The Sox look to improve to 3-0 on the season, but they'll be facing A's #1 starter Sonny Gray.

 

Oakland vs. Rodon:

Burns: 1-1 (1.000)

Butler: 0-3 (.000)

Phegley: 1-2, HR, RBI (.500)

Reddick: 1-2, 3 RBI (.500)

Semien: 1-3 (.333)

 

Sox vs. Gray:

Abreu: 2-6, HR, 4 RBI (.333)

Avila: 1-3, RBI (.333)

Cabrera: 2-4 (.500)

Jackson: 4-14, 2 RBI (.286)

 

This game is huge. I’m not confident in Latos for tomorrow anyway, but winning against their ace would give this team major confidence.

I'm curious on Grays health. Wonder if he's 100%.

I'm just hoping that pitching off schedule throws him for a loop. I feel like starting pitchers are so routine-based that a two day delay might f*** with his rhythm.

Nice! No ipad tonight.

 

I had forgotten that WGN games are not longer aired nationally.

Rodon versus Gray should be a fun match up.

I forgot how many ace pitchers Abreu has homered off of.

Kluber, Kershaw, Gray, Price, Verlander, I'm sure I'm missing someone.

Keuchel last year. And if Gray counts, so do Carlos Carrasco and Garrett Richards.

With Avila having back issues in the spring will he play in back to back games?

Good optics.

So I think Avi should sit today.

lol soak it up while we can.

 

It's hard to believe we're the only 2-0 team in the AL

Well to be fair, there are still four undefeated teams that haven't played a second game yet. I'm sure a couple of those teams will go to 2-0 also.

Would be a great game to win, but I think we drop a close one tonight with Gray on the mound. Hope I'm wrong

The thread starter predicts a loss???? I smell a banning if they do lose.

Yep. Give Shuck a start in LF and DH Melky.

Loving these late games (7Pm West coast time is late by my standards since normally games are on at 5, haha). Get home, put kids to sleep, fire up game, and work a bit more with the game on.

I hope we keep it going. Hopefully he's not a 100% and we get to him early and get some runs. Grind ABs is what I wana see from guys. Jackson and Avila do it. Eaton can as well.

Hoping for a repeat of last year, when we knocked him around for 7 runs.

Last 2 nights have been rough, been getting to bed around 12:30-12:45. Tonight wont be any easier as I have David Gilmour tickets. Thank god we have early games the next 2 days.
