Jose Abreu

Let's go Robertson, none of those 2015 shenanigans. Get the win.

So you guys are all fine with Robin leaving Navarro in to bunt rather than PH'ing Saladino and having Avila catch the remaining 1/2 inning? I'm shocked that I'm the only one who would've rather had Saladino bunt.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 11:55 PM) Lawrie seemed too busy trying to take out Semien's leg. He and Chase Utley may be friends

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 11:53 PM) If it was a 3 run game, maybe.. Just isn't worth it. If you're that concerned about your catcher, where you don't trust him... catching... then you need a new catcher

We absolutely suck at baserunning.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 11:51 PM) With Avila's injury history I would not do that You don't trust him to catch 1/2 innings (pending a blown save)?

I'd pinch hit Saladino for Navarro since he's our best bunter and then sub in Avila. Come on Robin.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 11:48 PM) Davis swings 110% on every pitch. I was thinking we should have traded for him this off-season, but I'm not so sure anymore. Agreed, he'd be a huge Soxtalk whipping boy. Approach reminds me of Viciedo.

I do think we need another lefty reliever FWIW, as Jennings is a reverse-split pitcher so he basically functions as a righty, matchups-wise

An insurance run or two would be nice, but I doubt we get it. Pretty weak showing for our offense today. Just one good inning aided by defensive mishaps.

Nate Jones I love you

Damn, Jones challenging Davis with the fastball right in that perfect HR-hitting zone on back to back pitches.

there we go jones, one more

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 11:44 PM) then he overthought it. Why, what's wrong with what he did? You don't want Jones facing Reddick.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 11:42 PM) hopefully it doesnt go 18 innings yeah, these bullpen moves would totally backfire

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 11:42 PM) I assume Robin had Jake start the inning because he wanted a lefty to face Reddick but didn't want to pull Jones. Exactly. Smart move. I wouldn't have minded Albers instead, but won't complain

Ok, I actually agree with how Robin has managed this inning.

Alright, Duke did his job, now get Jones for Valencia please

Good decision by Frazier

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 11:39 PM) Maybe we need a bullpen pitching coach. Coop is awesome with starters. Our pen has reeked for a few years now IMO at least. We had one of the best bullpens in baseball last year and are projected to have a better one this year

QUOTE (RaySox @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 11:37 PM) And just when you thought Robin came to his senses... Duke. lefty/lefty matchup

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 11:37 PM) That was Scott Downs-like Belisario-esque

I guess, to be fair, he did get squeezed on one pitch

Great outing Jake.

So I guess no Nate Jones tonight, unless Petricka isn't pitching the whole inning
