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

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

2 hits in a row! It's a miracle

At least my home run pick was right! Thank you LaRoche

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 01:40 PM) Ventura really needs to be on the hot seat. Also, I hate Notre Dame! Playing the infield in with 1 out and a 0-0 game with a guy on 3rd really screwed up that inning quickly. That lead to a triple and bam a 4 run inning. He sucks

The f***ing Twins. We are getting worked over by the Twins.

We are going to be the laughing stock of the MLB. Jeff, you suck.

What a f***ing disaster. Have our pitchers heard of holding runners on? Have our catchers heard of making good throws? We look like a damn little league team out there

Robin must really trust our offense with putting the infield in

Wow, every hitter looks 10x better then ours

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 01:26 PM) I don't like his glove in the outfield You should get him a new one

Great 7 pitch inning again for this offense. How bout we come out with a better game plan?

Eaton is much better when he isn't hitting the ball in the air

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 01:13 PM) I think that LaRoache should be the primary First baseman to start the season at least, the team is better defensively when he's on the field, although Abreu has made some good plays to start the year. LaRoche has gotten worse on defense and Abreu has been great so far this year. I'm fine with Abreu starting most games at 1st
