SouthChicagoBorn Posted Thursday at 10:33 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:33 PM Great game to start the season. My guy Robert started with a double but looked not so good a couple of his ABs. Game was a joy to watch until I started having flashbacks to last year when Leasure did his best to give up the lead before he was taken out. A shutout would have been nice, but 8 runs? And only 1 ER given up? Whoda thunk? Great start to a better season in '25! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted Thursday at 11:51 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 11:51 PM First Sox home win to open the season since 2014.

GreenSox Posted Friday at 12:46 AM Share Posted Friday at 12:46 AM (edited) The pitching should be pretty good this year. Guys like Burke and Martin aren't TOR, but they aren't 5th starters either...more mid-rotation guys with #2 potential. Leasure in the pen is interesting - they haven't hesitated to cut losses on failed prospects, yet he not only sticks on the 40, he sticks on the 26. The coaching staff looks much better. Venable is smart and is not whining about the clubhouse. Lot of smiles and energy from the players. Vargas and Sosa. And cutting bait on failed prospects is refreshing (once one gets over the angst of more waste on failed prospects). All tempered with the reality that the Angels may be worse than us. Or maybe my 63-99 prediction should be reversed. Edited Friday at 12:51 AM by GreenSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think it's the right mix of veterans...reminding the young players with their professionalism that they have to EARN playing time and not just have it simply given to them. In some ways, I hope they send Baldwin back down to the minors when Rojas returns just so he can get regular at-bats. Which means Maton would have the last spot on the team due to his spring training impression/s. Everyone seems to love Maton's personality in the clubhouse, team chemistry is important coming off 121 losses. Moving on from Fletcher and Colas helps too, Steven Wilson, etc. We'll have to wait and see how this Closer Clevinger Experiment works out. So far, so good.

Expand Yeah, I was a bit surprised it wasn't Booser, but it seems like Venable's going to manage "by feel" every single game in the early going and will resist naming an official closer (Clevinger) for as long as possible to keep all the young/inexperienced arms down in that pen feeling like they could be used at any time and in any situation. Bryse Wilson and Vasil seem like the designated "long/swing" guys for now...or spot starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
