No. Not a chance.

 

"returning to the mean" is such a foreign concept to some baseball fans, yet every year is like constant examples of it over and over again

Eaton's a good baserunner but not a good base stealer.

Unfortunately it is showing it's ugly head.

Wouldn't be surprised if this game ended at 1am.

At least this time, the throw to get him was about as perfect as you can get.

Yeah, that was a perfect throw. But still Eaton has not been a prolific base stealer in his young career so far, especially considering the speed he has. I love his hustle and his baserunning.

Bad feeling about DeJesus.

Rienzo seems to be hanging a lot of pitches

75% success rate between the minors and majors. Right at the break-even point.

Crap.

3-2 TB

Wow he has nothing on these pitches. Another starter with diminished stuff this year.

Meh keep em at 3 Rienzo

Yep. With his speed, he should get better if he improves his technique.

Yet to some he is a 4th or 5th starter BS!

He's keeping us in the game. That's fine by me. Paulino was dog s*** and Erik didn't look good at all.

It is the 4th inning he is on the dam ropes.

Nice sequence there

You have some high expectations for a 5th starter..

It is the 4th inning he is on the dam ropes.

He got out of it. He's only 26. He's got a helluva curve when he locates it like he just did.

 

f*** it I'm ok with Rienzo. I wanted Rienzo over Paulino.

Hawk and Stone were wondering why he wasn't throwing any curveballs. Then he does and mowed them down.

He has let up 3 runs!! Just needs two scoreless innings to have a good outing. I don't know what you are expecting in a 5th starter.

 

 

Looks like they have about an hour left before the rain delay.

I just don't get the disgust with Rienzo. He's not great, he's not a 1, 2 or 3 but he's adequate. More you can say than Paulino and Johnson.

I am in the Rienzo fan club.

 

It was either Rienzo, Paulino, or Lessman. That is an easy pick. I don't get the b****ing by some how he sucks

I'm not. Should have traded him after opening day, but I imagine no teams were foolish enough.

 

I dont understand why people have this huge problem with De Aza. 7.5 WAR in what amounts to two and a half years as a Sox, and his salary during his time here has been fine value for that. For all the problems we've had around here, you would think people would direct their ire elsewhere. "ohhh but he's lazy/dumb blah blah blah."
