Renters better have a talk with them tonight.

Jose needs to be thinking one thing.

They just look lost at the plate. Soft hits. How does this team score 8 runs one game and 1 run the next, seems like it happens quite often.

I wouldn't be against an Anderson bunt, or I wouldn't have before he looked at a fastball right don't the freaking middle.

They better do something here damnit. Don't get my hopes up and crush them lol.

First rule of baseball...catch the ball. Get in front of it. Stop being lazy. They teach you that in little league.

Why was Asche playing in on Davis?

Nice to come home from work to see the boys split it. 15-12. Tied for first in the division. Now on to Baltimore. Definitely a tougher team to face, and with Covey and Pelfrey pitching, not too overly optimistic, but definitely optimistic. Baltimore has lost 2 in a row, so there's that. Will be interesting to see how the Sox play against a "good" team outside of the division.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ May 3, 2017 -> 09:30 PM) Do we have any pitchers who can DH instead of Assche or May? Looking forward to that Delmonico call up.

QUOTE (daggins @ May 3, 2017 -> 09:28 PM) If you want to see what regression looks like, it's getting totally shut down by Nate Karns. He's actually pitching pretty well. Locating his pitches well. You can tell the Sox are disappointed at the plate after they hit it realizing its going to be an out...seems like they have a gameplan at the plate but it isnt working. I was kind of expecting the Sox to have better luck second time through the order, but hasn't happened yet unfortunately.

2nd time through the order...they are seeing Pelfrey better.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 3, 2017 -> 08:54 PM) I never really realized what a high quality defensive 2B looked like before Yolmer came up. He's pretty f'n steady with the glove. Well...the Sox haven't really had horrible 2b. Lawrie wasn't bad, Beckham was actually a very good defender, going back, Iguchi was solid too. We have had a lot of high quality defensive 2b, particularly Beckham.

Does anybody know who Hawk is talking about during picks to click when he says all of those names that picked the click with him. Are they like his friends or something?

It feels like the Sox have the upper edge to win every game that Covey does not pitch...that is a nice feeling!!!

Coveys is lucky to just have given that up

Coveys leaving everything center cut in the middle, batting practice pitches, offspeed pitches with zero deception, how they have not scored yet is beyond me.

This just "feels" like it's going to be a bad game. I feel like the Sox offense is about to take a tumble...also great defense by Davidson

There was one of them hanging sinkers.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 1, 2017 -> 08:26 PM) We baseball'd right there. Lol

Missing with 5 straight and not even 15 pitches in...not many things agitate me more when a pitcher can't throw strikes.

QUOTE (Blackout Friday @ Apr 30, 2017 -> 03:26 PM) Not able to watch the game, but Avi exited early and is listed as day-to-day. Nothing bad I'm assuming? Detroit announcers said it was groin...sounds like it was connected to that fly ball he caught the other day that he came up awkwardly on.

Well it was a nice little run while it lasted. These games happen. At least they won the series. Can't be mad about being 5-1 vs divisional opponents in 6 games. Gotta dust off the shoes and get ready for a 4 game set vs KC.

QUOTE (harkness @ Apr 30, 2017 -> 03:02 PM) Anderson has looked horrible since his home run. He just has to stop swinging at garbage sliders down and away. Reminds me of Abreu last year...you just know he is gonna swing at that slider outside, even if it starts outside of thr zone. That shows me that Anderson is over thinking up there. See ball hit ball.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 30, 2017 -> 12:44 PM) 5. If there is a lead, they call it final. If it's tied, they'll suspend until June 2. If they play less than 5 full, it didn't happen. Gotcha, thanks. Any word on delays yet?

How many innings do they need to play in order for the game to be official if someone has a lead? Is it 5?
