QUOTE (Mike F. @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 08:55 PM) I'm feeling like Flowers will hit a homer now. I think he's gonna K.

Our guys should be taking until they get a strike. Every single one except Jose.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 08:45 PM) What did he do, I missed it. It was Yordana, Laroche faked a bunt and Ventura ran off the mound like there was a $100 bill blowing up the 3rd base line. By the time LaRoch pulled the bunt back Ventura was halfway to 3rd.

Watching the Sox so far this season, outside of maybe 4 innings, has been a completely un fan f***ing friendly experience.

man that fastball is in his wheelhouse. send that one into the seats Adam.

haha f*** you Ventura. DUmbass.

alright, how about a baserunner...

Jose bailed out Micah there imo. Nice pick and stretch not a great throw.

wow. Talk about confidence in your abilities. Chris Sale man!

awful changeup fouled away thank god.

well this sucks.

it's f***ing uncanny man.

eaton just got aced.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 07:21 PM) Didn't catch what happened that inning. Was Sale bad? Wasn't great. Wild. Ump screwed him and so did some bad BABIP luck.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 07:19 PM) Kendry f***ing Morales, are you s***ting me. Off the end of the bat softly hit right in front of Eaton. Pretty s***ty inning couple of soft hit singles, one good hit, some s***ty umping, and some wildness from Christ leads to 2 runs. The ump really screwed him with that 2-0 call.

so many loopers this team f***ing hits man.

How the f*** do you miss that 2-0 pitch. I mean seriously it was right down the middle belt high.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 07:10 PM) I don't know why they ever switched it. A few years ago it was perfect Once Adobe got a hold of it it went back to s***. Flash f***ing sucks I can't wait until HTML5 is the standard.

The Royals have a team BABIP of like .500 right?

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 08:05 PM) Hopefully mlb.tv won't be too far behind live play today, I think that is wishful thinking though. MLB.tv has been really awful for me this year. Lots of stuttering and this is on different networks as well. Hope it gets better. It's really infiruorating that I can't hard set teh quality. It always tries to go full HD when I don't have the bandwidth and then I get the spinning wheel and it has to rebuffer. If I could just set "med high" like a few years ago it would be perfect in those situations.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 07:27 PM) I honestly cannot even imagine trying to hit off Chris Sale in 40 degree weather. I mean, you're talking jam shot stingers that last the entire game. I have a feeling he's going to have even more of an advantage tonight. LOL. They should just make the guys do that thing where you spin around with your head on the bat for a minute then try and run to first. It might be easier than hitting Chris today.

It's crazy how poorly compensated the minor league guys are relative to their position in their chosen field of pro baseball. It really takes a love of the game and a helluva competitive nature to keep doing baseball as a job into your mid 20s when your shot at the majors is slim to none. Hell, your shot at anything other than the Independent League is probably slim to none. My cousin played a couple years in the Independent League after a sparkling HS and Juco career but he's a DNR ranger now ffs. The grind got him quick and so did the s*** pay. The groupies aren't that good either apparently. Thanks for the article was a good read.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 04:38 PM) Jose has become probably THE leader of the team. Which is very good. I agree. I think it's good when your best players are also the leaders.
