Jose Abreu

46 pitches for Hughes through two innings.

Sometimes Eaton looks like he's not even looking. He just goes up there and flails at the ball.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 01:45 PM) I'll take Flowers striking out, does anyone want to take any other outcome? Yes.

Flowers can hit!

DE AZA STOP IT

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 01:31 PM) Each fan in the stands should take a turn every half inning. They'd run out of fans after the 5th

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 01:25 PM) 1st walk of the year. He walked all the time in ST. Or at least when I watched.

Another walk for Eaton

This looks even emptier than yesterday.

Quintana keeps doing this weird arm-stretch thing right after Flowers catches the ball

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 01:02 PM) What I should have said was "from Opening Day." I just think you should leave Semien at one position (2B) and that Garcia should be the one you move around between 3B/SS/2B interchangeably. He hasn't gotten a hit yet this season, it would be nice if he could get comfortable in one place instead of having to also focus on changing positions defensively. I see your point, but I'm not sure if Leury can play 3B. Leury Garcia Career: Position/Games 2B/22 SS/7 CF/6 3B/6 So I guess he can, but it seems like he's more of a 2B/SS/CF- much like Alexei.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 01:00 PM) WGN America game, for all of you out of towners! I know. It's nice to be able to watch on a real TV and not a laggy iPad.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 12:44 PM) Why are they moving Semien around already? I can understand with L.Garcia, he's not an integral piece of the long-term plan at this point, but I don't know why they're seemingly content with turning Semien into a utility guy. Just increasing his versatility before Beckham returns? Still don't get that, because he should be in Charlotte playing everyday at either SS or 2B, one or the other. Probably 2B, with Carlos Sanchez at SS. They didn't move Semien around. He played 3B yesterday.

Dunn batting right after Abreu again? Why, Robin? Do you really want more IBBs for Jose whenever we have [a] runner on with first base open?

-Alexei needs to hit #2 -Leury is a good bunter, perfect superutility/pinch-bunter/pinch-runner guy -Stop walking Abreu -Dunn actually came through in the 8th with that HR

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 05:28 PM) Alexei should be hitting second tomorrow.

Abreu had 2 IBBs

what did eaton do

De Aza is hitting very well. 2 on 1 out

Nice Avisail

Dan Hayes estimates about 15k in attendance.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 11:01 AM) BMO Park sounds fine. BMO Ballpark sounds better.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 09:20 PM) Couldn't be worse than Quintana That's true. Didn't he set the MLB record for most no decisions or something?

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 06:00 PM) Not having an established closer may kill any chance for Sale. I was glad yesterday that the pen was able to finish off his start. Me too. Feel like he'll be robbed of several W's this season (nothing new there).

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 05:17 AM) I know it's sounds repetitive but man is Abreu is definetly the most polished,mature Cuban hitter in the bigs and he's only played 1 MLB game. The guy is just smart with his pitch selection and has a good eye.oh and he absolutely crushes the ball even when he hits it off the end of the bat.should be fun to see him for the next few years. I know. But he's already 27.
