100pc on Hendriks, not AJP.

Nope he needs to make that catch  But giving up 4 hits in an inning ain't gonna get it done...I'll give you that.

"Don’t think this team is nearly as good as they believe and other teams in this weak ass division aren’t nearly as bad. "

 

Again, you came to this conclusion after one game and without KC and Cleveland even playing one game.  Your spring training analysis must have been very thorough.  Come back and tell us after 2 months how good you think the rest of this division is.   

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I’ve been pessimistic about this team the entire off-season. I don’t think they run away with the division. But I’ll come find ya in two months ??

Gave up 2 doubles today too.

? Comforto would have had that one in his back pocket

Eloy or Vaughn would have had that ball. Pollock was too nonchalant given the situation. You have to look that ball into your glove and  put the game away.

 

You mean into the tenth…where Ruiz likely would have been pitching and Harrison leading off.

Pollock looked fine until the bottom of the 9th.

Was that the first time he ever played in Detroit?  Maybe one series his entire career prior to today…?

We can blame the rain, but he didn’t get all the way back to the wall and post up as quickly as he needed to…he was drifting a bit and then didn’t get a good jump up when he hit the wall.  It’s only like 8 or 8 1/2 feet there, right?

The last out was Pollock, so it would have been Robert, Abreu, Grandal, with Pollock on 2b.

The season always turns bad once they start playing games. 

What a crazy day,

Big difference playing in a familiar league instead of having to face new hitters in August.

Wow after one game!!!!!   

There is a pattern. I think every member of the team has to take turns being on the IL.

Guess I was thinking of the first blown lead in the 8th…Harrison led off the top of the 9th I think.  Oh well, it doesn’t even matter at this point.  Jimenez would have had the advantage over the remaining Sox pen guys.

Thought about PHing Mendick just because he had a better chance to homer off Soto.

also a big difference doing a job he's done his entire career.

This argument seems familiar, where did we hear it?... btw, is Kelenic going to DH more, or Haniger? 

Wonder why the Sox can't do the same with Eloy.

Lol he gave up 2 hits and a run. An 18 whip and 9 Era and you're pounding your chest.

SSS, lol.  Let's see where he is May 15th. 

Pretty crazy how Miggy Cabrera has two huge hits on consecutive Opening Days at home in miserable weather...

Yikes, I just saw the Pollock play on MLB network for the first time. How do you not catch that? Just bad. 

Watched most of this at work.

 

Lineup needs to score more than 4, bullpen needs to be better, especially Liam, and AJP needs to catch that.

I give him a pass. He's an NL guy playing in Detroit without the benefit of playing much RF in his life. So not at all familiar with the ball park.

But like some said you get the lead you perhaps, at that point, put your best defensive OF out there to protect the 1 run lead. Did you see Torkelson trying to catch popups in foul ground ?

This is the third time today I’ve thought someone was talking about Pierzynski at first look. We need a better nickname that one is taken:

Looked like the same team from the 2nd half last year on the road. Not enough hitting , BP giving up late leads. Getting early runs then mostly silent the rest of the game.

I have a hard time giving a MLB outfielder a pass for misjudging a fly ball. He was there, he just simply didn’t catch it.
