QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 02:26 PM) Q is probably the only player you pray gets off to a good start True but I don't think one bad out will do anything to hurt his value, especially one this early

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 02:22 PM) This. Q is the definition of someone that can do that without his best stuff. Just not today. Exactly. People need to calm down, its one game .

QUOTE (Moncada @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 02:11 PM) Not an overreaction, but Q's performance just makes me miss having an ACE that could hold a team in check without his best stuff. Quintana is an ace and is capable of doing that, especially mentally and emotionally. When Chris Sale get mad, he gets rocked.

QUOTE (beautox @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 02:10 PM) Nahh plenty of people s*** the bed on opening day, wake me up in a month if Q is still giving up two HR's a start to AAAA scrubs. I said that on Twitter, a lot of starters get lit up on Opening Day. I thought the rain delay was going to throw off at least one of the pitchers

Que the overreactions over one start

Just had an epic computer malfunction at work right when Jones came to the plate, so I'm sorry... its my fault.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 05:46 PM) Ghost in the Shell was just not a very coherent movie...despite ScarJo's best efforts. Those hoping for Lucy II, you're going to have to wait. Only fans of the manga will enjoy it, assuming they can get beyond the whitewashing. Or if you enjoy futuristic movies like The Fifth Element, but even that movie was more groundbreaking. It's hard for Ghost in the Shell to be groundbreaking because a lot of stuff has taken direct cues from it. Looking at you Matrix, which doesn't need a reboot.

Im not trying to speak for the masses, as I can only speak for myself. I really enjoyed it, although I thought the movie really dragged during the origin stuff and that was its biggest flaw. They should've went with The Major being an absolute and avoid diving headfirst into the origin. And the costumes and props were f***ing amazing. Glad to see it be very faithful to the source material. f***, the movie got my mother (a black woman in her 50s) to check out the original anime film. The rollout to the movie reminded me of BvS, in that there was a lot of bad press surrounding the movie before it even hit theaters and people already started to form opinions on the finished product before they even seen it. I was pleased to see that it's during well overseas. There's a lot riding on this movie, not just the future of anime adaptions but the future of female fronted blockbusters. I would say there are only about 15 'movie stars' on the planet and ScarJo is not just one of them but she's one of the biggest as all her films do really well financially. If the one dependable female star has a movie that falters, a $100M+ movie at that, it's bad for actresses everywhere and movies in general as studios are going to get a very timid about greenlighting female led films. I guess we're going to have to wait a while for Furiousa for example. That's my take but as always you should see it for yourself and form your own opinion.

They should totally bring back the vest. I think the Rockies are the only team that still wears them.

QUOTE (SexiAlexei @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 04:57 PM) So the biggest fans who took a day off work are who they're gonna piss off? Good luck getting fans in. I worked from 3am to 12pm to catch this game. They could've called and rescheduled it over the weekend. Inexcusable

Anyone want to meet up and grab a drink?

Made a deal with the devil. Going to work at 3am Monday, I work till 11. So me and my family can attend the game. Our first opening day.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 1, 2017 -> 02:18 PM) It's not really a matter of power stroke. Anderson needs to walk more before he leads off. Why can't he work on that while batting leadoff?

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Apr 1, 2017 -> 02:16 PM) Anderson is a terrible idea. I wouldn't mess with his approach until he's completely comfortable at this level. He's never going to be patient. It's not him. If you're rebuilding, why not throw him there and let him develop in that spot? It's not like the team is competing for anything. What do they have to lose?

I think it would be pretty cool to track who from the forum wins SoxMath going forward with what prize they picked. I won #SoxMath in August and won a 2005 decorated baseball. Before it counts, as anyone else here won before?

I don't get the fascination with Anderson's power stroke, that's not what's going to make or break him as a player.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 1, 2017 -> 01:19 PM) I want him to feel free to develop his power stroke and I worry at leadoff he'll feel pressure to just make any contact. I'd rather Anderson focus on contact and getting on base than developing his power swing.

69-93. Sale and Eaton are gone. Avi will be playing in the field. Impending trades. I think the Padres have the #1 pick wrapped up but the Sox should get a top 6 pick.

I think Anderson should bat leadoff every single game and regardless of how he's doing, he should stay there the entire season. The Cubs did a similar thing with Rizzo when he came up with them, they batted him third everyday regardless of his performance.
