Nice to see other teams making stupid ass mistakes.

Yoan Moncada is ridiculous

There are so many bad fucking teams in the AL and Central that with perfect health and Moncada putting up 8 WAR it could happen, given health from the SP. I'd put Nova into that as well given that he actually looked to have a lively arm in his first start and might be a cromulent 4th starter. That said, my prediction hasn't changed. 75 wins, pitching and defense is just too bad. But 75 wins with growth from the kid position players both here and in MiLB would be a solid year.

People on twitter saying that this was one of the best atmospheres in recent memory at the park, opener or otherwise. Any Sox Talkers at the game today to confirm?

that could very well be the case.

Yea I agree it would be nice if someone had a talk with Abreu about it.

So far some really good at bats from him. He's the 1st legit DH they've had since Dunn was decent. He smoked a ball off Kikuchi as well that was unluckily right at Smith in CF.

They are reeling me back in! Fun game, had its ups and downs and finished on a high note. Yoan! TA! Bullpen locking it down late!

rough day for beef.

TA!

Moncada looks really smooth at 3B. Maybe the Sox actually did something right.

2-4 with 2 doubles and his OPS has barely gone up. Dude is En Fuego.

Jesus Christ yolmer. Thank god it worked.

I apologize to Ventura I said he's the worst manager the Sox every employed for more than a year. RICKY RENTERIA TAKES THE FUCKING CAKE!

This manager sucks balls.

God damnit Palka.

least he got the runners over.

YES YES YES YES YOAN!

Well it was fun for a minute.

92mph. FFS.

What a disaster for Lopez.

This has turned into a snoozer.

he looks like he always does imo. has very little control, little if any command, and his fastball is a straight 95. Not sure if he's capable of much more this is who he is.

4 fucking walks now.

Gotta really wonder about some of the scouting staff that recommended Lopez and Giolito, too guys with MAJOR mental issues apparently. Gotta do a better job trying to avoid guys like this in the future. I think now that in hindsight all the talk about Lopez as a reliever was mostly due to his mental lapses and sustaining himself over 6-7 innings mentally.
