James Shields vs Danny Duffy

3:15 CT first pitch

 

Hitters be excited.

Oh look a baseball game. This should be interesting!

54 degrees and cloudy for K.C tomorrow.

 

Not bad.

Wish the team continued improvement across the board in 2018 as the franchise points towards 2020.

I GOT MONCADA AND ABREU ON EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY 45 FANTASY BASEBALL TEAMS THIS YEAR.

 

Can you tell I'm hyped and optimistic? I love opening day.

Anyone else going to be there? Leaving from Northern IL in an hour or so. Checking out the Negro Leagues Museum in the morning before the game. Can't wait; first ever Opening Day of any kind.

very nice. enjoy.

 

Personally I'm looking forward to having something to watch most days around 4-5pm to help pass the last couple hours at the office. There's enough exciting young talent on the Sox this year to keep my interest, hopefully throughout the year it builds to a contender in 2019.

Guesses on lineup? I'll go:

 

2B Moncada

3B Sanchez

1B Abreu

RF Avi

LF Delmonico

DH Davidson

C Castillo

SS Anderson

CF Engel

Moncada

Garcia, A

Abreu

Delmonico

Ya know that actually looks like a decent f***ing lineup imo.

Seems like sox were pretty into the Moncada/Avi 1-2 so i'll go

I'll go:

Which is actually same as flavum.

 

Ideally, though, I'd like to see:

 

Moncada 2B

Avi RF

Abreu 1B

Delmonico DH

Castillo C

Cordell LF

Anderson SS

Sanchez 3B

Engel CF

 

But sadly, Cordell is at Charlotte and Davidson seems to be preferred

Glad we agree on getting Nicky off the field and benching Davidson. I like Leury too but want to see a couple months of Engel at the plate to see if he has actually improved at all

Right or wrong, I don’t see Nicky batting cleanup against Duffy. I think we see something like this:

 

1. Moncada, 2B

2. A. Garcia, RF

3. Abreu, 1B

4. Davidson, DH

5. Castillo, C

6. Delmonico, LF

7. Anderson, SS

8. Sanchez, 3B

9. Engel, CF

Castillo swapped numbers with Santiago.

Hector got his 53 back.

Salvy Perez slipped last night carrying his luggage, and has MCL tear. Out 4-6 weeks.

Not bad for a $60 mil payroll, $20 of which goes to James Shields.

I know what you meant, but 10 mil goes to Shields, 11 is paid by San Diego for 21 total

FWIW, not sure if it has been mentioned but Royals catcher S. Perez is now out 4-6 weeks. Guess he slipped on some stairs carrying his luggage.

Let’s strive mightily to win

 

I know the Sox are probably looking at 75 wins this, but goodness I'm so excited for baseball again. Already working on my tickets to the May 15-17 series between the Sox and Pirates (as I live in Pittsburgh)....

Looking for tank wins and losses
