The most important thing for Moncada is to just play. Way too early to move him down in the order.

And it only took 4 hours in s*** weather. Perfect.

Oh, still going, huh? Cmon Yoan.

How about this idea...fewer bullpen pitchers and more tandem starts. If a starter is only going 5, have somebody behind him that can go 2-3 innings.

Well this game went to hell...off to the minor league scoreboard...

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 06:40 PM) Giolito has had some awful luck to start this year. Second game he's gonna pitch tomorrow and will be cold as hell. The game is Saturday, and I’m not so sure it won’t be Monday vs TB

f***ing juiced ball.

I thought that was a bloop single off the bat. DP please...

Tito Polo needs to be our eventual 4th outfielder. Such a cool name.

Rahimi>Santos, in every way

We’re kinda like the 2014 Cubs now. Some pieces will be here, but two years from now, juggernaut.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 08:37 AM) Is that the actual reason? I imagine it had to do with scheduling and lining him up with somebody but wasn't sure Kopech is going 5th. If they bring up a starter for KC, I’d bet on Volstad. 40-man is at 39 now.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 12:05 PM) Kopech was supposedly starting today. Is he hurt? No. He said he threw live batting practice to his teammates a couple days ago. He’s just further back on the schedule.

Looks like the snow will stay south of the park. Just going to be cold. Wonder if they’ll opt to not play Saturday and Sunday and just play doubleheaders in June and September.

Thomas and McIlroy, but Alex Noren is my pick to win...why not.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 08:03 AM) Kinda weird to me Covey is starting Gotta get Kopech on pace for the doubleheader on the 28th, ha.

Just watched another forecast saying snow falling around 4-5pm, with a possible inch accumulation. If that happened, they’d probably be better off waiting until Friday at 1, even though it will be colder. At least it’ll be dry. Twins start a 10 game homestand, and they’re screwed. I could see the Mariners having to come back on off days. Then the Astros on Mon-Wed. Sox will be there next Thurs-Sun. Should be 50 by Saturday. Woo.

Ohtani hr off Kluber He lost the leg kick, and now he’s timing pitches better.

If AJ is ever going to take 40 flights and spend 100 nights a year in hotels for the Sox, he’ll be the manager.

Kopech interview during the game. It would be funny if they talk to him while Fulmer is getting torched, but let’s hope that doesn’t happen.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 04:18 PM) I get where you're coming from and I understand that you're hypersensitive to heat. But I really don't see any team closing their retractable roof if it's 90 and sunny. Depends on the dew point. Above 70, give me air con.

A little surprised Narvaez isn’t starting. Just figured the bench would each get a start in Toronto.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 03:08 PM) https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/981624114887692288 Sox plan to play tomorrow... lol If the forecast Friday was any good, they’d change it now. Unfortunately, they’re stuck with Thursday. It will suck, but they’ll play.

I don’t want to be a 100 percent against him either. He actually has made me laugh, but he misses way more than he hits. He has great pipes for broadcasting without being a cartoon character. He’s very smart. He just needs to dial it back. Let the game breathe instead of wall-to-wall talking.

I just think- less is more. He talks too much...they talk too much. Call the game, make some good baseball points, make jokes when they’re actually funny, and stay out of my way of actually just watching and enjoying the game. He’s a mosquito buzzing around my ear for 3 hours.
