Davidson 3-run homer! Have a day!

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 11:57 AM) nah, the factor is/was the coach should have started the pen. regardless. His pitch count was very low. You can only protect him so much.

Lakso said Black's error should have been a double play. Not excusing Johnson for a bad inning, but it's a factor.

Yeah, he completely lost it in the 6th.

Looks like he hit the wall. Hessman doubled, 2 more runs.

Johnson started the 6th by walking a guy on 4 pitches. The next guy reached on an error by Black. Let's see if he can pitch out of a jam. ...ugh, another walk. Bases loaded, nobody out. single, a run scored.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 11:32 AM) They could also send Rodon down for a period of time until this mess clears up. His option is already used for this year so it doesn't matter. Rodon wasn't optioned at the end of spring training because he's never been on the 40-man before 9 days ago. Not that there's much risk of him being optioned out the next three years.

Johnson struck out two in the 5th. 56 pitches, 40 strikes

2nd double for Davidson. Nice.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 10:58 AM) don't get me wrong, but with the big break, this will look as a second start of the season. also, they have Scott Carrol up and to take a spot. the sox will have a pen fully rested.... that is how i am seeing this. We'll see what happens, but if EJ has his confidence back, I think they should strike while the iron is hot.

2-run double for Davidson

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 10:44 AM) i think it may be too early to bring EJ up, but i would let him continue to build up his confidence. then in july, if needed, and he is still doing well. bring up for a little test run. With the need for a 6th starter next week (assuming Sale and Shark drop their suspensions), a lack of off days, and two doubleheaders (the second the day after the all star break), the Sox are almost in a position where they need 6 starters. Maybe not a straight 6-man rotation, but between next Tuesday and July 17, I would mind if they use Johnson in there. Maybe he knocks Noesi out of the rotation.

4 k's for Johnson, thru 3. Throwing strikes again. This is really encouraging.

Do the Sox know they're allowed to release Jared Mitchell?

Scoreless first innings for Johnson and Fry.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 07:42 AM) All of this happened prior to the new HIPPA regulations. (although you probably are correct) For future reference, it's HIPAA.

Morosi is a douche, but that's pretty funny. https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/593413599856631809

If Johnson has a good start today, maybe they let him face the Tigers next Tuesday.

Anderson went 2-4, got caught stealing and was ejected by the 2nd base umpire.
