Have to lay one down.

QUOTE (BaconOnAStick @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 04:10 PM) We have DeAza Ramirez and then the black hole in the 9th Two of those three probably dont hit against Perkins.

Who's coming out for the ninth, Belly?

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 03:53 PM) How is it we couldn't find a catcher better than Tyler Flowers? I mean, really? Hahn tried, he threw a bunch of money at McCann, they Yankees just threw more.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 03:08 PM) He has been shopping for the replacement catcher for months now, at least. Two games isn't going to stop that process. San Diego and Houston are the best options, though I am not sure the Sox have much that would match up with their needs without affecting the rebuilding process.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 03:04 PM) That was not a strike Garcia did not think so anyway.

QUOTE (DashFan @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 03:02 PM) Can Dunn still be called a DH if he doesn't H? DD?

Cleto bailed out RV for sending Paulino out there for a batter too many.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 02:59 PM) Paulino in line for win if the pen holds up. Offense needs to get them another run. Four runs is a magic number.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 02:48 PM) If that's really the case, then he could have just went Sale, Quintana, Johnson/Paulino, Danks, Johnson/Paulino. Surprised to see Paulino back out there starting the inning with 98 pitches when his control hasn't been sharp all game.

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 02:41 PM) Had to go to a meeting...after the inning where Paulino was walking everyone, how has he looked? Hasn't walked another guy, seems to be having trouble locating his breaking ball, up to 6 K's.

Paulinos best inning today.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 02:39 PM) Two automatic outs at the end of the lineup today. Is what it is, if solid catchers grew on trees we'd have one by now. Not really sure why Conor got the day off, rather see him and Semian than Garcia and Semian. Someone mentioned that Conor is ill.

QUOTE (La Marr Hoyt HOF @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 02:35 PM) Rick really needs to do something quick .... Can't go thru a full season of that Because why? No reason to overpay for something or make knee jerk reaction. Flowers is here because they like the way he works with the pitchers, they need to find another option but its not like there are a ton of quality C's available.

Great AB.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 02:21 PM) Wasn't Garcia supposed to be a + defender? This may be the coldest that Leury has ever been in his life.

QUOTE (BaconOnAStick @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 02:21 PM) Him or Leury, they'll play the next 15 or so games for that spot. I still think Semien can be a capable hitter. I think Leury stays up to be the UTL until Kep is back, not sure he has much more of a ceiling than a UTL guy anyway.

QUOTE (BaconOnAStick @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 02:13 PM) Beckham can also play defense too, that's the only time I've missed him, Semien will get more ABs I think Semien goes down when Beckhams back so that he can have every day AB's.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 02:01 PM) Paulino reminds me of Edwin - about 100 pitches thru 3 innings, several K's, a few runs. "Effectively wild"

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 02:01 PM) Paulino's breaking stuff just looks like garbage so far. As fathom said, hopefully that'll improve as time goes on here. Its possible hes not getting a real good grip to throw his stuff given the weather.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 01:42 PM) Paulino recovered nicely. Now let's score two right away You should have asked for more.

DC - Quit d*ckin around and throw f*ing strikes FP - Ok

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 01:32 PM) Boy I can't wait to see Kurt Suzuki vs teh Sox 17 more times this year... said no Sox fan ever. I was hoping Hahn was going to grab him as a FA.

Paulino seemed to struggle focusing on Suzuki in that AB with Arcia at 1B.

QUOTE (oneofthemikes @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 01:03 PM) DCProSports.com has a few new mocks posted. One has us taking Beede, one Jackson, one Aiken, and one has us taking Nick Gordon. That site doesn't seem real legit. When I go there it takes me to a GoDaddy page that says I can buy the domain.
