April 16, 20169 yr I didn't watch the whole game, but it seemed like Chris almost pitched to contact tonight. Not a ton of deep counts so he was able to keep his pitches down.

April 16, 20169 yr Awesome pitching performance. I'm not sure how much longer we can win games like this.
April 16, 20169 yr Author QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) I am glad they didn't trade or suspend spSale for popping off to KW. Ha, that is what you took away from tonight?
April 16, 20169 yr Sox have the best record in the AL at the moment. I mean, they just need to play .500 ball from here on out and they'd be right in it. 90 wins has to be the goal after this start. Team defense is amazing so far despite the Rollins error tonight. Pitching we know is gonna be good. Offense has an 2005 vibe except not with HR but with contact and good baserunning.

The 2005 team won the opener, the first game after the All Star break, and the clincher all 1-0. They will start hitting, but if Latos isn't a mirage, and they stay healthy, this team is going to be tough.
April 16, 20169 yr I bet Sale was a little extra motivated tonight since he had family at the ballpark.

April 16, 20169 yr I don't want to jinx it, but the timely hitting we've seen so far is reminiscent of 2005.

April 16, 20169 yr Man, this start to the season is refreshing. Sale (knock on wood, there's no such thing as jinxing somebody BTW) is pitching like Verlander when Verlander was dominant. He looks like one of those guys who is gonna win every night he takes the mound. I'm getting to the point I don't hate Melky anymore. It's like he knows he can't hit for power so he's gonna be a new Melky. Didn't have to use Robertson tonight. We didn't blow the 1-0 lead late like we would have last year. Robin looks like he's become a good manager. Keep it up, Sox. It's not easy to win on the road as teams prove every single year. When u hot u hot; let's stay hot!!! Thank you Mr. Hahn for appearing to improve the team; thank u Robin for becoming a good manager. GO SOX!!
April 16, 20169 yr Amazing start to the season, the bats will come around but my god the pitching is incredible. I hope old Latos is back and that dank can just be a 5th starter till reinforcements arrive.
April 16, 20169 yr QUOTE (daggins @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 07:41 PM) Chris wants that CY. He can taste it. Matt Latos already started engraving his name on it, better luck next year Chris!
April 16, 20169 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 08:58 PM) I'm having fun! Fung is winning and winning is fung.
April 16, 20169 yr Is it too early to get legitimately excited about this team? They are already making me feel funny inside. Or is that the scotch?
