April 14, 201214 yr YIPPY KI YAY MOTHA F*****S So far against 2 of the best lineups in the Tigers & Rangers the Sox pitching has looked good. Gavin battled his behind off today.
April 14, 201214 yr 5-2!!! 4-0 against AL Central 2-0 at home and we could get better offensively...sit Dunn against LHPs and platoon for Beckham. I think Morel and Rios will come around. Pitching..cannot find a single complaint.
April 14, 201214 yr After one week, it's a damn good start against two teams you know should make the playoffs and Cleveland who we have to win against to make the playoffs.
April 14, 201214 yr Floyd with the bend but don't break pitching performance. XB hits all over the diamond...nice swings by Tyler, Paulie and Alexei. DeAza continues to be a threat, although it would be nice if he got his OBP over 300. Great Sox defensive effort this season continues, bullpen with only the blip by Crain against Boesch. Morel showing signs the last 2-3 games. Beckham and Dunn, ugly. But he at least had that RBI double against Balester. Sets up an important chance for Chris Sale to lead the sweep and announce his presence as a rising force in the AL.

Of course, he hasn't had a start against them. But his numbers are promising against detroit.
April 14, 201214 yr QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 14, 2012 -> 05:03 PM) Of course, we will probably melt down against the Twinkees, who suck. completely different year and feel. plus...I doubt Robin has a poster of Gardy in his office like Ozzie did.
April 14, 201214 yr QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Apr 14, 2012 -> 06:10 PM) Is anyone else having 2005 deja vu's? That group of Rios, Beckham, Morel..... I am going to hold back the highest expectations until I get 2 of those 3 guys showing me they can be consistently passable.
April 14, 201214 yr What a great start to the season. It was real nice to see 33K show up to the game as well.

Like I said, and everyone else is saying, good start against some pretty good teams. The problem with the Sox is always playing to the level of suckage of the teams against them. You don't want them biting it against KC, Cleveland and the Twinkees.

April 14, 201214 yr That. Was. AWESOME! Floyd gives up 4-6 runs in the 2nd and/or 6th the last few years. He pitched his rear off! Great pitching, good defense, timely hitting..... me likey!
April 15, 201214 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 14, 2012 -> 06:03 PM) Floyd with the bend but don't break pitching performance. They didn't really hit Floyd much at all. He just didn't want to give them anything to hit, kept the ball down all day, and ended up putting several on through walks and HBP
