Looking like he could get the start next Sunday vs the Reds. I wouldn't mind if they sent him back to Charlotte to start, but he needs to start somewhere. At this point, it's looking like the Sox won't be contending. So if he gets the on-the-job training with his changeup, maybe 25-27 starts in the big leagues will help him for 2016.

So we have illness and the Baltimore riots on the excuse list. What else?

Flowers is sick too.

Eaton still out. Laroche at 1B. https://twitter.com/ChiTribKane/status/594885720340201472

QUOTE (LDF @ May 3, 2015 -> 10:08 AM) with all due respects, do you really think so?? Yes. I think Robin needs to be on notice. Whether that's happening, who the hell knows.

At the very least, a serious conversation has to happen tomorrow...if it hasn't happened already. If they're worse than 23-26 at the end of May, he gone.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20150503 Sanchez facing a lefty. Going for 10 hits in a row.

Danks career at Target Field: 8 starts, 47.2 innings 2-5, 7.74 ERA Start getting excited about the trade deadline, I guess.

The Astros are 17-7. Hinch making the most of his second job so far.

Sanchez, batting righty, HOMERS! Both sides! 4-4, 2 homers, double, walk!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:13 PM) Gardenhire seems to be the flavor of the month since fathom started saying it. What ever happened to Dave Martinez ? Everybody was hot for him at one time when he was Maddons bench coach. He's still Maddon's bench coach. Gardenhire would be exactly what you want in an interim manager. He gets back into managing, and if the fit works, you give him a 2-year contract.

Hawkins 2-3, .247. Respectable for his first month in AA, and how he started.

Jaye implosion in the 5th.

Sanchez walk with men on 2nd and 3rd.

Jaye off to another good start. 3 IP, 3 k.

Sanchez 3-3 Needs a triple for a cycle the day after 5-5.

Sanchez double. Man.

Sanchez homer. Kid is on fire.

QUOTE (Butter Parque @ May 2, 2015 -> 05:12 PM) Entire Coaching staff needs to go. That includes Coop. Buddy Bell also needs to go. Entire minor league staff needs to go. You cant go over a decade without developing a position player and expect to keep your job. This is like clown college. And then you look up...and there's Kenny and Jerry sitting there, watching the 05 DVDs.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 2, 2015 -> 05:00 PM) Reboot. Dump him and Boyer as well. The Shark Cage is going to be hoppin! LAME

Rongey doesn't get it.

And the last 5 weeks of the season are just like the first 5 weeks of the season....8 series in the division. So even if they play good ball through August, what do you expect the Sox to do the last 32 games? They better be 72-58 by then just to have a shot to go 88-74. And they'd still have to go 16-16, which seems impossible against these teams.

QUOTE (Lillian @ May 2, 2015 -> 04:38 PM) They are now 8 and 13. To make the Wild Card, it will probably take around 88 wins. They need to go 80 and 61, the rest of the way. How many of you think that they're capable of accomplishing that? They would need get hot-- immediately. As in, win tomorrow, take 2 out of 3 from Detroit, then sweep Cincy. If they play the first 28 at 11-17, that's a hole I don't seem them coming back from.

When's the last time a Sox team played 7 games without a homer?
