3/31 @ Seattle

[d-money]

Dead arm pitchers?

[Sox75]

Is it true they've held back on pushing the SP in ST?

[Sox75]

Terrible set up on that throw!

[Jasonbay44]

He really isn't awful. He's just not in the same class as the other 3.

He’s pretty damn bad out there.

[d-money]

This is f***ing tough to watch.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

POR's ERA last year was over 4. No reason to believe it won't be over 4 again this year.

[FredLynn]

Yep. Sale threw only nine innings. So you tell me: were they ready to start the season? Cora blew it. You can't get ready throwing nine innings.

[Station 13]

JDM is an embarrassing OF.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's still early. I'm referring to the season, not this game.

[TylerD]

Beyond frustrating series whether it’s esrly or not. All the starters look like trash. E Rod looked the best and that’s really saying something.

 

Also this is not a panic post from me as I know the team will get their s*** together. But as mentioned before. When our starters give up runs in the first 3-4 innings it sucks a lot of momentum out of a game.

[d-money]

Geez porcello at least give us a chance to make a comeback.

I don’t wanna play catch-up. It’s 1-3 with a 4 game series with Oakland coming up.

Let's hope the plan pays off in October, but it sure ,looks bad, now.

[d-money]

Lol this is insane. What a horrific series.

[harmony]

Little cool at my seat in the shade.

 

Otherwise enjoying the game.

It was a stupid strategy IMO.....last year was last year. If you don't give your SPs a chance to pitch in ST then the regular season becomes an extension of ST, except its against ML hitters. This was totally predictable. I think they will come around, but this slow start was avoidable and predictable.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Perhaps the SOX have decided to get in their slump early this year.

What a debacle.

[TylerD]

Let’s hope. It’s not like we are losing close games. Our starters have looked atrocious. It’s a tad concerning. It’s one series and maybe I’m not giving Seattle enough credit. But holy s*** this is ugly. If not for that amazing comeback this could be a total sweep. Not a good one to start the year.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Last year Cora made a lot of questionable moves, but most of them worked. Let's see how successful those moves will be this year.

If the rotation maintains this dubious standard, they can rest in October. This team looks exactly like the one we just saw in spring training, only these count.

[Jasonbay44]

I guess what’s concerning, and good, is almost the whole team is sucking ass.

[Oscars]

Thanks Rick, way to stop the bleeding .

[TylerD]

Being down 6 after three is a lot to ask of any offense

[TylerD]

Bats come through again!

[Jasonbay44]

JD Martinez is still good at baseball

[Oscars]

I guess what’s concerning, and good, is almost the whole team is sucking ass.

 

Yeah the hitting by the majority of the team stinks as well as the batting practice starters

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Jim dandy!

Excluding JDM !
