Late June.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 1, 2015 -> 10:15 PM) After 2, 2, and 0 runs, where are we now in runs per game? Dead last, with 64. Sox have played less games than the Giants and Phillies though.

Season feels like 2011 already, in the worst possible way.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 1, 2015 -> 08:55 PM) just counting down the days til we are completely irrelevant. Unless you're already at zero, you're kidding yourself.

If you watch Mad Men, there's a scene in 7A where Cutler describes Lou thusly: "Lou is adequate." Lou is Flowers.

Flowers is fine. Soto is junk but he isn't seeing many innings. AJ is 38.

No

Jordan Guerrero is a machine. 8IP 2BB 5K 1ER 11-4 GB/FB. .69 ERA

The other two in the bottom 3 are Eaton and Melky. Before long, Hahn has to realize there is a need for a standout defender in the OF, and Shuck isn't that guy.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 04:37 PM) Viciedo wouldn't have caught that. Not a chance in hell. Melky isn't great but he came up as a CF.

I am liking having guys like Petricka and Jennings available in the 7th inning.

Royals getting Royal'd

Well what did we give up for Youk? A busted pitching prospect and Lillibridge. I wonder what the equivalent of that is in our system now.

Cheap rentals on older guys with playoff experience. If it comes to rentals. Aramis Ramirez seems like 2012 Youkilis right now, struggling on a struggling team, although no one is obviously pushing him out. Carlos Ruiz is still reasonably good and likely available. Gerardo Parra in the OF. Guys on expiring contracts. No need to go all in on 2015.

Timmy struggling lately. The K's are piling up. Danish doing Danish stuff, tons of groundballs.

Trayce is riding the BABIP wave right now, he will have to start hitting for a lil more power and stop striking out if he is going to last.

Looks like Jose is doing what Sale did and letting the Royal get themselves out.

This is gonna be another drubbing isn't it.

BABIP luck, aka Royals luck.

Margalus saying Michalczewski benched for not running out a pop-up that dropped fair. He was thrown out. So, no injury.

True, although he is repeating low A after doing pretty well there last year.

Also, Guerrero is clearly ready for A+. Double promotion?

QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Apr 22, 2015 -> 01:33 PM) Looks like Trey Michalczewski left today's game after one at-bat, hope it's not a serious injury. I was confused by this, since the box score kept moving between having Trey 0-4, K, and what it shows now. The WS recap doesn't mention Trey leaving the game, and the guy that replaced him, Ethan Wilson, doesn't have an MILB record past 2011. Really strange.

Barring some kind of cosmic convergence, this team as assembled will not continue to average just over 2 runs scored a game.

Nerves and hype. I'm just glad its over.
