flavum Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Long season. You can question the bunt with Alexei, but I think today was more about Masterson. He pitched a real good game, and Danks made a bad pitch at the wrong time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I hated the bunt but this game was about our bullpens inability to get outs overall. s*** happens, go get 'em in KC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Temps should be in the 60's in KC. I hope that warms the bats back up. Thursday at home...53 with a chance of showers...Isn't that every Home Opener? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgrad70 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 02:33 PM) One day our manager will realize that this is the AL and bunts before the 7th inning are something that should be avoided. And that the use of bad loogy's just because they favor their left paw is going involve runs scoring in bunches. A stubborn man whom hopefully is going to be someone else's problem. Here...Here....can we initiate that Florida trade again? He wants to be an NL manager, let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty34 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Might have to think about a way to get Teahen in the lineup against righties like Masterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omar at SS and Teahen at 3rd? I'm not sure what you do, but I agree with you 100%. Alexei had no shot today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hometeamfan Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 02:06 PM) Not calling him an ace is not ripping him. Starters need to give you more than 6 innings. Masterson cooled down a hot hitting team today. Nobody his confusing him with Roy Halladay. Wow have these bats gone south. Check the paper for MOST starting pitchers this Opening week......most went 6 IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hometeamfan Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 02:07 PM) Yes a team that has scored 23 runs in two days needs to be bunting in the 4th inning to get the bat into Omar Vizquel and Juan Pierre's hands to drive in the runs over Alexi. That is assine thinking every time. Ozzie lost this game.................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 LOL at the hand-wringing after today. Even if the Sox go on to have a monster season, we'll get to see this same moaning and beetching 61 more times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 02:03 PM) Because he is a six inning pitcher. Today is the prime example of why he is not an ace. He is a really good pitcher but not worth a contract of that magnitude. Sabatthia and Halladay each went 6 innings their first start. Danks was 26th in baseball in IP last year which included playoffs in which he did not participate. Edited April 3, 2011 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
