First time I've thought they won't get the record.

So are we agreed then to not write off a player less than 10 ABs into the season? Also, our bullpen doesn't suck now because of one blown lead.

Don't really understand the criticism of Robin here.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 09:37 PM) They don't have the top line guys down on the farm like the Dodgers do Probably would be something like Soler/Baez+, assuming those two don't sink their value before the deadline.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 06:09 PM) Thor dropped his hammer on the Royals today. The Royals are now 1-1. f*** you KC! Music to my ears! There's not a narrative in baseball more annoying than "Royals magic".

Why is Chris Young starting the 2nd game for the Royals?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 01:10 PM) Eaton is just not a good baserunner I think we realized this his first season. He has speed but zero natural base stealing instincts. I saw that he had a massive lead last night and in my head I'm thinking "he's going". If I can see it at home, it's even more obvious to the players. Sure enough, he was going and got easily picked off. In general I'd prefer this team to try and play station to station until proven otherwise. They have some power in the lineup don't give the other team outs when it might just take one swing to get a couple or a few runs. Eaton isn't a good base stealer but he is a good baserunner. Fangraphs rated him as the 10th best baserunner in the MLB in 2015. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=...0&sort=18,d Also, the Tigers rated as by far the worst baserunning team. Sox were 4th worst. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=...0&sort=17,d

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) I'm all for getting Vogelbach but he's not MLB ready yet and in fact has not played above AA. I agree, I'd like the pickup but I wouldn't expect much from him in 2016.

Sure beats waiting until the 5th game to get the 1st win. Sox now 14-3 in Opening Days going back to the 2000 season.

My heart skipped a beat when that left the bat

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 11:56 PM) 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. I'd rather no one bunted.

If he slides normally he's safe.

I would prefer if we didn't give away outs. I hate bunting.

I assume Robin had Jake start the inning because he wanted a lefty to face Reddick but didn't want to pull Jones.

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. Bullpen did not reek last year, it was serviceable.

Confused why Jones isn't in

2 hard hit balls with nothing to show for it

Abreu having a nice defensive game

That was your pitch to hit.

Ugly swing there

Let him go 7?

Nice jump by Jackson.

1 pitch 1 out. Nice

I miss Rich Hill
