Dunn should flip off the crowd now.

Ventura screwed himself there.

It's a Festivus miracle!

QUOTE (daggins @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 08:46 PM) Pierzynski should DH for Dunn. Day game tomorrow. Probably not happening. Dunn will probably be at 1B.

Tommorow's lineup, please: De Aza, Lillibridge, Dunn, Konerko, Rios, Ramirez, Viciedo, Flowers, Escobar

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 08:00 PM) Mark! has a 6-0 lead on the Cubs. Got a hit too. This will be his first NL win.

Rienzo is off to a good start. Probably should be in AA. 7 innings, 1 run, 9 Ks

^ My guess was one off on the low side. Good question.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 12:50 PM) That's the problem. That is the worst possible approach for where the franchise is at right now. That's your opinion. I like this pitching staff. If the Sox can get to 4-5 runs, they can win games.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 12:37 PM) It has nothing to do with being nice. It is all about finding out who is going to be their players going forward. You don't know that in ten games. In April, I'm in win mode. Forget the "who is in our 2013/2014 plans" stuff. The lineup should be the players that give you the best chance to win today's game. Obviously, you have to give guys a day off here and there, but even after 8-10 games, it's obvious Morel isn't the best option in the 2-spot. When he starts hitting at 8, then you may move him back. But for now, it's a bad move.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 12:17 PM) He said he wasnt going to make major changes anytime soon. Yes, and that's dumb. This is the easiest stretch of schedule out of the 6 months, and he's going to bury the team in the first 40 games because of being too nice.

De Aza 8, Morel 5, Dunn DH, Konerko 3, Pierzynski 2, Rios 9, Fukudome 7, Ramirez 6, Beckham 4 Robin...don't be an idiot. Fukudome should bat 2nd in this lineup. Ramirez 7th and Morel 8th (or even not in the lineup).

Charlotte - Leesman http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...dubaaa_chraaa_1 McPherson-single, 2 walks Danks back striking out. Phegley--Healthy? Good? Birmingham - Bayne http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...biraax_cngaax_1 Winston-Salem - Rienzo (Thompson RBI double) http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...wswafa_myrafa_1 Kannapolis rained out.

Morel .118 Beckham .103 Ok, first thing. No more Morel at 2. Second, they get the next two games and the road trip to Seattle and Oakland. If it's the same old s***, they're in Charlotte on April 26.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 09:57 PM) Hawk really needs to get ahold of himself. Unbelievably unprofessional on that last play as Betemit is simply throwing someone out at first. Routine. I just watched that. What an idiot Hawk is.

38 runs in 10 games. That's about right.

Prove us wrong...

Oh for the long one...

Including this game, the Sox have 16 games they should be able to go 10-6 at minimum. 3 vs Bal 3 at Sea (no Felix) 3 at Oak 4 vs Bos 3 vs Cle This is why I don't think it's bad to make an early season roster move if they think it will give them an edge, even if it's a small edge. This is the part of the schedule they need to seize.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 07:08 PM) I just saw the draft will only have 40 rounds this year instead of 50. Had anyone else heard that before? I don't recall it being mentioned when the CBA was ratified. Here's the full draft order... http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/draft/y2012/order.jsp Sox 13, 48, 76, 108, 141, then every 30th pick.

http://twitter.com/#!/MDGonzales/statu...373380547231744 Beckham has played 194 games at home, and he's killing it at .225/.303/.374.

Dylan Bundy pitched another 3 innings of no-hit ball. He's faced 28 batters this season, walked 1 and struck out 15.

Birmingham - Castro http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...biraax_cngaax_1 Winston-Salem - Petricka http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...wswafa_myrafa_1 Kannapolis- Webb http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...kanafx_hicafx_1

De Aza's average went from .250 to .222 today. One of his triples from the Tigers series was ruled an error on Delmon Young.
