QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 11:23 AM) I have to say, that as a Sox fan, I've had to re-learn how to watch a Sox game. In the past few seasons (Ozzie's teams included) there seems to be a moment in a game where the momentum turned, and the air was let out of the team. They just didnt give a s*** anymore. It became really hard to watch a team give up a few run or two in the 6th or 7th inning and know as a fan, the game was over. I can't tell you how many games got turned off in the 5/6/7 inning, because there was no point in watching anymore. The first two series this season - its clear that this team is different. They don't quit. They'll likely fight to stay above 500 all year, but they will be worth watching. Gotta respect teams that play above the collective talent level(s). Oh yea, and CHRIS SALE!

They will call up Mike Williamson when they have a spot for him. Signed, Bill Melton

Weren't pretty much all of the Sox pitchers down on velocity in KC? Danks sat at 86-89. Johnson around 90. Sale today was hovering at 92-93 after sitting in the mid/upper 90s last start. I wonder if the park gun in KC is down a tick.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 03:54 PM) Do you really need an explanation for that? Shirley, you can't be serious...

Is it just me or did De Aza pull up on that? Looks like he could have gotten there.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 03:46 PM) People would still complain even if we had 3 Mike Trout's starting in the OF What good what it do to have 3 CFers? There'd be no one to cover LF or RF.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 03:37 PM) Like Uribe and Thornton donks? Or butt implant looking ass, like Octavio Dotel? Dotel for sure.

Erik Johnson has some J-Lo ass goin on

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 03:32 PM) Horrible pitch Agreed. letter-high 90mph fastballs get hit hard, typically.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 12:33 PM) lol, Galarragga, Castillo , Bichette, Burks and Walker made a mockery of hitting in that stadium before the humidor and before testing.... "I hits ball far"

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 01:32 PM) It actually seems like the Sox gain a beat when Beckham goes down. Not wishing him injury or anything Semien made some pretty slick plays at 3B in the opening series and seems to be pretty legit defensively. But so is Beckham.

Matt Davidson hasn't stopped hitting after ending Spring Training on a hot streak... 3-3 with a walk and a 2B. http://www.milb.com/gameday/index.jsp?gid=...mp;mode=gameday

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 12:22 PM) I know nobody cares about my fantasy team, but i traded Puig straight up for Wil Myers because I just dont trust Puig to have the year he did in 2013. The guys attitude and the leagues ability to adjust are going to catch up to him. Puig is on my fantasy team as well. I have 3 other good options to start in his place, fortunately. Seeing as how "Dodgers executives" met Puig in the dugout after pre-game workouts today, I think its safe to say they are worrried. If he innocently slept through his alarm or was stuck in traffic, it wouldn't have been a big deal. Maybe Matt Kemp drugged him so he would sleep late, miss the game and he would get to start in Puig's place. hmmmm......

Gotta say, It's nice having legit depth in AAA, though it is just a middle reliever. Semien is another example. Beckham goes down, Sox don't miss a beat.

Jones did the same thing last season. He was pretty brutal in April & May and then was lights out from there. Apr 6.17 May 6.91 Jun 0.59 Jul 3.09 Aug 2.76 Hopefully he rebounds.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 03:22 PM) I see Veal still likes to walk players Who cares. He had an open base and two outs.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 04:10 PM) Attendance is obviously down because the official calender the Sox sent out said this was a 7:10 game....Kidding about the reason, not kidding about the calender. you misspelled calendar TWICE.

QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 03:01 PM) I'm also just being an idiot about the attendance QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 03:03 PM) The Blackhawks coming off a Cup win and at an event you dont get to see very often(outdoor NHL game).....so yeah none of that is comparable. Nice try. oooooooooooh, you soooooooooo got me. :yawn:

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 03:02 PM) Nate Jones is awful and Hahn decided to give Downs $4M guaranteed for some reason. He was coming off of a pretty good full-season, though he did tail off significantly after the trade to ATL.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 03:00 PM) Are you posting from the game? No. Its 85 and sunny where I am. a 12 hour drive is too far to go to a Sox game. I'm also just being an idiot about the attendance, though I do think its pretty embarrassing.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 03:59 PM) ^^^ The Chicago Bears in a race for a playoff spot in a short schedule is very different "Its too cold to go to an outdoor sporting event."

Would Daniel Webb's arm fall off if the Sox made him pitch 2 innings every game?

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 02:54 PM) Attendance is 10K. Yikes. "Its too cold to go to an outdoor sporting event."
