Trayce went yard.

Another walk for Hawkins. Take the respect, young man.

Nice! Alejandro!

You can get credited with a sac bunt with one out?

Dunn OBP around .400. Having a good season. His last game with the Sox willl be 5 months from today (maybe).

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:31 PM) He is better than Axe. But long term he is a reliever. That remains to be seen. I hope this is Rienzo's last start with the Sox.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:30 PM) Call Hanson up send Reinzo packing. If they can get five innings from Hanson next time around, why not? Unless he says he's not ready--which I would doubt.

Rienzo is no good. No different than Axelrod.

Bossard is confident they'll get the game in. Score early and often.

Robin is hinting at Noesi starting on Wednesday if they don't need him before then.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 02:06 PM) I don't think that being in contention will make the Sox buyers, but it may make them non-sellers. I agree. The bullpen might be a revolving door all year, but the Sox won't "go for it" by trading a Davidson or Micah Johnson, or something along those lines. The Tigers are going to win 90+, and I don't see the Sox getting there. But there is a lot of parity in the league, and it's not out of the question that the second wildcard gets in with 87 or 88 wins. You don't mortgage the future for a one-game playoff, but if the Sox get healthy and the bullpen in order, they have a decent shot of hanging in there.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 02:34 PM) When can we plan on hearing if this game is going to happen by? They'll try all night since teams out of the division only come to town once a year. Very little chance they'll call it before people start driving to the game.

https://twitter.com/ckamka/status/460834328453586944 I was at that game.

Dunn picked up the check for Carroll's family and friend's dinner celebration last night. Cool move.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 11:49 AM) THIS IS SO MINIMALIST I'm a minimalist.

7:10, CSN Go Sox.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 10:59 AM) Just by looking at the numbers, who else even comes close to Abreu now? Just Pujols and Colabello, and Abreu has better numbers. I'd vote for Abreu now, but I'm a Sox fan. WAR isn't my thing, but Abreu is 10th right now for just offense. I'll look on June 1st.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 10:50 AM) It's early, but right now, Jose Abreu is AL MVP. No doubt. Early for that, but if Abreu ends up 50/150, probably have to screw Trout for the third year in a row.

Just for accuracy sake, Pujols had 101 PA's then. Abreu has 115 PA's now, with three games left. It would probably be a better stat if it was most Total Bases in a player's first 100 plate appearances, or something like that.

Can we start talking about how we do or do not want him to participate in the Home Run Contest? BTW, Target Field is a crappy venue for that stupid contest.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 08:57 AM) What are the odds tonight's game is cancelled? At least 50/50? Zero. It may get postponed, but it won't get canceled. May 29th would be the make up.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 08:43 AM) Axe not yet scratched from tonight's game for Charlotte. Could Hanson be ready for Weds.? I really don't think Hanson is stretched out yet. He probably needs one or two more starts in AAA. Plus the 40-man is full. I'd put money on Putnam starting Wednesday right now, and see if they can get 3-4 innings out of him.

Axelrod is scheduled to start for Charlotte tomorrow, so if he doesn't then we know what's up. With 8 in the pen right now, they could probably get by with Putnam starting and hope for the best.
