Danks needs to have a good start today.

I feel like every pitch Danks has thrown so far has been letter-high.

He's toast. Wish they would just pay his freight out of town. He had what, the 3rd worst qualified FIP in MLB last year? His FIP over his last 200 innings is 4.9.

 

Injuries to shoulders really suck for pitchers. It's impressive he even came back from the capsule surgery and is still in MLB. John Santana I don't think has thrown even 100 MLB innings since his.

I really hope I never see that in the regular season. Heartburn inducing.

Bonifacio has been all sorts of awful in the field/at the plate so far this spring.

What happened?

 

Eaton fake hustled his way to an out with Jose up. Passed ball Eaton went to 3rd and made a huge ass turn and got cut down.

We've certainly got a lot of "hawkisms" already this spring. We've got:

 

1) Bo Jackson's 1 iron

2) fast baserunners stress pitchers more than home runs

3) baseball is the only sport where offense doesn't control the ball

 

surely I've missed some as well. I'm so f***ing tired of him it's going to be a long season. And as I ALWAYS SAY -- Hawk is a legend, a boyhood treasure -- but put him out to pasture please.

Uh, did Hawk just say Gordon in the best utility guy in MLB? LOL.

He's definitely doddering at this point, but I still love him.

Did he really?

 

This season will be watched on mute.

He said Saturday that Alexei Ramirez in 2014 had the best defensive season by a shortstop he had ever seen. I am not exaggerating or misquoting. Those were his words.

 

I'm with you - when he retires I will enjoy watching Sox games a lot more. I wish he could just call the ***ing game without giving us his thesis about the state of baseball as we know it every two innings. No other announcer does that. The closest is Jeff Van Gundy and he's annoying as hell too.

3 Sox hitters have been hit by a pitch today.

Where's CQ and AJ when u need them?

Wow Gordon turned on a ball.

 

Who is this pitcher he's throwing meatballs. I honestly think I could have done something with that one. Right down the middle belt high changeup Flowers takes it out of the park in that nice light air.

So did Flowers. I think I am dreaming.

Lol Danks literally throws behind Adames

The pitching and defense continues to be awful. Sox have the highest ERA in the AL this spring.

Melky having a nightmare inning. But I thought we were suppose to have the best defensive outfield in baseball this season Hawk?

I thought they got rid of Viciedo?

Eh, I don't want to make excuses for any pro player but on March 23rd in the 5th inning on a high sky day isn't exactly the most ideal circumstances to try and stay sharp. These guys are ready for real games and it's hard to keep that edge through 25+ spring games.

Melky doing his best Carlos Lee in the 5th.

With Melky/Avi/Gillaspie/Johnson likely starting, it has the makings of a mediocre defense. Just have to hope those guys hit enough to overcome their defense.
