greg775 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Pathetic game. You give up two runs, you need to win. Oh well, 2-1 in series is nice. Some hitters are really looking lousy/mediocre so far. 2-1 in this series is the best we could be hitting like this. 3 very good starts. If our rotation keeps this up, it will be sad if the hitting lets us down. Defense might be OK this year. As expected, it looks as if catcher will be a black hole offensively. Short and second may not be very good at all (even though Rollins hit that awesome homer last night) and Avi appears to be a possible black hole. I'll take 2-1 on the road so far, but horrible loss tonight because of the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) I understand it was Sonny Gray but he walked four guys too. Just a shame to waste the performance Rodon gave and a bad flashback to last year as far as poor offense. Offense just hasn't looked very good at all in the series so far. Will be very interested to see what happens Thursday. Latos is pitching, expect the A's to score some runs...can the Sox finally score say six or seven and maybe take three of four? Considering they won the first two, getting a split in the series would be a downer, you've got to take the series. We'll see. Also I thought I saw or read somewhere that the Sox hadn't gone 3-0 to start a season since 1992. If that's true, that's unbelievable.

Mark Gray walked some folks (of them a pitch-around of Frazier) but let's not pretend he didn't have top-notch control tonight. As Hawk and Steve mentioned, he was working all 4 quadrants with good accuracy, not to mention he got his curve ball going which resulted in some really ugly swings. Dude pitched a good game by keeping Sox hitters guessing. Avi already looks frustrated...that's not good. He's a DH, surely we can find a pro hitter for a few million that could fill that role much better. Melky needs to get it going. Outside of that, no shame in that loss.

caulfield12 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 At least they have more "professional" hitters in guys like Rollins, Jackson and Avila/Navarro that can give you a battle up there. Didn't really expect it was going to be easy to take 3/4, especially with Gray being their equivalent of Sale. The Sox were pretty fortunate to get the win Tuesday after Jones blew up. Offensively, Cabrera and Garcia are going to be two huge keys. At least Eaton's off to a much better start and seems pretty comfortable in RF. Have made some mistakes already on the base paths but they were able to cover them up the first two. As far as Lip's comments go, I think that was referring to the Cubs also being 3-0 at the beginning of a season. At any rate, since 2006, the best we've done after one month is 2 games over .500 and typically we're 3-5 games under, so .500 or above and nobody (particularly KC) running away with the division is fine. They just can't get buried early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing 3-1 or something like that would mean 2-2 and an OK start, but not that great. 10-15 years ago, winning just one game on the West Coast was cause for celebration. Eventually we started to figure out Seattle (it helped that they started to suck in the mid 2000's), but Oakland and LA have always been the two toughest places for us to win consistently. That said, starting this weekend...we need to finally start taking care of business in the AL Central again. That means 5-10 games over .500 within the division to have a realistic shot at the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
