Balta1701 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 05:55 PM) If we lose today or if we go back home at 2-4, please, please, please, no one say IT'S EARLY. Games the first week in April count the same as those in September. We are not good enough to be below .500 to end April. While I agree with you on the games counting just as much in April...what do you think the Tigers are saying right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 QUOTE(daa84 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 12:57 AM) THRILLED with 2-4? i dont care how bad you think we are, but if you are thrilled to be 2-4 thats sad...that means you are basically expecting 0-6, happy if 1-5 and thrilled if 2-4...thats some low expectations I don't expect the Sox to easily win any game started by our 3-4-5 starters this year. By that, I mean it's going to be hard to be confident going into a game started by those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanne Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 07:57 PM) What else is new? This is the Javier Vazquez experience -- no sack, nibbling, running up his pitch count. But, yeah, we have some real starting pitching depth. Oh please...

fathom Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 01:01 AM) Carmona's heavy ball is just too much for us in this weather. We won't win many games if we can't hit the long ball. For as much talk as there was about OBP this offseason, the only position where we improved in that category is LF. We're also slower than we were last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 We will probably hear tomorrow about how cold it was and it was hard to get a good grip, etc, but the Tribe's picthers probbaly have hotter hand or something. But, I am not ready to give in yet. Possibly the offesne will mount a rally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 08:01 PM) Like last game? No, yesterday we weren't facing a pitcher dominating us. I think you missed my point. This team needs to hit homeruns to score 4-5+ runs a game, which is about the amount we would need to have this game tied up with Carmona pitching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Well so much for making him work. Terrible call by the firstbase ump on the Konerko K. At least Linebrink and Jenks should get an inning in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is his career record, right? He had a good year last year, but it didn't dispell the theory that he's not a clutch pitcher. Relying on him to be the core of our rotation is no sure thing.
