4/4 at Twins

[mvp 78]

Those two doubles by Dalbec were beautiful. The kid can really hit to the opposite field.

 

His babip will come around.

[TylerD]

s***** golf = a Red Sox win

 

 

Guess I have to put myself through the wringer tomorrow too

Lol take one for the team.

[TylerD]

It was snowing and in the 30's. Not conducive to high scoring games. But it was an awesome win.

 

True.

[moonslav59]

How about we do 4/4 again?

 

Double header 4/4 + 4/4

[moonslav59]

People see all the K's by Dalbec and fail to recognize that he really has a good eye, walks a lot and gets ahead in the counts, often.

 

Sure, he swing and misses a lot, but he's a keeper.

 

[Bellhorn04]

Also, Arroyo had a heck of a game.

[iortiz]

It's much too early to give MAX the 10th player award, but who knows.

 

Yeah it’s too early but if we stay in the mix by late summer anything can happen and Bloom could make a case.

 

Said that all I ask it’s to be competitive considering we are rebuilding on the cheap.

[Thunder]

Lol take one for the team.

 

At least I'm getting my money's worth!

[moonslav59]

Mad Max Mojo still risin'!

[TylerD]

Maxbia may be doing the game threads for the rest of the season lmao

[Larry Cook]

Good news today: Perez!!!! Did someone give this guy an enema in the offseason that flushed all the crap out of his delivery?

Renfro and dalbec getting hits while it was snowing! How cool is that.

 

Bad news today: verdugo was colder than the outside temperature!

Don't forget the table setter, Arroyo and the pen with 4 shut out innings and 1 hit ball.

Yes. Beautiful

 

Sawamura has looked very good. Ottavino does at times..... but has some control issues

159-3. That should get the SOX in the PO's. Regards, Captain Obvious.

Lol! And then we play 160-2 Dodgers in the World Series

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Someone will be playing the Dodgers in this year's WS. Why not our SOX?

Funny. That scenario would even make the movie THE NATURAL seem like a documentary.

Please don't say pitching because that will ruin my buzz.

[Sox75]

.700 ball

That's 113 wins

I'll grant you 10 give-away wins, and my prediction of 93 wins stands... going away! Walk off!

[moonslav59]

Isn't it great to feel energy and excitement in Springtime?

[Thunder]

How about we keep this up until the dog days?

[moonslav59]

How about we keep this up until the dog days?

 

I'm excited about watching some of our younger players and seeing who can fill some high needs we have going forward.

 

I know some will not pan out, and we will hit some rough patches again, like games 1-3, but I'm going to try hard to stay positive.

[mvp 78]

woof woof!

[TylerD]

Lol. That would make for a once in a life time year that’s for sure.

Or the Braves. Ugh. They were so close to taking out the Dodgers last year

Bad news today: verdugo was colder than the outside temperature!

 

Actually, I think it is the cold weather. He was hitless in his first three games in Boston.

[Maxbialystock]

No question, a lot of early and pleasant surprises: rotation, bullpen, and especially the hitting. Playing for the most part 1 less game than the others, the Sox are 3d in runs scored, 5th in total bases, and a very surprising 6th in HR's.

 

The pitching numbers aren't nearly as good, but the game realities are that the pitching has mostly been there when needed. They gave up 9 in the last game in Baltimore, but the Sox won 14-9. That leadoff double yesterday by the Twins' Buxton put Perez into shock, defined as then giving up an HBP, a walk, two sac flies and two runs. But he recovered and the Twins never scored again thanks to Perez and the bullpen that stunk the game before when they could afford to stink. Monday's postponement probably helped.

 

Yes, it's way, way early. But the simple fact is that a good start is so much better than a bad one. No one knows that better than Sox fans. Here on Talksox I'd say about 99.44% of us did not expect a good start.

 

Except maybe Thunder, who didn't expect a good start, but was just happy to have a new season that is expected to go 162 games, not 60.
