Tough day at the plate for Micah. Even though the ump didn't help that AB

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 03:10 PM) Ever since you said he sucks ironically. Hey, if that is what it takes I will say every game. Soto has had some good ABs today. Get him some more playing time

Good swing Conor!

That isn't even close to a strike. Jesus

Jeff has been solid after the first 2 innings.

That was a hanger, LaRoche should have crushed that

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 02:41 PM) He's 1 for 2 on CS, right? That's better than Flowers' 0 for 8 I guess. Most of the SB's have been off the pitcher

Hey there, nice defense! We are playing like I thought we would to begin the year, good news.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 02:34 PM) SotoBomb. You win!!

That looked pretty low there ump

Why does this take so long

Good job by Micah to get that tag down

He is out. Come on!

I would really like to know what is behind Conor's thinking when deciding on batting gloves or no batting gloves

Well that is a downer.

That will work!

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 02:10 PM) Well that's the thing. It's not as if he's been bad, it's just that he looks very uncomfortable. It wouldn't surprise a lot of us if he ends up booting a few because he looks awkward out there. He is probably putting a lot of pressure on himself to do well fielding since that seems to be the main thing going against him according to most experts. He just seems to be rushing sometimes, I think he will work it out though. I have faith. Load him up! A couple great ABs by LaRoche today! Let's go Avi

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 02:02 PM) I mean I don't want to be a dick here but read through your posts in this thread? You're the leader of the gameday gloomers. All you do is complain and make ridiculous mischaracterizations over individual occurrences. Aren't you going for a degree in sports management? You have yet to give one nuanced opinion in this entire thread. It's just one line shots that lack any subtlety. I also would rather post my frustrations out on this board then take them out another way.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 02:06 PM) I don't know what others are watching but Micah Johnson has made two great plays today and has been solid at second so far this season I agree, if he makes the plays I don't really care how goofy he looks doing it. If he starts to make errors on easy plays then we might have a problem.

If I wasn't so pissed off with the play of this team to start the season I could come up with something better. Until then I will stay in a posting rut

Jeff's breaking ball is just bad

Micah has been pretty good with charging the ball

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 01:51 PM) Lots of rash and pedantic comments in the game thread. I know that's to be expected but dear god some of you need to get a hold of yourselves. Teams go through ruts, the Sox came out flat when there was a lot of excitement. That doesn't mean everything that was said last week is now null and void. I am not fleeing anytime soon and I don't care how many fans are at the stadium. If this was early June it would be different. Since it is the first week and the first time really seeing this team it makes it 10x worse then what it should be

I'm confused, what is this hitting the ball thing we seem to be doing?

There ya go Conor!! If Robin didn't play the infield in this could be a tie game at least
