QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 03:06 PM) In RF?? No way, disagree. Range is more important than the fielder's arm in every outfield position. I'd rather have 3 Brett Gardners than 3 Alfonso Sorianos in my outfield.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 03:05 PM) The first 3 games havent "proven" anything to me other than we look like we have more energy and confidence. Baseball is not a sprint. Garcia's never been known for his range, this really isn't anything new.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 03:03 PM) Who said it was unique? I asked if it was your opinion for clarification. I prefer him in right because of his arm, I like a strong arm throwing home from RF. Range is a hell of a lot more important than arm. As you can see in this game today.

Go yard again Alejandro.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 02:55 PM) No it's not. It's not a law or anything, but teams tend to stick their worst outfielder in LF. I don't know if there's any real evidence to backup that LF is somehow the easiest outfield position, but from the very small sample size of data we do have on Garcia, he's atrocious in RF and CF, but not awful in LF in his VERY limited time. AND ADAM DUNN!

Yeah, he shouldn't be hitting second.

Good to see Eaton hit something other than a ground ball.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 02:52 PM) So you have the opinion the worst fielder in the OF plays in left? That's usually the case.

Avisail will probably end up being a LFer.

Bad Luck Jose should be made into a meme.

Damn it.

Mauer finally got a hit.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 02:36 PM) Leury needs to bunt more. He just can't hit. I hate bunts. But yeah Leury should be bunting at least once every at bat.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 02:35 PM) That is 2/7 You could have told me he's 0-7 with 7 Ks and I'd totally believe you.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 02:35 PM) Flowers should have gotten rung up and somehow got a hit again. CB Bucknor's strike zone is pretty bad.

It's hard to believe that Flowers is actually hitting .286.

Alexei belongs in the 2 spot.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 02:25 PM) Sometimes I wonder why there aren't more dugout fights. I would have lit my teammates up if I was Q. That's a great way to burn bridges 2 games into the year. I'd be pissed, but I wouldn't make a huge deal out of it.

Quintana's absolutely nasty today. It's a shame Flowers and the defense cost him a shot at going deep in this game.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 02:22 PM) MLB Gameday scored them as unearned. They had them as earned earlier in the inning when I checked. I guess they changed it. Edit: they still have them as earned.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 02:20 PM) No one technically reached on an error. The Sox have an error on the board, so what was that for?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 02:20 PM) I believe the guy who reached on an error was erased on the bases. He wasn't. Escobar scored.

Semien looks lost.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 02:15 PM) How are all of those earned? Yeah I don't understand how they're earned either. Had Flowers not had the passed ball, no runs would have scored if you assumed the rest of the inning went the same way.

Quintana might throw 6 innings today if he's lucky and our bullpen is pretty taxed after yesterday. Thanks a lot Flowers.
