QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 08:52 PM) I'm not sold on Kopech as a starter. Don't think his change will end up being viable. I do think Kopech will be a hell of a closer. I'm higher on Moncada as a hitter than I am on Kopech as a pitcher. Moncada will probably k 150 times in a season, but I expect him to be Cano with speed eventually. He has too good of an eye for the Zone to not hit eventually. If Kopech does not become a starter, I would consider that a huge fail when trading one of the games finest 5 pitchers.

I think the Sox can get some more runs....not sure we can stop them from scoring.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 08:37 PM) Yep they were fun but Royals are beyond awful Detroit may be just as bad. I don't think you could combine Detroit and KC and even be .500....

Gonzalez is terrible. Can't believe the Sox got him back.

....Gonzalez will be replaced in rotation by June, if not sooner.

Looked to me on the replay like Yoan had his eyes up and not down on the ball. JA Happ on a pace for 22 strike outs tonight. Geezus.

Avilan played his part by putting the tie run on first base...game went down hill from there. All told plenty of blame to go around...one guy decided to hit tonight, two guys were MIA in the pen....it was basically the starting battery versus Toronto and they won. Chin up and get back at it tomorrow.

Avilan walk to Grandy was big. CAN"T give free passes.

Geezus

LMAO Beef

Masterful job by Rey Lo....now can they scrape up a run here? Donaldson is a jagbag.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 08:51 PM) uh what was that The end of the inning.

Lopez gets another inning. Bottom of order. Still around 70 pitch count.

Would like to find another run or two here shortly.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 07:21 PM) And, of equal importance, seems.to be hitting most of his spots. So far BJ hitters seem a bit overmatched. WOW. Finishes that inning off with a filthy slider. Good googley moogley this kid can bring it. Like most of our kids it's all about the command.

Lopez looking sharp early. Bringing gas just below 100.

LOL did you see what the Phillies did? They made a pitching change even though they had no one in the bullpen warming up. LMAO....it was a clusterF and the Braves manager got tossed. I love when baseball gets stupid. Nice going Phillies

QUOTE (wrathofhahn @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 10:21 PM) Problem with Davidson is he always has had difficulty making contact even in the minors his K rate was extremely high. So a change in approach is needed. He claims to made changes to his approach in the offseason. The very, very, early results are promising we will see if it holds. 8.3 OSWING. If he can keep it in 20 range compared to the 31 percent in his career he'll be in good shape. I like his approach through 2 games. Hasn't swung at junk and the one K they got on him tonight was a bad call by blue. Small sample size, but encouraging.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 11:09 PM) So far Avi looks to have picked up right where he left off and if that’s going to be the case, I’d want to extend him rather than trade him... unless we’re “bowled over” as KW calls it. I really don't want to move Avi. Dude is 26 and is legitimately one of the best hitters in professional baseball. You don't want EVERY player to be rookies...having a leader like Avi when that window really opens will be worth more than some prospects. You figure the Sox will be LEGIT in 2 years, Avi is 28, in the prime of his career. Unless someone gives us a ridiculous overpay he should stay in Chicago and we build around HIM and the kids.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 10:32 PM) Soria should not be the closer nor the setup man, just lucky he faced a number of below replacement level hitters. Yep. Kansas City has the makings of a solid 60 win team this year

Sox get the W....YES

Nate is dealing.

Now just gotta lock down 6 more outs. Looks like it's gonna be Nate then Soria ....

QUOTE (Scoots @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 09:39 PM) Would be really nice if Castillo totally redeemed himself here From your mouth to Gods ears.

LMAO...3-0 green light for Castillo
