QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 04:40 PM) We don't have a closer folks. Few do.

Bucknor is a joke of an umpire.

Good job, Marcus! I have no idea if this is one bad team beating another bad team, but it's fun.

Robin and Coop praying this doesn't go 15 innings.

The Charlotte Shuttle is going to be busy this year.

...and no decision

Oh, Ball 1. Shocker.

Who had Flowers in the 4-hit pool?

Nice play. He's going to hit the DL a lot in his career. But nice play.

3 ball counts to like, everyone.

I wonder if Jones was the closer until pretty late in spring training, and they pulled the plug on it? He looked shaky there too.

I like that the Sox are playing tough teams after today. We'll have a decent gauge in the next 3-4 weeks.

Q might get that win now, which is nice.

Woo woo! Man if this team doesn't play stupid, who knows. Shock the world!

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 03:22 PM) He is 3 for 3 in the boxscore, but 1 for 3 in the "good AB" department. He got 2 lucky shank singles. You can't get hits without putting the bat on the ball. They all count. If Flowers could be Ron Karkovice from 92-93, I'd be very happy with that.

Flowers is hitting .444. Maybe we let this season breathe a little, huh?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 03:14 PM) Or the win.... Even better. Just thinking about last year...I gotta stop doing that. We all do.

Ok, let's get Q that no decision.

Think Hahn has sent any texts to other GM's about De Aza this week? "You could have had him" Smily face hashtag suckit.

Fundamentals suck. That rundown was little league s***.

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 01:32 PM) But they would need at least 17 PA announcers. Can the fans cover that? I was being generous.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 01:24 PM) That is why I love Eaton. No Gene Honda today. Each fan in the stands should take a turn every half inning.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 12:44 PM) Why are they moving Semien around already? I can understand with L.Garcia, he's not an integral piece of the long-term plan at this point, but I don't know why they're seemingly content with turning Semien into a utility guy. Just increasing his versatility before Beckham returns? Still don't get that, because he should be in Charlotte playing everyday at either SS or 2B, one or the other. Probably 2B, with Carlos Sanchez at SS. Because Semien is a better 3B than Leury, and Gillaspie is sick.

Tigers/Royals postponed. I hope the Royals skip Y Ventura. edit: Yost is sticking with Guthrie, Chen, and Shields

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 10:53 AM) The radar seems to indicate the rain should be gone by gametime. Maybe a slight delay to get the field ready. I agree. Looks when they start, there won't be a delay. The 75 people there should be commended.
