Im so tired of these pitchers pitching from behind in the count. Get ahead and stay ahead. Make them beat you from down 1-2 or 0-2. Too many full counts, just like yesterday.

And a seeing eye bloop single after a walk loads the bases with Avi up. Oh Lord.

If Palka continues his non existent hitting, and Cordell hits in AAA, I bet they are swapped during the season. My money is on seeing Cordell at some point before the september call-ups either due to poor performance from Palka or he or Leury gets injured.

On a good note, TA7 is en fuego right now.

This is true, BUT for any team when you are constantly allowing them to see 7 to 8 pitches per at bat you are going to get clobbered. At least they arent walking much, but this just shows me the Sox pitchers don't have major league stuff to get hitters out.

And theres another 8 pitch at bat full count for EE.

Constant full counts by our pitchers. Constant. At bats taking for ever.

Every one of these at bats lasting at least 5 pitches. That inning took forEVER. Seattle just has a great hitting team. The arms of our pitchers are going to fall off if our starters can't even pitch 5 innings.

Same shit different year

How annoying. Keep starting off 1-0 and 2-0 ending with full counts and then soft singles.

Say what you want about the babip, Going the opposite way is what made Avi so good a couple years ago, then he reverted after he got injured and kept trying to pull everything again. So yes, being a hitter than can hit to all fields is advantageous, and IMO makes you more valuable because as a hitter you can be used in many different ways in different situations. Tim also has speed and power which just adds to it.

And McCann

This ballgame is ovah...pen suckksss

I remember I always loved it when McCann came up to bat for Detroit, because he never hit. Really my least liked aquisition of the offseason. I hope he gets replaced in the next couple months by Collins or Sevala.

Well when Jay comes back, you will probably get your wish.

I wanted to see Palka bunt it it to 3rd

There ya go Eloy, 2-2 for him

Yes, not worried about catching up to 4 runs, am worried about the Mariners scoring more.

83 pitches and counting in the 4th...hope Banuelos feels good today.

But they sure can hit the baseball.

That's what you're going to get with Leury in center instead of Engel. Sacrificing defense for the hits. Yeah, Lucas not looking sharp. Sigh...I really want him to be able to put it together.

Unfortunately this is starting to look like the Sox won't score any runs until they get into the bullpen. Hope im wrong.

Yolmer making up for his errors to start the season

Im sure the great showing yesterday helped. Also if it is anything like it is over here across the pond, this is the most beautiful day of the year so far. And its saturday.

Yeah, sorry, I'm on eastern time and forgot to do the 1 hour difference.
