He actually caught that ball. He only dropped it after he hurt himself.

They gotta teach him the Mags slide.

s***...

Nice play by Johnson. That definitely saved a run.

Johnson's fortunate that some of these Rockies hitters are chasing sliders a foot or two outside the zone.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 04:21 PM) gameday's frozen on Alexie getting a seven pitch walk to lead off the sixth, what the hell is actually going on? Sox went 1-2-3 in the top of the inning. Johnson gave up a hard hit liner to Morneau that Tank should have had. Tank then bobbled the ball, missed the cutoff man, and Morneau got to third. Arenado just grounded out to third. Morneau still at third and one out.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 04:19 PM) We make errors like Walter White makes meth At least they're pure errors.

Get Johnson out of there. Please tell me someone's warm in the bullpen.

Horrible play by tank. Then a horrible throw to follow. Ugh.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 04:14 PM) Let's see what he does on the mound, I could care less about the lineup. The leash will definitely be short. Or at least it should be...

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 04:14 PM) Alright. 1-2-3 inning and get yourself a QS Johnson The Q definitely stands for questionable in this case.

And he almost got a hit.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 04:12 PM) 93 pitches this is risky. With two outs and the top of the lineup coming up, it's not the worst thing.

QUOTE (BaconOnAStick @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 04:09 PM) Leave EJ in for one more? He is slightly feeling less shaky than our bullpen. I don't want to see him hit again though, and he's thrown around 90 pitches. Only if we don't get anyone on before him this inning. Even then, it's iffy.

We got real lucky there. Johnson was just about to walk Morneau.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 03:57 PM) Avi was really enjoying taking walks today, he forgot to swing at a close pitch. That's good. I'd rather have him strike out on a borderline pitch than try to hit one way outside of the zone two pitches into the count.

Way to pick up the Cubans Conor.

Viciedo got one strike that at bat...

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 03:45 PM) Beautiful hit and run. Nice work, Semdog. At least it's not Hot Fire.

Perfect hit and run.

Eaton's challenged Arenado twice and won. Impressive.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 03:38 PM) Nolasco, Maholm, etc. Someone durable who won't kill you and can give you the innings and rest your bullpen. Nolasco got quite a bit of money, a lot more than what we should be paying for a innings eater. Maholm would have made more sense, but he'd probably get killed in the AL.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 03:37 PM) Pretty much only throwing 89 and 90 A lot of pitchers have velocity issues in April, but this is like 3-4 MPH slower than what he threw last year. If he's still throwing like this in another 2-3 starts, then we should really be concerned.

Christ Johnson, start throwing strikes, the pitcher's hitting.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 03:35 PM) Like the Phil Hughes/Josh Johnson types. Someone a tier or two above Paulino but not Santana/Jimenez/Garza in terms of financial commitment. I don't think Hughes is really that much better than Paulino. And Johnson can never stay healthy. Nice play by Avisail.
