ChiSox59 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Series split @ Houston is nothing but a W. Yoan is hitting and Yaz has a pulse. Clevinger looked good. Cease looked like a Cy candidate and Lucas was solid. Pen and situational hitting needs work, but that’s a start all of us should be pleased with. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I think if you offered us a split in Houston, everyone would have taken this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Series split was huge, would have taken that 10/10 times if you offered it to me. Some positives and some things that still need major improvement (hitting with RISP/bases loaded, bullpen, taking some pitches) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) Good series. Starting pitching good. Usually Houston can blow us out. But caveat for the depleted 'Stros lineup. Good hitting. BABIP has to be sky high. RISP hitting not good. Defense very good with Robert. ALso his double and HR ! Some HR's from non catchers was good. Timmy clutch hit. Colas 2 hits. Grandal 3 hits and a BB Vaughn 2 hits Moncada awesome ! 2 doubles and HR. Still have to take a lot more pitches. Timmy Great series !

Highland Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Much better start than I dreamed of. Actually, I think the Sox should have won three of four. Last year was so disappointing for Robert because of the injuries. The guy has Willie Mays type of talent. Just having a healthy Robert in center field improves this team. All he did this weekend was save runs. If he gets his hitting together, he is a MVP type of player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35thstreetswarm Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Would have loved to win 3 but this team looks really balanced and really good. I’m pleased. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kids Can Play Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 My thoughts from the season opening series: Great split against the defending World Series champions and one of the best ML teams in baseball on the road. Much more patience and growth today from Robert at the plate. Moncada is simply crushing it! Maybe he needs to be at the three spot. As I suggested in a previous post before the season, the no shifting in 2023 is going to help Grandal a lot this year in getting more hits. Colas is going to contend for Rookie of the year. Once he learns to hold off on all the breaking pitches, he will be a beast. All four starters were solid. Cease looks like his sights are set on winning the Cy Young and not coming close. If we had a good bullpen we could have gone 4-0. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Nice to see bats finally coming through at the end of the game. Outhitting the opposition and losing would have been so on-brand for 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many frustrating things about this series, and we still came away with a split. That’s huge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie4Pres Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Moncada blasting a couple of opposite field homers bodes well for this season. Robert and Moncada being the stars they should be, puts this team in a really good spot. Their OF defense is great. Starting pitching is solid. Bullpen gets sorted out and situational hitting improves, and look out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
