Let him finish. f*** it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 03:25 PM) Man I love Chris Sale.

If Lindstrom comes in a 1-0 game, I won't watch.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 03:12 PM) ??? 5/14 on season, 6 K's. Today is the 6th.

Oh--there's that walk to Perez. Day late.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 03:03 PM) Hawkins with a double and RBI. Wrong day, homie.

Unfortunately, I think we're going to need the bullpen to get 5 or 6 outs.

Old news now, but I'm glad the ump didn't toss Sale. Some would have.

Sox are going to have some fights this year. Well, maybe not fights, but baseball fights.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 02:33 PM) No fair. The Royals manager is awake.

David Purcey 6 up 6 down. Threw strikes.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 02:25 PM) On the bright side, Sale is looking very sharp. Yeah, I'd say he's a pretty good pitcher.

Sac fly for Anderson RBI double for Hawkins.

Get. The. Run. In.

Axelrod- 5 ip, 6 h, 1 er, 0 bb, 7 k

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 01:56 PM) you can cancel the postgame show Send Melton home now.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 01:51 PM) No matter what happens, think they will give Flowers at least two months before throwing in the towel. We've seen this show before. With both of them. Phegley's not a big leaguer. Just pointing out what's going on.

Axelrod off to a good start. I think they said in spring he changed his mechanics a little bit. I know he's a whipping boy around here, but the Sox need a long reliever in the pen. If he puts up 3-4 good starts, and the pen still sucks, I wouldn't mind him coming back in May. --- Barnum RBI single Davidson 2 RBI doubles Phegley is swinging a hot bat.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 12:25 PM) I'll gladly take 3-3 after the first week. Yep. But more than anything, I want to see fundamentals by the players in the field, and pitchers throwing strikes. For today, let's see a Sale shutout and an Abreu bomb, and call it a day.

Barons rained out

Today's the day--Abreu is going deep.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 11:14 AM) Didn't he play the end of the season at Birmingham as an 18 year old in his first season? I don't think it's unrealistic that he thought he had a chance to get back there. I think it's unrealistic. But I'm not a teenager. No in 2012 he was in Kannapolis, and they moved him to W-S for their playoffs, and he was very good. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out to be a good assignment last year.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 11:07 AM) Laughable he's "eyeing" AA after three games, he was completely overmatched by High A all last season. I would be fine with him staying in Winston-Salem for the majority of the season. If he's tearing it up and they want to give him a taste of Birmingham for the playoffs or something, that's a different story. He doesn't deserve/need a promotion until then. That article was from January. He was talking about last year. I would hope they've managed his expectations at this point. It should be a year-by-year thing at this point. Hell, he's 20. If they can make his first opening day with the Sox in 2017 at age 23, what would be wrong with that? I would be ecstatic if they turn him around, and he ends up being an impact major league player.
