Looking like it could be an 8-7 type day with the control issues both pitchers are having.

Milone having lots of control issues too.

Our pitching is so pathetic.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 11:25 AM) 3 for 8 with a homer and 2 strikeouts against a guy is about as uninformative as a sample gets, and one of his hits Wednesday was a swinging bunt. I get that Beckham is a better choice than Gillaspie but he shouldn't just be an automatic start against lefties. And the reason is because he suuuUUUCKS GOD IT'S SO AGGRAVATING. Seriously though, he hasn't done jack **** to earn these plate appearances over Bonifacio. I agree with you, I was just exploring reasons as to why he got the start again.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 11:11 AM) Look if Bonifacio's not gonna play against lefties, we might as well get rid of him. Probably has to do with Beckham's success against Milone and the fact that he had a good day at the plate on Wednesday.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 10:52 AM) You are certainly entitled to your feelings and opinions, and I get what you are saying about it being "one and done," but if anything about that championship depresses you, you might want to readjust your perspective a bit. "Depresses" might be too strong a word, I went to Game 2 of the World Series and it was definitely one of the best days of my life, I meant more that the further we get away from the championship the more I get annoyed at our recent bad play and how we can't seem to string a few good seasons together. That should have been the season where we turned the corner and became a consistent playoff threat. The Twins, Tigers, and Indians have all dominated this division for long stretches since '95, and I'm waiting for our turn. Watching all the mistakes the team made the past few days just makes me miss the '05 team more. I will always have fond memories of the championship, but in 110 seasons we've made the playoffs 9 total times, and never 2 seasons in a row.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 09:25 AM) All this 2005 talk makes me want another title soon. I don't want this to turn into the Sox version of the 85 Bears What kills me more is how mediocre we've been since then. If we had a few more division titles and a few more 90 win seasons then I would look back on '05 more fondly, as it stands it just depresses me more because the game 163 win has been the only thing worth cheering about since then.

Beckham is 3-8 with a HR off Milone, I'm thinking he'll be in the lineup tonight.

It's not the end of the world but it's enough to ruin your week barring a sweep of the Twins this weekend.

-15 run differential already.

I thought Flowers was good at throwing out runners last year, what the hell is going on in this series.

The Indians and Tigers look good too, we need to get our s*** together in a hurry.

I was so pumped for this season, and in a couple days this team managed to kill my enthusiasm. Great job guys. We better beat on the Twins.

This 2-run deficit feels like 10

At this point I just want a 2-4 record through 6 games.

It's never f***ing easy, how many times has the leadoff man been on now?

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 02:34 PM) Yep, we let him get the game to the Royals 'pen, so a nice 0-3 start looking squarely at this team. Well he'll probably be out next inning, and I'd rather face him than their pen.

Can anyone give me a description of the catch?

C'mon, if you had told me Danks would have only given up 1 run through 4 I'd think we'd have a nice lead right now.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 02:01 PM) It's 4 innings into his 1st start. Also he's been getting hit hard, his defense is bailing him out.

Abreu with 3 hits on the year, all for extra bases, what a stud.

If Yost wants to keep having guys bunt (especially when those guys have been killing us), feel free to keep doing it. I love the gimme outs.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 01:39 PM) Yes. There is no reason to pass on a pitch you can hit hard just to work a count. You may not get another anywhere near as good to hit. Especially with their bullpen. We don't need to make Volquez's pitch count run high, just get good wood on him.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 01:39 PM) Probably the first game. I haven't seen higher than 91 I don't think On Gameday I saw 92.

How fast was Danks' fastball last year?
