Quintana with a rare decision.

Hawkins, 3-5, hr, 2b 5 rbis. This is getting good.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 09:12 PM) I'd forget about Davidson for a while. Odds are you won't see him until next school year. I thought August 1st. Starting to think it will be sooner. Gillaspie is just...Gillaspie.

I like how Hawk sounds bored with the Sox leading a game. We're into the 6th....

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 09:07 PM) Man, Gillaspie is horrendous against lefties Davidson is hitting .348.

Winston-Salem and Charlotte hitters have struck out 28 times tonight.

Hawkins 2-4, double, assist Anderson 2 hits. Coats 3 hits.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 08:36 PM) Another walk for Q. f*** Tough crowd.

Two more errors for Anderson. That's 5.

Homer for Danks RBI single for Hawkins

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 07:10 PM) Noted. If you haven't noticed by now, I'm not a typist. Next time he spells Conor Gillaspie's name Connor, call him on it.

QUOTE (staxx @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 07:21 PM) It's 7 games into the season, Eaton and Abreu were going to have an adjustment period. Abreu has never played in this country, Eaton has not played an entire season. Enjoy watching them grow. Blah, what fun is that? Small samples be damned...play good baseball. This is the big leagues. (but, yeah I know)

Another triple for Anderson.

2 innings for Throne to finish off the 3-2 win.

Hopefully Eaton heats up. I really don't want to start thinking he's a 9-hole hitter.

Walk and single start the 6th for Mitchell.

Mitchell no hitter thru 5. 6 k's

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20140408 Kannapolis playing game 1 of a dh. Andrew Mitchell 4 shutout innings so far. 3 bb, 4 k.

If they had to call somebody up today, Rienzo would get the call. Maybe a month from now, Axelrod. But it depends on what's going on in the bullpen.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 09:52 AM) It's not even long enough to win. It's long enough to keep the rest of the bullpen fresh for when you need them to get outs. I'm no fan of Paulino, but you are right, Axe is be careful what you wish for. He was nothing but BP last year after a pretty decent start. If my choice is Axe or Paulino, I pick Paulino each time, although I do think there was a bit too much excitement about a guy who was really good for 7 starts 2 years ago and has since undergone elbow surgery and a procedure with the shoulder, although that appears to have been a cyst or something. Well yeah, that's the obvious first reason why they need a long reliever. Those guys are good for the games you know you'll probably lose, but the rest of the guys they're counting on, are there the next day when you have a better chance to win. But on occasion, those guys come in in the 4th inning and go 4-5 innings while the offense chips away, and you come away with a W.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 09:33 AM) I would rather watch Axelrod than Paulinos 20 pitch an inning performances. I think the Sox have to commit to Paulino for about 8 starts. If it's mostly garbage, then yeah, pull the plug and try somebody else. Axelrod is a "be careful what you wish for" guy, but the Sox desperately need a long reliever in the pen. Whether that's Axelrod, Surkamp, Purcey, Leesman, or Putnam...they need somebody to take one for the team, or occasionally keep the team in a game long enough to win it.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 06:56 AM) What are the terms of Paulino's contract? 14:$1.5M, 15:$4M club option ($0.25M buyout)

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 10:22 PM) We'll. first blowout of year. Sucks. Damn baseball.

This game is missing one thing...Mitchell Boggs...pitching for the Rockies.

So, Jordan Lyles can hit.
