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.

Is Goldberg one of those guys that is starting just to get innings, but will end up a reliever if he makes it?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 10:27 AM) If the game gets cancelled, it's a two-game sweep. It won't be cancelled. It may get postponed, but it won't be cancelled. Postponed--game will be made up Cancelled--game will not be made up Rongey makes this mistake, and it drives me nuts. Sorry, I had to vent there.

Eaton 8, Semien 5, Abreu 3, Dunn DH, Garcia 9, De Aza 7, Ramirez 6, Flowers 2, L. Garcia 4. Quintana 1

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 07:56 AM) The front coming through today is a warm front, so it should be 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. At least it is down here. Accuweather's hourly forecast has 4-7pm at cloudy and 39 degrees.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 07:40 AM) If the radar future track on weather.com is to be believed, the rain should end by around noon, providing a window. Hope they don't just postpone it early, hate rainouts. They could definitely play the "inclement weather" card and postpone it now, but if there is a window after 2pm or something, they'll play. It can't be much colder than yesterday.

Just cutting to the chase... The Sox are going to average 20K a game this year unless they contend and the weather is extra good. 1.6-1.7 mil

Buehrle 10 K's in 8 innings. No runs. First 10 K performance since he struck out 12 Mariners on 4-16-05 in 1 hr. 39 min.
