toasty Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 good win, but sad to see the offense struggle a bit after the 1st inning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Great job by Contreras tonight to make the Thome blast hold up. Pitching and Defense are WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY better than last season and we're getting just enough O to get it done. GIMMIE A HELL YEAH!!!!

Balta1701 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 The last time through our rotation, our whole pitching staff has an ERA of 0.8, and our Starters have an ERA of .74. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesox Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 good game, would've liked to see more O' figuring who was throwing against us who pitches tomorrow, floyd? it'll be nice to see him face a lineup other than detroit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Once again Sox get ahead early and have great pitching and mostly great defense. Jenks pretty much looking unhittable against a bad Baltimore lineup. No reason the Sox shouldn't continue to beat this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_genius Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 It does suck that we only scored in the first inning. But I really like to see the sox win these low scoring games. It means so much to be able to hold a fairly small lead for 8 innings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 17, 2008 -> 01:37 AM) Just a nice solid win. Starter goes 7, hand it over to the big boys in the pen, call it a night. It's so nice to feel comfortable with a lead when the pen comes in. Gotta love games that are decided before an out is retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankensteiner Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Great game by Jose. I thought it was pretty crazy to suggest Jose be released/replaced in the rotation a few games back. I don't think he'll have a great season but he's as likely to be a competent #3 starter as anybody else in our system (this includes Danks & Floyd). A great game by Thome as well, which might be an even bigger positive than Jose's performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 That is now 4 ER in the last 46 IP for a team ERA of 0.78 over that span. WOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I really like to see the sox win these low scoring games. It means so much to be able to hold a fairly small lead for 8 innings I'm liking the versatility the Sox are showing in winning ballgames. Besides, I luv watching and winning 1 - 0, the '05 World Series proved they're the best types of games to win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to complain with those results but there's some things that can be improved upon. Crede is coming back down to earth a little bit (which is to be expected). Thome, Konerko, and Quentin need to pick it up. I like Quentin getting on base but I'd also like to see him hit a little bit better than he has now (HR yesterday notwithstanding). Thome hopefully gets going after today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanne Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 16, 2008 -> 07:48 PM) love this team Absolutely. When I look at this team on paper...it's as good as any in the AL IMO. Obviously pitching is what's going to make or break this team and so far I think the positive attitude has rubbed off on this staff. I don't want to sound like a broken record...and I am very high on this team...but I'd be "more" high if Ozzie would sit Uribe's ass ever now and again. It's ridiculous.....
