Sit on the fastball PK.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:27 PM) Pito or Jose Daniel I've seen Daniel used a few times but his name is Jose Dariel .

Flowers already with almost as many singles as he had all of last year.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 06:33 PM) I'd like to amend my 27 homer prediction for Abreu. Man, that guy is good. Not sure what I predicted . I think 39.

Good job. His stance is more closed now too. His foot foot was pointed more toward left field last year in the videos and now in the new videos he's square to the pitcher , front foot towards CF.

Thanks for taking the bat out of our most dangerous hitter's hands ump.

QUOTE (johndyce @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 11:22 AM) You guys remember this time last year PK was putting up more MVP numbers? Man it would be nice to have some of that back this year. A fully functional PK and this is a LOADED lineup. What's with the inability to realize PK is a part time player by his own choice ?

Dunn !!!!!!!!

QUOTE (BaconOnAStick @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) Did anyone read that NYT article on shifts this summer? It was really good. Said the sox weren't shifting as much compared to other teams. I think they picked up on it this year. That shift where Semien plays right up the middle has saved some singles from going through. I think I started a thread on the lack of shifts last year and if anyone thought that was going to change. Maybe it was in spring training .

Sox win good.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 05:21 PM) 6 for last 58 Someone needs to make DeAza an honorary Cuban.

Sox lineup now featuring 3 guys in the .360's batting average.

Sox win quickly overshadowed by 15 day DL stint for Sale.

Oh man say goodbye for any chance at staying .500 or above for a month.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 06:22 PM) McEwing gave the send sign originally, Tank stopped, someone else said they thought McEwing held him up after initially giving the send sign, I didn't see it though. It was originally a send but pretty quickly held up his arms like right when he hit 3rd base or a splt second before.

Ok PK no DP please.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 06:10 PM) What are the rules with these crew chief reviews? Maybe all scoring plays are reviewed ? Or was it initiated by crew chief ?

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 06:07 PM) Sox about to lose yet another review? Nope cuz you only get 1 per game if you were wrong the 1st time so Robin wasted it.

Replay shows Tank was safe easily . Tag wasn't applied till foot had touched the plate.

That was a very nice long stretch and scoop by Pito.

QUOTE (buckweaver @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 05:26 AM) http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/20/sports/b...amid-chill.html Thanks for pointing that out. It was good.

He has to learn to take more walks. He does expand the zone . Expects way too many fastballs and looks to turn on them and has been outguessed a lot. Likes to extend his arms on the outerhalf of the plate and even outside the zone pitches away and up. Has looked better lately laying off the inside pitches. Have to be strikes to swing at those otherwise you get the weak grounders . Hge adjustment from Cuban league to ML but the guy can rake . He's very professional and mature so he should adjust well.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 08:55 PM) I did enjoy the game immensely (how many blowout wins did we have all of last year? not many the second half at least), but feel I must point out Adam the Great went 0-for-6. Ouch. He's still hitting over .300 though in his contract year. NO .269 now after the 0 for 6.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 03:52 PM) Starting pitching wasn't good, just lucky. The end result was good so therefore it was good. Rather be lucky then good as the saying goes.

Everything pretty good, starting pitching ,hitting, bullpen, fielding. Got a ton of extra base hits. Abreu with 2 doubles ( in one inning) plus the HR. Tank had 3 hits ( double and a HR). Semien 4 hits and 4 RBI (bases loaded triple) battng leadoff. Flowers 3/4 with a walk. Jordan Danks with a 2 run HR.
