Grand Slam? Wishful Thinking?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 22, 2016 -> 03:36 PM) Time to stop worrying, griping and crying about what might have been and what we wish had happened Thank you.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 22, 2016 -> 03:35 PM) Got to score this inning. Yeah, it's time to start getting these guys in.

Some good at bats here from Avila and Jackson. Good to see them not swinging at bad pitches.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 22, 2016 -> 03:20 PM) You're right. Everyone is terrible and should be fired. I'm out fellas. Can't ruin my Sunday on this board. Not sure when it turned so bitter and stupid. Used to be the best place on the internet. Everybody just b****es about how bad the team is, like a bunch of high school girls gossiping.

I would like to see some strategy here. Hit the ball to the right side, move him over then get him in

THERE WE GO! Let's ride this inning out. This is what fires teams up.

There's that homer I was talking about. Now maybe some of you will quit your b****ing

Would be nice if Rodon could just throw a nice, simple 1-2-3 10 to 12 pitch inning

QUOTE (fathom @ May 22, 2016 -> 02:51 PM) Relying on Melky and Eaton for power is a recipe for failure. Relying on Sands to hit bombs vs a power righty is laughable. This team hasn't hit a homer on this home stand. Not saying they should rely on them...all I said was it would be nice to see a homerun from someone in the lineup today.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 22, 2016 -> 02:49 PM) Rodon just can't seem to put guys away when needed. He us allowing too many runners and if not carefulvwill pay Yeah, either he's always behind in the count, or if he's ahead it seems he has trouble making "that one pitch" more often than not.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 22, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) Other than Frazier who's gonna hit a HR? Take a look at this group were sending out today, theres no power. Melky. Sands has some power. Eaton has some power. Lawrie has known to crush one every once in a while. There are more people in this lineup who can hit a bomb than Frazier.

It would be nice seeing a multi-run homer by the Sox in this game, or a couple solo shots.

They have got to get Ventura now before he starts to settle in. They need to be patient early, especially seeing Ventura was a little erratic in the 1st.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 22, 2016 -> 02:35 PM) This dead ass team could use a brawl. Honestly it would probably be good for them.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 22, 2016 -> 02:30 PM) I'm guessing he strikes him out Possibly/probably. But I wonder if there is some lingering revengeful feelings after what happened with Lawrie with the A's last year when they played KC. Could play out here in this game. Probably not going to happen, but it is possible.

Will be interesting to see how Ventura approaches Lawrie. Those two have a history with each other...

There is a lot surrounding the Sox right now questioning their actual ability to play winning baseball. I think the team we saw in April and the first week or so of May is the real team. It's a long season. They are in a funk right now (just like every team in the league experiences at some point in the season), but they will get out of it soon, as soon as some key players start getting hot with the bat. Remember, they are still in 1st place. Time to start a nice winning streak and put some distance between KC and CLE and DET. Lets go boys!

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 18, 2016 -> 10:36 PM) This is frustrating. Extremely. Starting to feel like 2015 a bit. No bueno

Hey he hit a curve!

Here comes the curve low and away

Nevermind

Would like to see Rollins bunt it

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 18, 2016 -> 10:24 PM) Umpire gave a strike to Fister when there was a ball, should have been walked They need to hit the ball. Calls aren't going their way, they need to make something happen. Can't wait for it to happen to them.

Hopefully the to of the order can get the job done.
