QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:30 AM) Albers was hitting 93-96 last night with movement...... Last year I think he was 89-92... Albers' fastball was under 90 last year. Last night he averaged 94.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 09:49 AM) Good optics. http://espn.go.com/mlb/standings/_/group/league lol soak it up while we can. It's hard to believe we're the only 2-0 team in the AL

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 12:43 AM) I know that video looks bad, but it doesn't show how he did give him a high five a minute earlier. Well I guess that helps a bit. I thought Eaton was being all grumpy after we just went up. Might be a case of, "I just high fived you, now this is awkward".

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 10:15 PM) Are the Rays the first ever replay reversal walk off win? Stupid move by Bautista. His slide was clean, but he hooked the 2B as he went by him.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 12:40 AM) This is the link to the dugout scene... you be the judge. https://twitter.com/nicksamp7/status/717584245405782016 Wow Eaton. Stop being a sore loser.

Nice win. Great way for Rollins to make up for his double play earlier in the game.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 12:33 AM) Is it me or does he look heavier? I haven't really noticed. Hey, if gaining some mass helps him hit better, I don't care.

Melky looks so damn shaky out there.

Now that's a Major League broken bat. That thing just popped like it got shot.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 12:26 AM) That was awkward! Eaton vs Rollins in the clubhouse... thats not good in the long run. I hope they get over it. Wait what exactly happened?

Hitting a homer off Doolittle isn't a easy task. He's one of the better closers in baseball.

I will eat crow for the comment I made a few minutes ago lol.

Holy s*** Jimmy Rollins made up for it!

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 12:17 AM) Rally in the 9th let's go boys get this lead back. That DP by Rollins was brutal. Big insurance runs there that we missed If we lose, that'll be why. Unacceptable to not get a run there with 2-3-4 coming up. It's too early to move people around in the lineup, but I honestly don't agree with Rollins hitting 2nd.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 12:17 AM) Man he hung a slider to Alonso, s*** happens. Easily the worst lefty he had to face in that inning and he threw the worst pitch to him.

Jones didn't have his control. It seems like the lefties coming up affected his mechanics.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 12:00 AM) I know that was only an IF single, but Duke is already giving off a strong Scott Downs vibe this year. He did the same last year. He's good against lefties and that's about it. When he gets hit hard, he gets lit up.

There's definitely times where Robertson isn't sharp. When his knuckle curve isn't working, he's very hittable.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 11:51 PM) Avi has no chance against fastball still Still late on it, still hitting it to the right side.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 11:41 PM) It was Avila/dugout's fault He did it last year too. I can't argue with the results cause Jose's one of the most effective pitchers in baseball given his stuff, but damn it makes the game nearly unbearable to watch.

Albers coming up big.

I just have to say this...watching Quintana pitch with men on base is awful. He takes FOREVER between pitches. It's like he wants to bore the hitter so he'd swing more often.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 08:50 AM) Cubs fans are awful They've already won the WS after winning one game.

I like how FIFA officials were a huge part of this. Just goes to show how screwed up the org was before reforms.

Former Sox Semien got us the win yesterday, can former Sox Bassitt get us the win today?
