Kyyle23 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 QUOTE (Cali @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 06:12 PM) Apparently being a former White Sox player trumps Ability to Speak in Public every time. It's embarrassing for this organization. It isn't "this" organization, it is Comcast. Same thing with every other sport, an ex player has to provide color. The only one really worth his weight is Hollandsworth Edit: actually hockey is good too. Bears Bulls and Sox are bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 07:22 PM) Anything's better than 6-12. 9-9 would seem acceptable after last year's debacle/s. They play 19. I want: Det: 9-10 Min: 13-6 KC and Cle: 11-8 Go 44-32 in the division; 11-9 in interleague; and 34-32 against the AL East and West, and they have a shot at the postseason.

Jake Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I just don't really care if Melton sucks. I'd prefer my bad at broadcasting former players to at least be charming, but in the end it doesn't really bother me. I like Frank on there.

I hopped onto Wikipedia hoping to pull up some other 1-0 Opening Day win that lead to an otherwise abysmal season, but remarkably, this was only the second in the team's history.

The Ultimate Champion Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 06:10 PM) Bill Melton sticking with calling him Chris Sales. Seriously, the best they can do is Melton and Frank? Unbelievable. Farmio was calling him "Sales" all game and I couldn't remember him doing that last year. Maybe Chris changed his last name & forgot to tell us. Or maybe after the contract extension they are pronouncing the dollar sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFirebird Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Had the chance to go today...cold as hell but it was awesome watching Sale pitch. He impresses me more every time I see him pitch. At a young age he already isn't a thrower but a pitcher. He knows when he needs a strikeout, when he can pitch to contact and how to use the count to his advantage. Only time I was worried was when Thornton came in but he looked like Matt from 2-3 years ago. Strong start. Keep it up Wednesday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joxer_Daly Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Delighted with that result. Just watched the last two innings there this morning, so had to be really careful not to accidentally find out the result before I got to do so. Super performance in defence. Yeah, the off day is a bit of a balls, but at least we've our 100% win record to sit on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnCangelosi Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I'm not sure if it was mentioned but what did everyone think of Reed's performance? He's still missing right over the middle of the plate for me too much. I do like his demeanor on the mound however and he seems to have the mentality of a closer, but he's going to have to locate his stuff better.

Getting behind in the count at 93-94-95 MPH will get him killed eventually. Cain swung under one of his fastballs to K, but that pitch was also right out over the heart of the plate, just high. Got away with it....and then there was one pitch that should have been on the corner that ended up center cut and he totally fooled the hitter by accident.

He's not supposed to throw that slider for a strike. He's supposed to throw that slider and have it break sharply down out of the bottom of the zone when the batter is looking for a fastball or when the batter can't lay off of it.

Jake Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 IIRC, many have speculated that we promised Sale that we would put him in the MLB within his first year to start his service clock -- therefore he told all the teams picking above us that he was demanding that stipulation in order to sign. Basically, what other teams do with money, but without money. QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Apr 2, 2013 -> 06:06 AM) I'm not sure if it was mentioned but what did everyone think of Reed's performance?

Buehrle>Wood Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Great game. First opening day in awhile and it was a ton of fun. Props to my boy Flowers. Told you all he will be just fine. And Sale, we have our first superstar in a long while. QUOTE (qwerty @ Apr 2, 2013 -> 11:45 AM) What a lousy amount of posts (44) for an opening day winner thread. What the hell is going on here?

I'd like better location of the slider, but his fastball placement today was fine, and everything goes off that. It was hard to tell, but it looked like he lined up on the left side of the rubber as opposed to the middle, which will allow for his fastball to run a little better while still getting good snap on his slider, especially down and away/in from righties/lefties.
