That was the only reason I clicked the thread.

Humber is getting lit up by Sox minor leaguers. Brandon Short homered off him, and they've scored at least 4 runs in one inning.

 

I'm not going to second guess this...if they don't push Humber back to April 9th, they are stupid. They need to lean on the top 4 while Peavy is out.

So Peavy has gone 10 up, 10 down apparently. He stayed for 4 batters in the 2nd inning because he got them all out too fast. #winning.

I mean, yeah, he had 1 bad inning after 2 strong innings.

Doesn't make it much better. They can get away with him starting on the 9th and 19th against Wade Davis, and then hopefully Peavy is ready to come back on the 24th.

I was just coming here to post the updates.. Peavy looking sharp, faced 13, got 13 out.. he K'd Quentin twice.

 

Humber... Unfortunately he is NOT looking any good.

I posted this yesterday and then never came back to the thread but what happened to putting the starters out there the last week of the season to get in a groove and be ready for the season??????????

 

Has the Opening day lineup played in one game this spring?

 

I understand spring means nothing to this organization but slow starts and finishes are the norm and they are doing nothing to change that.

 

The only consistent hitters that are somewhat guaranteed for this season are Dunn and Konerko and age could get the better of both of them. This team could easily hit .180 or .300 in April.

I don't think we've seen the expected everyday lineup for a while now. According to Yahoo: SS Alexei Ramirez (back spasms) was scratched from the March 28 game. He was expected to be ready for Opening Day.

I feel that comparing with other teams the Sox actually had the 'regulars' playing a LOT during the spring.

 

 

Something Boers and Bernstein were discussing about Humber was how hard everyone seemed to hit the ball against him.

sounds like Jake is on the rise again. please, no more "bumps" in the road. I'd just love to see what this guy can do if 100% healthy but can you ever really trust that it's going to happen...?

Dunn homer. See, nothing to worry about.

only 2 more days of not giving a s*** when a sox pitcher gets hammered. I'll miss it.

and for today i don't care that PK pops out to short w/bases juiced. My blood pressure remains low.

Why is Lillibridge still playing? Aren't they leaving...like in an hour?

He's the 25th man, he's walking

He should be loading the luggage in the bus right now.

Another fine Ozzie Guillen spring training.

 

 

 

 

And yes, I'm kidding around and don't care about spring training results.

The state of our minor league systems contributed alot to that record. They are simply terrible.

Looks like one of two things is going on here.

 

1.) He's exclusively working on a pitch and is thus getting beat around

or

2.) I was totally wrong and Humber is a total long shot to even give us a 4.5 ERA for 5 starts.

 

We shall see.

 

/me twittles fingers.

 

muahahaha

Well it's time to flip that switch. A slow start is not going to work this year. It starts on Friday. To win your division you need to beat your division.
