Leonard Zelig Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 11:36 PM) What paper are you talking about. Ventura is 1-1 with a 4.76 ERA versus the sox. Try facts they work better than your paper. Samardzija is 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA vs. KC. So if that's what you're going by, he might be right.

SCCWS Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 4, 2015 -> 06:50 AM) Samardzija is 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA vs. KC. So if that's what you're going by, he might be right. However if you are going by his 15 straight scoreless innings on opening day, he may be wrong. However if you are going by his awful ST performance, he may be right. However if you are going by a coin toss for him over Q, you probably found the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I'd probably enjoy the whole 10 year anniversary thing a lot more if they actually didn't suck so much over the last 10 years. I'll let it go.

greg775 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 If the Sox win 2 of 3 against KC, I'll start believing. If the Sox win 1 of 3 against KC, I will try not to get mad. Somebody remind me I said this if we go 1-2. If the Sox get swept, it will be very annoying and the only reason I might not freak out is because the Royals did reach the World Series. Right now would I take 1-2 if it was offered to me as a certainty? Probably not. I'd want to play it out and see if the Sox can scratch out 2 of 3. That said ... will any of you absolutely freak out if Sox go 0-3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's realistic to want the Sox to go 10-9 in the season series against the Royals, Tigers, and Indians, starting out 0-3 would not be good. Freaked out? No. But nobody wants to start with a deficit that needs to be made up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said ... will any of you absolutely freak out if Sox go 0-3? 0-3 I'd be a little worried but that's because this team needs a fast start with so many divisional games early. However, I wouldn't change my judgment on the team over one series (unless we get outscored/outscore them by like 30 runs), especially over a small difference like 2-1 and 1-2.

Making judgements for an entire season based on the first three games of the season is only slightly more of an overreaction than putting too much faith into the spring training.
