scenario Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yesterday it was reported Nick Masset would start today. Now it appears that it's Floyd. I'm guessing that Masset gets the start tomorrow instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Ozuna, 2B; Cabrera, SS; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; Swisher, LF; Dye, RF; AJ, C; Crede, 3B; Ramirez, CF. Floyd pitching. Opening day lineup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 26, 2008 -> 02:10 PM) Ozuna, 2B; Cabrera, SS; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; Swisher, LF; Dye, RF; AJ, C; Crede, 3B; Ramirez, CF. Floyd pitching. Opening day lineup? Anderson will be starting on Opening Day. And I think they said Thome would bat 5th against lefties, with Swisher 3rd, so...

Even though Ramirez has earned a spot on the roster, Ozzie and KW have said numerous times that he's still raw, and that they want him for a utility role.

NorthSideSox72 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Interesting. He strikes out the first two guys, then gives up a hit and a homer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Very quick top of the 1st for the Sox. 1 2 3. See, this is why I don't like Ozuna as a leadoff man, he popped out on the first pitch. You can't do that against Sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsidehawkeye Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 26, 2008 -> 03:35 PM) Alexei with a slam down the line to give the Sox a 4-3 lead. Down the right field line too! (although the wind was going out that way) Its nice to see that even though a stiff wind burst might be able to knock him off his feet, he still has the power to hit the ball out to the opposite field. If he puts on some muscle after a year of MLB conditioning, he may end up being quite a hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 How many homers will Floyd give up ths year. We should make that a survey. I am guessing at least 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
