4/1 - World Champs @ Oakland A's

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not looking for excuses and it is early, but perhaps not having Sandy behind the plate may prove lethal as the season progresses. Nothing against VAZ, but the SOX aren't getting much more offense than they had with Sandy.

[jung]

That was a nice pitch to get out of the jam.

[TylerD]

Price doing his best to give us a chance. Come on offense. Make a play.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

it’s gonna take a couple of weeks to back in track. This team is still in hangover mode.

 

 

I prefer 'complacent' over 'hangover.'

[Sox75]

The ump missed it and there wasn't enough to overturn it. No luck for the Sox.

 

Come on fellas. We already know they held the SP back in ST.

 

Can we not overthink this?

They will rise, but I BELIEVE it was a mistake.

 

It will be overcome, but mistake it was.

[Tedballgame]

I think after the fantastic season the Sox had last year everyone needs to relax and cut them some slack. They will be fine. To quote Kevin Bacon in Animal House, "All is well".

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Just heard that Bogie got a 6 year extension for 120 million. The 10 better SS's in MLB are licking their lips.

Kevin Bacon?

Nunez is some awful s***. Start Holt.

Same as last year. Eduardo has the vote of Cora for no good reason. Eddie did have a 2 rbi hit yesterday when others couldn't touch the ball in a key situation

[Oscars]

True that about the pitching .

That said we have 5 starters hitting under .239 in today’s lineup

[vegasbob]

Interesting that Keuchel and Kimbrel still haven't found teams willing to pay their price.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nunez is some awful s***. Start Holt.

 

Resting Brock for the playoffs.

[vegasbob]

Price striking out 8 of 13 shows something going right, but overshadowed by the 2 HR's in the face of no offense

Holy CRAP! You can teach an old dirtdog new tricks.

Kevin Bacon WAS IN Animal House....

 

I feel like a new man!

Thanks TeddyBallgame!

[TylerD]

Price dealing! Pitching going strong and the offense is no where to be found.

[vegasbob]

If the offense had scored 3 or more, Price would be getting credit for a great start through 5.

It's early until it isn't.

[TylerD]

It's early until it isn't.

 

Agreed!

 

And unfortunately for me. I have to be up in 8 hours. So I’m off to bed. Hope to wake up to a win tomorrow.

[vegasbob]

JBJr just loves to swing at pitches (on 3-2) that otherwise would hit him. Nothing new here

 

Could have been a lead off walk, but flies out foul to left, having missed a few fastball with fouls

And Vazquez is clueless behind him

Betts gets no result except to have outmaker Beni lead off next inning.

I believe the 2 everyday players on the SOX who have the best shot of duplicating their season from last year are JD and VAZ.

[Oscars]

3/19 out of the lead off spot so far for the Sox .....

[vegasbob]

2 out walks by Price. Play with fire and pitch longer. Turns that walk into another two run homer by Oakland. Wastes an otherwise good outing, now just another POS starter

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

I think Mookie should have taken whatever the RS were offering him.

 

I'm sure Boras is advising him but he should have taken the highest offer from the RS.

[jad]

Well, so much for the first 'quality start' of the season.

[jung]

If you are not throwing your FB rising up out of the zone and then you throw that Change up to the same location you are throwing the FB to, that Change is just leaving.

Ya think?

 

Are you s***ing me?
