only real positive is some of the offense today. f*** this s*** man. it's early but what a s***ty way to start the year two games where in the end it wasn't close.

pretty good pitch to hit there.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 10:17 PM) Is flowers this bad at calling a game or are our pitchers just unable to locate a stinking first pitch fastball Good f***ing question considering it's been a staple of cooper era teams. At this point I'm all f***ing for calling up Rodon in a month, put Noesi in the pen (cause Danks won't benefit from it at all) and go from there.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 10:16 PM) Why not? It's a game winning home run? Good job, Putnam. Disgraceful. That uppercut by Cain was hilarious. He just teed off. Yea that was a HR derby swing. Talk about looking for it over the plate and absolutely getting a cookie. Jesus the Sox BP can throw some meatballs.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 10:15 PM) Just remember....we won the offseason. come on this stinks but 2 games

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 10:15 PM) When we walk them off at the Cell. One of our guys should walk on their hands from 1st to 2nd, run backwards to 3rd, and then do a belly flop on home plate after the team dusts off the plate. Then do the presser right there. ur avatar is the best thing I'm watching.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 10:12 PM) Hanger. And Cain clowns his way into the dugout. why not he clowned the sox today.

This stinks.

man how nice would it be to have a manager that talked to and would consider using the closer in this situation. I have no doubt Joe Maddon would. Not many would but Robin never. Doesn't get much higher leverage than on the road tied in the 8th against a division opponent. That said, the pitchers have to pitch at some point. Throw strikes.

nice play melky.

Hawk very excited over that 2-0 strike. Hey, I was too.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 10:05 PM) What's the mood of this thread. Tie games late on the road normally equal heartbreak. Yes, I'm hoping for the reverse jinx here. p.s. Eaton was out by a mile stealing. Is he even considered a basestealing threat? on the road in KC??? wtf do you think the mood is lol

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 10:04 PM) Too bad this kid got hurt last year. Think how much better he would be with 500 more PA under his belt. Yea it sucks but you know maybe it was for the best it convinced him to finally get in excellent not just "ok" shape. He looks great. Keep it up kid. Avi is an easy guy to root for and as Hahn always says sometimes progress isn't linear. His fielding will never be much more than adequate but if you hit 300/350/500 in today's game and run the bases that's 3-4 WAR.

Avi is a stud if he keeps pulling line shots. He could hit 300 easily.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 10:02 PM) Robin makes Abreu strike out. Yea I will critique Robin for things he controls like leaving in Duke to face Perez. He has nothing to do with the strikeouts that's the roster and today's game.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 10:01 PM) Wade Davis magically became an amazing power pitcher out of nowhere. Hmmmm. Eh moved to the pen last year...

what a f***ing take. That is why you are Jose Abreu.

97mph on the black. Yea, I kinda can see how scoring is down. Jesus, every guy the Royals throw out there is a f***ing stud.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 09:56 PM) Check that wind. That might be why Gordon missed that ball. WGN showed the flags it's certainly a steady wind. Thank god Avi made that play. Honestly I think last year with the extra weight he might have over ran it.

There is no universe where Duke should be in right now against Perez.

This will not end well.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 09:52 PM) Seriously. If this is the strike zone, bring in the computers. That will fix the offensive issue. Yep the strike zone is all over the place and I'm about ready for robots.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 09:50 PM) Didn't seem like Eaton thought that was a straight steal. Wow, even worse than a stupid steal would be a missed sign. Between this and the delayed steal the Sox are not covering themselves in glory.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 09:44 PM) Depends on how much he walks. .280/.310/.320 is not gonna get you 3 WAR unless you're one of the best defenders in baseball. I think he'll slap a few more xbh than a .040 ISO 280/330/380 is not out of the realm of possibility this year if he gets the PA. Trying to hold my tongue on the Micah PR.

There's a non zero chance Sanchez turns into a pretty damn good player IMO. If he can slap singles to a 280 average with that glove he's going to be a 3 WAR player.
