Buehrle>Wood Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Might be our toughest series of the season. Hope we don't get swept, that would sure take away the momentum from a great start so far. We do miss Strasburg. Gonzalez, Haren, and Zimmerman will be tough. Gio is 0-4 against all time, so definitely hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 We really need to beat Gio -- need to flex our muscles against lefties when we get them. This is a HUGE chance to make a statement early in the season. A series win in Washington would speak volumes about where we're at so far.

3GamesToLove Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 8, 2013 -> 10:11 AM) Who do we have going for Wednesday? I'll be there. Floyd. Unfortunately I'm busy all three nights of this series--might just catch the last inning or two of Tuesday/Wednesday on my drive home.

LittleHurt05 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Dan Haren has been awful for the last year or so, and he's been very prone to the gopher ball, which is the Sox specialty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I'm busy all three nights of this series--might just catch the last inning or two of Tuesday/Wednesday on my drive home. It seems like I always draw Floyd by default for Sox games, I've seen him more than any other pitcher over the years. That was cool when Floyd didn't kind of suck, but now it's rather annoying. At least I drew Sale last year in Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pettie4sox Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I like our chances to win the series. Could be biased but I just think with Gio being a lefty that he's going to get shelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasttriptotulsa Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Anybody else hate interleague as much as me? We will lose one of Tank, Konerko or Dunn for each of the three games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The designated interleague weeks used to suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 If I recall correctly, our success against Gio has involved surviving him early and then getting some runs after he gets tired. He seems to have improved his fatigue issue lately, but the key will be to get some good at bats early and extend his pitch count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will lose one of Tank, Konerko or Dunn for each of the three games. I absolutely abhor interleague play as well. I can't stand the disadvantages that 1 team has by not having a roster constructed for the other leagues rules. I think that it is especially harmful to an American League team to work wothout the DH for a series. Our pitchers have not held a bat for years in some cases, and I really don't want them wasting time trying to learn how to hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Any team and any pitcher can be beat. All you have to do against the real good ones is play them close and tight with good pitching of your own and of course get one more run than their team.

Cali Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I watched a lot of their games last year, when they Sox weren't playing cause they were (still are) a fun team to watch. I must say I like they're announcing team. Will probably listen to them over Hawk on MLB.TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say I like they're announcing team. Will probably listen to them over Hawk on MLB.TV. I like following them as well, in addition to the Rays (like the way the organization is run, Joe Maddon, and a lot of the players), Angels (Trout fanboy) and Giants (this one goes back to my childhood and has endured for a multitude of reasons). I have evening rehearsals for a musical this summer in June, July and August so I miss a good deal of Sox games. Decided to finally invest in mlb.tv in large part so I could catch the West coast games when I get home. It'll be a good amount of Angels and Giants (including the soothing tones of Jon Miller), plus plenty of Dodgers due to the Scully factor. EDIT: And, yeah, both the Nats' TV and radio crews are pretty decent Edited April 9, 2013 by OsweGo-Go Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
