After last year, they should be taking infield practice almost everyday.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 5, 2014 -> 01:39 PM) So we have both the tiniest CF, tiniest catcher and tiniest 3B coach? Does Eddie Gaedel have any family members surviving? And Leury's not exactly Captain America/Puig, either. He's 6'3", but yes he does. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=gaedel001kyl

Two months from tonight. Big arm.

Beckham is in the Dunn and Konerko category. Just assume they're part of the team the rest of the season, and then they'll be gone. The roster starting in 2015 is what it's going to be about for the next postseason team.

Hawkins adds a single. Hello!

Gausman walked Jared Mitchell twice. Last good chance for Mitchell this year...hope he keeps it going.

Good first start for Danish. 5 IP, 4 h, 2 unearned runs, 2 BB, 6 K

Danish- 4 inn--5 ground outs, 4 K's

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 06:55 PM) Tanaka first batter see ya HR. Saw that. Good stuff. Struck out Bautista and Encarnacion. He'll be good.

Last year, this game would have been over 30 minutes ago. They'd be heading to dinner without feeling bad about it. So we got that going for us...

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 06:35 PM) "I don't care who it is, I still hate to see that play." Hawk acknowledging his love for Gordon, prefacing that he can even hate things that Gordon does. I got my Gordon's mixed up. Yeah, he loves Alex Gordon. And Moustakas, because he's greek.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 06:22 PM) Shouldn't that be an unearned run for Danish? If it was wrong, they changed it. Unearned on a PB.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 06:29 PM) So tired of hearing Hawk slobber over Gordon. Cheese straws

Chen's goin down tomorrow, and then Sale on Sunday. 3-3 or 4-2 road trip.

Hawkins walk. Sounded like a good AB.

Make em pay

When you have two wild cards and the difference between the playoffs and going home is one game, every game and every call is more important nowadays. I'd rather them get calls right, and if they have to tweak some things about it, they will. It's going to take some time.

I like review. Get the calls right. And it will get better next year. This year will be sloppy.

door is ajar

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 05:43 PM) Last few years I'd say we had zero chance in a game like this...completely different vibe this year. Nice feeling.... Yeah, not saying they're going to be .500, but this team looks like they'll score 75-100 runs more than last year. 702 was league average in 2013. Sox scored 598.

Hawk might want to cool it a little on the Sox being a good club. How about going 4-5 times through the rotation and see what you got first?

QUOTE (Iguchicago @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 05:36 PM) The co announcer's voice and tone has to be the most annoying I've ever heard. I don't even think the main guy likes him. He doesn't even reply to him. Rex Hudler? Yeah, nobody likes him.

Just in general, I wish check swings were more liberal on not swinging. It used to be a lot more loose.
