8/07 Royals @ Boston

Lead off walk and none of our vaunted hitters can even advance the runners. This guy is throwing at least 75% 4 seam fastballs. When our starters throw them, they leavve the park.

This Sox team is not this bad. Our Red Sox have given up.

I could actually see this team finishing under .500. If the SOX were a horse, I'd shoot it.

[fxkatt]

The Pats, a team with not a single bad contract, plays game one pre-season tomorrow night. A good time for a break from this now depressing evening habit.

[jung]

Of the following 4 SOX players, which one do you think will end up with the highest BA? Bogie, Betts, Beni, or JD? I'm going with Beni.

 

Could be Beni if he does not go back to that big stride again. That was obviously the flaw in his swing. But Beni has been here before with a shortened up stride and a more upright posture in the box. The question is will he stay here or will that stride creep out there AGAIN.

I missed the play on Hamilton. Was Bogie slow getting the ball to first or was the play just impossible to make?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JBJ is a 3 tool player. Unfortunately, the 2 tools missing are offensive.

Just an opinion, but I think Billy outran the play.

That is not to suggest that the Sox infield defense has been "crisp" tonight. Their play has been a little soft to be honest.

[TylerD]

Tied. Finally

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX prove they can hit good pitching.

Sparkman ain't no Junis.

Brutal call from the ump penis head

Gardner's umping?

[TylerD]

E Rod At 100 pitches this will be his last inning for sure

[TylerD]

Gardner's umping?

 

Could be! Granted it was just the one call. Hasn’t been horrible I guess.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

E Rod At 100 pitches this will be his last inning for sure

 

E-rod is the Porsche of pitching. Nothing goes from 0-100 faster.

[TylerD]

Agreed.

 

It’s amazing he limited the damage though. He improved as the game went on.

[TylerD]

4-2!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Seth Rogan proves that pro team sports isn't the only profession that suffers mediocrity.

[TylerD]

Don’t blow this pitching.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX broke Sparkman's streak. Prior to this game he had 4 straight starts giving up 5 or more runs.

Glad we could do that for him

[TylerD]

If Hernandez could get a third pitch he would be lethal.

[TylerD]

Ugh. Smh. Here we f***ing go.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Coming up as a pitcher in the SOX farm system won't be doing Darwinzon any favors.

It was his bad luck that he wasn't drafted by Tampa.

[TylerD]

Holy s***. Almost took Holts head off.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice hitting by Holt. I remember when Eddie Stanky managed the White Sox. He never liked YAZ. Told the press that YAZ was dead from the neck up. However, he warned his pitchers never to throw anything close to YAZ's head, because it made him a .400 hitter.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Please inform OB that the SOX aren't going to catch the Yankems, so we don't really need info about their games.
