April 23, 20169 yr Thought for sure that was a DP ball to Beltre. Maybe Jose can get off the schneid now?
April 23, 20169 yr Great game. Worst part about hawk only doing road games is he won't call any more walkoffs for us
April 23, 20169 yr Author And for the record, in addition to the 11 hits, the Sox got 7 BB's, 2 HBP's for a total of 20 base runners.

April 23, 20169 yr That was a really weird game. Good to come out on top as always. That'll guarantee a winning homestand. Hopefully Latos continues with his smokes and mirrors show tomorrow.

April 23, 20169 yr Huge win for us! Obviously some frustrating moments, but the team stuck with it and was able to overcome their mistakes.

April 23, 20169 yr QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 05:14 PM) Yeah, everyone is staying home to enjoy the telecast without Hawk. And enjoy it, we do! And never come back. Edited April 23, 20169 yr by AustinIllini
April 23, 20169 yr Pitching, pitching and more pitching and a tiny bit of hitting. Defense has been the difference in a lot off these games.
April 23, 20169 yr QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 05:11 PM) Good win! Is our attendance problem that bad? There's no one there It's pretty chilly down there
April 23, 20169 yr The box says the attendance was over 20, 000 today. If most of the seats were empty they must simply be counting tickets sold. Now to the game itself. After the Sox took the lead in the eighth inning you hoped they could close it out. But the offense is so bad they simply aren't giving the pitchers any room for error. And it's unrealistic to think they could go an entire season without coughing it up once in awhile. Wasn't able to see the game so I don't know if the Sox were being aggressive on the bases trying to force the Rangers into making plays (which they did) or if it was simply stupid base running. Someone will have to let me know on that one. Sox actually had double digit hits and multiple base runners which is very good. Garcia is getting worse daily it appears, box today said he left more guys on base. With Ventura saying they have no plans to send him down, that's a bad sign to me. How can you not do so right now? And if there aren't any better options in the minor league system what does that say about the system if you can't replace a guy hitting what, .150? (Even for a short time...) Glad to get the win though. Mark
April 23, 20169 yr There was about 20k there today. They don't stay at baseball games in extra innings and many moved to the sunny part where it actually was warm. I did find out from a guy sitting behind me before the last AB, Jose Abreu had no business being on a major league field and he also sai David Robertson is too scared to be a closer.
April 23, 20169 yr The stadium was night and day. Every single seat taken in the sun and not one in the shade basically. Attendance still sucks though, yeah.
April 23, 20169 yr Even though it didn't show up on the scoreboard, they hit the ball pretty sharply today. The first thing you see is the runs, but an inch or two here or there and it could have been several more.
