I have tickets tonight with some friends from Boston.. Here’s hoping the weather clears out a little bit.

I have always loved the Gary Redus hats and uniforms. Quite different from historical Sox gear but cool none the less.

Must win game tonight!

So Rodon is on the DL. That owns. 

Very interested in how well Giolito bounces back.  He really looked good before being taken out of the game.

Another week of cold, wet weather which probably has hurt our pitchers more than our hitters.  Will Gio's breaking stuff break like it does in warmer, dryer conditions? And no doubt about it, this awful weather has hurt attendance in April.  Maybe put a retractable dome on the stadium or play most of the April schedule at stadiums located  in warmer climates.

I think that teams should be required to have a retractable roof. Make rainouts a thing of the past.

Sooner rather than later, hopefully. Would be nice for 90 degree summer nights as well. They should just make a rule that all new stadium construction must have a retractable roof. Before too long Wrigley and Fenway would be the only ones left.

It would be prohibitively expensive to retrofit existing stadiums.  Your idea of making it mandatory for future new construction is the way to go.  JR's group won't be here long enough to recoup the cost.  Guess we'll have to wait.

I completely agree about retrofitting being too expensive, hence why new construction is the way to go. 

Gio at  95 and 96.

He's got his fastball up to 96

Gio picking up where he left off.  He looks nice.  95 on his fastball and a nasty changeup for his first strikeout and out.

Nice velo early

What channel locally? 

WGN

This changeup is nasty so far.

Damage coming on the fastball though.

Is this ump blind?  Was almost right down the middle. 

No control as usual with runners on.

This could go to shit quickly. Cmon Gio!

Can't pitch afraid here
