03:16 AM) stupid white sox and your late inning approach... No complaints that inning.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 03:16 AM) Oh ok...good to know we traded other future MLB'ers along with Swish for that great haul we got back... There's two players from that trade in this game...and both are on the Royals. Still a shockingly bad trade.

Way to go Sergio!

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 03:07 AM) Games like this are going to kill me throughout the year. If we were really going "all in", we should have brought Jenks back in the bullpen to make it easier. Well, it took 4 games for this post.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 03:02 AM) Currently there is a command issue with our relievers. Getting into hitters counts constantly is a recipe for problems. You have to figure that they will get better at it. Sale had two pretty easy chances to put Gordon away with the slider, and missed with a fastball and then with the slider.

Hitters struggling with the low and away slider tonight. Like Alexei showed, got to use the whole field instead of just trying to hit home runs.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 02:55 AM) They should have signed a lefty instead of hindering Sale's devleopment as a starter. Sale has a chance to be an ace if he can stay healthy with those mechanics. They did...but he's been Oh-ful so far.

Very nice inning by Crain. Time to hope for a solo homer by the Sox.

Well, can't say I miss Bettancourt tonight.

I hate that bat crack noise when they flash the score.

And that's a great 3-1 pitch to a slugger.

Mercy, dating back to his last game, Crain is hanging every single offspeed pitch he throws.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 03:33 AM) Gordon and Butler both feast on Sale fastballs. Anybody worried about Sale's stuff? It's his command, as well as throwing a meatball to their best hitter when the last thing you should ever throw is a fastball.

KC always does this to the Sox. The bullpen is a huge concern right now. Probably should have gone with Crain to face the righty, but not a big deal.

Wow, what a terrible pitch. You can't let him beat you in that situation. I miss the Chris Sale that threw 97 mph.

Gordon is right on every fastball so far this year.

Morel's swing seems to be all arms. Mechanics were a bit different last season.

Whew...strange 7 innings for Gavin, but a very gutsy effort after seeming out of it to start the game.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 03:02 AM) It appears only Danks had his good stuff thus far among all our starters. Yet, none have allowed more than 4 runs. I'd say that's decent. It's all around baseball though. Very few pitchers I've seen have looked on in their first start.

Very nice Gavin! Pretty interested in watching Crow pitch.

Great reaction by Morel there!

Jenks actually looked really good in that Red Sox game.

Ball jumped off of Beckham's bat there.

Pierre picks up Morel! Steal another base Juan.

Ugh...Morel's really going to try out patience at the plate this year.
