April 19, 201213 yr Dunn looked good. Gordon had a couple of hits. JAKE PEAVY! Hey...3 out of 4 question marks coming through ain't too bad. With every Peavy good start I'm starting to believe more and more. Let's split this thing tomorrow and go 4-3 on the homestand. All in all...that wouldn't be so bad.
April 19, 201213 yr Peavy dominant. Beckham 2 hits, RBI Alexei two great plays Dunn bases-clearing double off a lefty AJ continues to mash Good game. Win tomorrow.
April 19, 201213 yr Beckham 2 hits and one of his outs was a terrible call by the ump on a pitch not close to the plate, doesn't mean anything yet but hopefully this helps get him going.
April 19, 201213 yr Gotta win tomorrow. Gavin needs his A game. By the way, interesting note: There were more people at the Sox opener than the last 3 games combined. Are we gonna compete for last place in the attendance standings this year? I hope it doesn't get too embarrassing.
April 19, 201213 yr We were outdrawn 3 nights in a row by a Royals team that had an epic meltdown against the Indians this past weekend and has been in the process of losing six games in a row (now 3-8).
April 19, 201213 yr Peavy's numbers are just outstanding through his first 3 starts: 2.75 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, .200 BAA, 0.46 HR/9, 9.61 K/9, 0.96 BB/9, 10.5 K:BB. And tonight he was doing it with his fastball topping out at 94 MPH and sitting at 91.4, though it had awesome action in to righties and his breaking balls had that sick bite. He might actually be good if he can somehow refrain from tearing a muscle from the bone.

April 19, 201213 yr AJ belting homers and throwing people out? PED's ?!? Edited April 19, 201213 yr by black jack
April 19, 201213 yr The jakemeister!!!! Heard dj and farmio saying the rios is looking better, that his approach seems better so let's see. Adam with a double off a lefty! And I think de aza could probably hit lower in the order someday

Adam with a double off a lefty! And I think de aza could probably hit lower in the order someday Mitchell's the best candidate we have right now, and he's at least 1 1/2 years away. Encouragingly, he does have 11 walks to go with 17 K's (way too many) in 53 AB's. But similar XB power/pop.
April 19, 201213 yr What the hell is going on with AJ? Offensive juggernaut and throwing people out? He better be careful or the Sox are going to give him an extension. Dunn looked better. That double to the opposite field was awesome. It was funny to see no one out there. One camera angle made it look like the outfield was empty. Shift be damned! What else can be said about Peavy. He has looked great all season, and his last two starts have been dominant. Is he back? Let's hope.

Let's hope. He got a bit lucky on the 2nd CS, because the ball bounced right off the batter and into his hands or the runner would have easily been safe. But the first one was nice. Flowers is 2/2 in throwing out runners. I think combined between the two, better than we did the first three months of 2011.
April 19, 201213 yr And I think de aza could probably hit lower in the order someday The Sox are an AL team. They need to find 8-9 hitters that can get on base, and then we wouldn't have to worry that we're wasting de Aza's power in the 1-spot.
April 19, 201213 yr It really warmed my heart to see Gordo get an RBI single, even if it wasn't hit hard. It also felt good to see Dunn go the other way on a pitch off the plate away. If he can lay off of the breaking ball in, and hit anything away to the other side, that is huge for his season. I haven't been nearly as paniced about Adam this year as he has really worked the counts well. He is 3-2 all of the time it seems like. Last year he was always 0-2/1-2.
April 19, 201213 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 19, 2012 -> 12:12 AM) Clearly Flowers is teaching AJ how to hit homeruns. Maybe a little competition is what AJ needed?

Beckham had some really good swings in that at bat.
