Petricka will do his rehab for Charlotte. Penny and Lindstrom hit the DL today.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 03:30 PM) Lack of talent has also been a definition. As for the defense, we all knew this wasn't going to be a particularly good defensive team. I don't know why it's Robin's fault Micah is shaky at 2b, Gillaspie is bad at 3b, Abreu isn't a GGer, Avi still takes bad routes, and the catchers aren't stellar. So in other words, the Sox are short on talent and it was a waste of time trading for Samardzija, and signing Cabrera and Robertson. Great.

I can't see anything happen to Robin during the season, but if they end up under .500 with a healthy team, Hahn needs to hire his own manager. Plenty of time to get this season on track, but they need to play smarter.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 02:14 PM) RV needs to send a message and bench Eaton and Cabrera on Friday. They're not cutting it. Relax

The top of the lineup needs to come around, and they will. But until then, they need to minimize the stupidity to win some close games.

That 2-1 pitch should have been crushed. Oh well, bad defense, don't take advantage of scoring opps, that's a loss.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 02:05 PM) I doubt he had the bunt on. I bet Eaton did that on his own. After he squared the first time with two strikes, they could have made it clear...try to get a hit!

That was moronic baseball

Mehowchesskey off to a bad start. 3rd error today.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 01:36 PM) yes If Rodon is what we all hope he is he'll sign like Sale did Yeah, right.

17 straight games starting Friday...they'll go 6-man two times around the rotation then drop Danks or Noesi.

Rodon is starting next Wednesday. Calling it now.

Something about the combo of Micah's stance and how far he's off the plate that doesn't look like he's in a good position to hit.

Danks-- officially on the wrong side of 30.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 11:54 AM) Early returns in 2015 show a BAD defensive team........... Bad defense and running themselves out of big innings= no playoffs.

Surprised they're going to Detroit after the game. They could fly home in an hour and be in their own places for over 24 hours.. Strip clubs tonight I guess.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 11:48 AM) Is that common in the minor leagues? Yes, they play those early games for schools

QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 11:31 AM) Congrats to James Dykstra on the no-no! Cool. His brother got his first Major League hit a couple days ago too.

Dykstra 3 outs from a 7-inning no-hitter. One walk, and he was picked off.

Carrasco is ok. He's starting Monday against the Sox.

https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/588348320302567425 I assume he means minor league games.

Fri- Samardzija vs Price Sat- Sale vs Sanchez Sun TBA vs Greene

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 08:49 AM) this is an interesting move. Not....really.

Shuck and Soto play. Avi and Flowers sit. https://twitter.com/ChiTribKane/status/588335525028765696

30th birthday for Danks. Might as well throw 7 shutout innings.
