Some hard outs, but Q was masterful.

Should I know who Givens is?

Nice to see the defense playing well behind Q. Hopefully 4 scoreless, and then the USA goes on to win.

QUOTE (heirdog @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 05:23 PM) 8 pitch 1-2-3 for Quintana in first. Fastball sat 92-94 Great play by the CF.

Sox win 4-3. Now Q in the WBC.

Moncada up with 2nd and 3rd, one out... Double, 2 ribs...then caught stealing

Moncada has 207 PAs in AA. Wouldn't be wrong to send him to Birmingham.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 9, 2017 -> 09:13 AM) Just don't see May at all. That still seems like rushing him to me and I am not the type to usually whine about a player being rushed. He needs to start making better contact and accrue AB's against better pitching. Whenever the call up date is in September that's when I'd expect him unless he is tearing the cover off the ball in AAA. I agree here. I've heard Levine say he'd be up in May, but that just seems to be a guess like anyone else. He's never played in AAA (even though he got a look with the Red Sox). Let him go to the International League, and be one of the best players in that league at age 22, and then when he has nothing else to prove in that league, then bring him to the Sox. If that's August or September, great.

Burdi looks ready. Not going to be long for him.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Mar 9, 2017 -> 03:49 PM) I think Q has been here longer but he might be the only one Nate Jones drafted in 07. Rookie in 2012.

Nice to see Davidson having a good game.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Mar 9, 2017 -> 11:43 AM) I wonder if the Sox would consider a six man rotation at some point this season to help limit the innings of Rodon and whatever other younger guys end up in the rotation over the course of the year. It also makes it easy to skip guys if they don't like the matchup, which could help the trade value of Gonzalez, Holland, and hopefully even Shields. That, or just playing with the new 10-day DL. There will be a lot more phantom pitching injuries in baseball this year.

It would be pretty great if the Sox get deals done for Quintana and Robertson in the next three weeks. It means they're happy with the return, and that's all we can ask for at this point.

I'm going 13 pitchers to start. OF- Cabrera, Tilson, Garcia, Bourjos IF- Frazier, Anderson, Saladino, Sanchez, Abreu, Davidson C- Narvaez, Soto SP- Quintana, Shields, Holland, Gonzalez, Rodon BP- Covey, Ynoa, Luebke, Petricka, Putnam, Jennings, Jones, Robertson

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 8, 2017 -> 04:27 PM) As long as it doesn't delay the game. I doubt the pitcher is waiting on him to readjust his gloves. He was. I guess it worked though. But seriously, all of the pace of game things, batters should have to stay in the box if they take the pitch before.

Liriano adjusting batting gloves after taking pitches. That has to stop in baseball.

Frazier starting today.

QUOTE (SouthWallace @ Mar 6, 2017 -> 05:23 PM) Damns. Moncada Ks on a pitch inside. Ballgame. Should have pulled the trigger on 3-1.

Delmonico is doing what we wish Davidson could do.

Everth Cabrera is a guy I hope gets cut early. I'm ok with that error.

Tatis up for the Padres

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 6, 2017 -> 03:09 PM) Seriously? Yes, and they probably told the league to do whatever they wanted because they knew the rebuild was happening. Hopefully when it's time to win, they get some favors.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Mar 6, 2017 -> 03:01 PM) I honestly don't think they're going to be anywhere near as bad as most here think (want?) them to be. I think they'll hang around 5 games under .500 until they dismantle sometime in June or July. After the first week, the Sox play 44 of 66 games on the road. They're going to suck...then they'll make some trades...then they'll suck a little more.
