I haven't been able to watch a pitch today but this thread is making me super depressed.

Rollins just can't hit lefty very well now

 

I don't think he has had good swing while hitting lefty.

No matter how many players the Sox change from year to year they still know how to kill a good vibe in a hurry

If you were watching the game you would be even more depressed

If I never see Danks again................. I will be happy

Too many dollar$ make$ that impossible.

Nah, this is the last year of Danks contract. There's no "well what about next year??" anymore; the Sox can drop him out of the rotation no problem. They're gonna pay him anyways.

We know the fans despise him with the exception of a couple of us. So Hahn should please the fans then and turn him into Matt Thornton.

Nah.

 

At the same time, I came into a game thread I knew was going to be a b**** fest just to b**** about the b**** fest so I'm not any better.

Danks has several games like this every year. He also has several quality starts per year. That's why he's a #5.

 

Yet, many folks here seem to think that he's supposed to pitch like Sale just because it's Opening Day.

A dude with a 98 mph fastball?

You don't need to convince Greg. I love him.

No, a lefthanded specialist.

How is Cleveland's bullpen?

According to Hawk Jose Ramirez can just hit after his double in the 1st. Just saw his average was .219 last year.. <_ . garcia must be the greatest hitter out there>

There's quite a gulf between "Chris Sale" and "5 runs in 2 innings".. to be fair Danks has settled down.

 

The problem this offense is going to score more than 5 runs very rarely this year. The Sox are gonna have to win games by holding teams to low scores, not by scoring a lot themselves.

So did you actually expect Danks to out-pitch Salazar today? If not, why is this outcome such as disappointment?

 

Well, I would say this is fun, but then I would be lying

TODD FRAZIER DOES YARD WORK!

Woo

But that was fun

When was the last time it snowed on opening day? What a s***ty day for a ball game.

 

 

the new boards and screen looked nice on that HR! Nice.

The Toddfather cancels the postgame show

Frazier and Abreu will hit some home runs. Nice job, Frazier.
