He Gone!

Sox Win!

Sox Win! 

Back end of the bullpen looking good!!!

The win was a gift from Seattle, but the play of Moncada and Anderson was great.

Would love to see Burr develop into that 7th inning guy.

Nice comeback. This should tighten this group up a lil. And wait to Abreu gets started. Watch out..

At least they capitalized on Seattle's mistakes. Good to see the team hitting. Crowd was into it the whole game.

Yattah Boyz #3!

I'd like to see Burr/Herrera/Colome in the 7th, 8th, and 9th for the foreseeable future. I don't trust Fry at all anymore.

Good to the them battle through adversity and pull out the W, last season it would have been ball game ova after giving up the lead 

Memo to Rickeye: In the modern game you don't a!ways make your starters go six.  Third time through is not the charm. 

Hoping a couple young arms graduate to the bullpen and the manager does not over expose the weak gloves on this squad.

Anderson getting pegged tomorrow 

I was saying it's a shame he breaks the weird, stupid unwritten rules of baseball all the time. I wonder if all teams will start pegging him. I love TA, but I hate the unwritten rules of baseball. One time you should have an unwritten rule, they don't have it. There should be an unwritten rule against shifting to get a guy to pull the ball into it. It embarrasses the hitter, so it should be an "unwritten rule."

WHAT A GREAT OPENER. I hope some of you who had such a bad time in 2017 opener were there today. Had to be a great atmosphere as everybody loves offense. Should be interesting to see if Hahn created a good 7th, 8th, 9th inning situation with Burr, Herrera, Cologne. If it's lights out, he won't be fliipping them at any deadline!

LOVE U Moncada, Anderson, Eloy, hated our cleanup hitter choice, Abreu, et. all.

Fry and Lopez were really the only pitching bright spots last season. Hopefully they get it together soon.  

Didn't get to watch the game today, but the calls for Moncada's RBI are glorious.

Anyone who says Benetti doesn't love the Sox isn't watching.

You think they traded Omar for trade bait?

Benetti is a star in the making. Great voice and delivery. He needs a home run call but frankly not much else. He is a delight. Stone is simply the best color analyst alive. If you want to be annoyed, watch a Royals game.

There's quite a few competing teams that need a closer, already.  If you don't think Colome will/could be dangled near the deadline I got news for you.

Good comeback win

If he is dominant why the hell would we trade him if we'll need a closer for next season when we are a WS contender? Who is the closer we'll be targeting in free agency next winter? Now if Colome and  Herrera suck or are meh, fine, trade them. If the Sox are .500 they'll be in the Central race. At some point they might try to win a pennant, that would be nice.

You find another one?  If you could get a top 50-75 prospect for him you pull that all day.  We have 2 years before we are going to be in contention for anything.  We also have guys that project as high leverage relievers within the org.
