QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:49 PM) Alex Gordon has to get called on that roll into Micah. If this isn't opening day at home that's a call that should be made every time. I've seen far worse take out slides. It's part of the game.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:48 PM) No need to overreact. It's ok just one run. Pitch selection albeit one pitch to Salvy was bad. Free swinger. Showed in the World Series to not throw him a strike Throw him high and in and he'll try to swing every time.

Hitting Gordon really screwed up that inning for us. Turned nothing into something.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:45 PM) He was referring to Gordon Ok that makes way more sense.

Did Stone just say Rios was in the conversation for MVP until August? Wha?

I don't see how that's intentional. He already buzzed Hosmer.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:39 PM) No it certainly doesnt. He did hit better back then though. Atleast that's who we thought we were getting. Tyler's got pop, that's never been his problem. He just can't hit an off-speed pitch to save his life.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:37 PM) You mean steroids like back in Atlanta HGH doesn't help with pitch selection and plate discipline.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:36 PM) Flyers needs to bat 8th. Pathetic. Catcher is going to be a black hole this year. He is batting 8th. I think you meant 9th.

QUOTE (almagest @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:35 PM) I don't get it - Flowers is a catcher, he knows that they're going to call for a s***ty offspeed pitch in the dirt after he just flailed wildly at a s***ty offspeed pitch in the dirt. Can he just not recognize pitches or what? He needs his magic glasses back.

Why would you not throw Flowers a breaking ball?

Avi scores if that actually gets to the wall.

Damn, I thought that was going to gap Gordon and Cain.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:30 PM) Avi stay in game? He's fine. It kind of just grazed him from what I saw in the side view. He also has an elbow pad.

He's got some padding there.

Our 3 and 4 hitters saw 2 pitches. :|

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:27 PM) De Aza hit a home run I feel like Alejandro's going to bounce around from team to team looking good the first few years. Then he'll start being mediocre/bad while making a ton of mental mistakes. Eventually leading him to get traded. Then the process starts all over again.

First K of the year.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:22 PM) Man I hope he reads this thread for advice. ;-) Everyone would be a better player if they just read internet forums!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:21 PM) Moustakas at 2 with Perez at 8 seems kinda weird... I don't understand why Moose is hitting second. Unless he breaks out this year, it makes no sense.

Gotta be more patient than that Jose.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:11 PM) well, it's been 11 years. Please David Robertson...don't be Billy Koch part II.

Just to be that guy...I don't think the Sox have had a ton of luck opening in KC. I still remember how we blew that opener in 2004 because our bullpen melted down.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:04 PM) Damn Aoki killed the Sox last year. Butler killed us too. And the ultimate Sox killer, Melky, now plays for us. Now if only Bruce Chen can go to the NL or just stay down in the minors.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 02:59 PM) That pitching is awful It's nothing to write home about, but they have a lot of hitting.
