    Totally meant to post this on the game day thread. This is what happens when I use a mobile device.

    That's ok, we get the lead runner and are still set up for some DP action.

    Well now I just feel embarrassed!!!! I didn't realize the schedule was like that. Odd thing is, the second you pointed that out I felt like we played the Braves that way last year and I went back and looked and WE DID last June. We played two games at Fenway then went down to Georgia for two more.

    When A.J. Pierzynski is the other teams clean up hitter......you know you have a chance.

    Yeah, I was kinda poking some fun in reference to recent events. We could easily lose this game and take 2 out of 3, but if Porcello can keep us close.....
  6. Hugh2
    I hope it's not a pitching dual....Porcello is bound to give up a 3 run homer in the 6th or 7th after 5-6 scoreless innings.

    I was going to say.....for a moment I thought I WAS in the wrong thread.

    Well to say the team is off to a slow start is to imply we are better than this. If in fact we are and there is room for improvement then I'd say hovering around .500 4% into the season is not even close to being at a stage of panic or concern. We either are what we are, or we are going to get worse/better. Can we expect more from Price? can we expect more from Hanley? can we expect more from Kimbrel? I think so. Can Erod help the rotation? can Smith help the bullpen? can someone like Hembree or Barnes emerge as a legit formidable option in the pen? I think we can expect at least some of these things to materialize and if more do than not.....I think this team will be dangerous. I do think it is worth noting for those who do not know me that I tend to be a very optimistic person. Not exactly a homer, as I'd like to think I also have a very rational side, but I tend to always see the plausible way forward that this team can be successful.

    Shaw doesn't exactly have the quickest bat but he's got a good eye and is a smart kid so he makes up for it so I suspect he will still hold his own when he comes back down to earth at the plate.....and he is going to come back down.

    Between MLB and Milb Hill has averaged 55 1/3 innings over the last 6 years with the highest pitched being 103 and that was 6 years ago. I don't care how good or healthy he is, at 36 he's not going to hold up in a MLB rotation. I'll eat crow if I'm wrong but odds are against Hill and no one can deny that.

    The narrative was this system lacked depth after the top 5 but I'm liking what I'm seeing so far down in A ball. Ockimey is off to a great start with a .316/.451/.632 slash line, leading the system with 5 HR's and is walking as much as he is striking out. Also Chavis has really seemed to turn the corner and seeing the ball much better, his K rate is almost 1/3 of what it was last year and he's batting .356/.415/.567. Also "the other" Basabe has been a surprise in Greenville. On the other side of the ball Lakins, Beeks, Raudes, and Stankiewicz. Many others to list too but these are all guys I've been following so far this year, small sample size but it's nice to see.

    scrolling this forum I can see it's very similar to BDC. You have your old timers, your not so old timers, your stat guys, your non stat guys, the argumentative types, the clueless, the smarties, a few Yankee trolls, some prospect loving folk, some pessimists, and some optimists. I think we are going to fit in just fine here.

    So is this the lunch table where all the transfer students will hang out until we inevitably branch out and make new friends? Nice to see some familiar faces in here.

    Hopefully Eduardo Rodriguez can strengthen up the rotation when he comes back. I always assume young pitchers as talented as him will improve and get better from year to year and he does have the stuff. However I can't help feel a little concerned that there is also a chance that he takes a step back and continues to have issues tipping his pitches. It would be huge for this staff if him and Smith can come back and contribute to the Sox, I believe E-Rod is making his first rehabilitation start on Thursday. I think Price will be fine and Porcello has been very encouraging this year. There is definitely more talent and reasons to be optimistic this year than last year on the pitching, but to date.....it's pretty much stunk.
