Jose Abreu Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 5 saves in 9 games for Robertson. 4 game win streak. Wonderful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I don't think we could have asked for a better start. Only one poor start out of 9 so far. Offense has been doing just enough. What a great first week and a half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shysocks Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Sox bullpen now carrying a 0.90 ERA, best in baseball. Cubs at 0.93 have a chance to move back in front tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 This feels awesome. Sweeps are fairly uncommon anyway, but I would have bet soxtalk would have put a 5% or less chance of the sox sweeping the twins to put them at 0-9 during their home opening series. They are defying our expectation in a good way. Let's keep this up. This is the kind of pitching staff I felt like we had, and they are showing it to us.

BigEdWalsh Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 How about Mat Latos?! Wow. He has been GOOD thus far. Keep it up, buddy!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanne Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 yeah...this is fun. Pitching has just been ridiculous and it's nice have a real live 3B!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 The best part is, following Latos, the man pitching to preserve the winning streak is NOT John Danks, but rather, Chris Sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good ol smoke and mirrors show so far. He did get the fastball up to around 92 today, so that's really encouraging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Huge sweep! 4-1 in the division now. Great start. Latos healthy and pitching well. Defense was good today made some huge plays. Couple mishaps but that's baseball. Frazier with a great play to seal it! Nice play earlier to get Rosario out on a dumb base running play. Avi starting to hit the ball...and to another planet.

greg775 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) The Avi haters need to admit he's not done yet. Like he said on postgame if he can learn to swing at strikes he still might have a career. What a great play by Frazier. The pitching is great again. Nice to see Robertson pouring strikes in there. Suddenly Robin looks like a great manager. No problem winning in Minnesota's ballpark this time. That's what happens when players perform. It's great to have a nice first two weeks. The alternative is what's going on in Minnesota and it just sucks to have a record like that. Edited April 14, 2016 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 They said on post game, in first place for 8 days, more than last three seasons combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasttriptotulsa Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Nice sweep. Now onto Tampa. We're missing Archer and the Sox are trotting out two of their horses in Sale and Quintana. No reason to think we can't win two of three. Coming back home to face a poor Angels team at 9-3 would be sweet. Maybe Danks shows up in game 2 and we can sweep another one.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Nice to see Melky heat up after being bounced between 2 hole and 5th spot. Also really excited about that 3rd run. As simple as it was, we haven't done that well lately. Nice to see good fundamental baseball. Edited April 14, 2016 by SouthSideSale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 The Rays offense is only slightly better than the Twins right now. I'm expecting Sale to DOMINATE tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautox Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Latos pitched well today his Four-seam Fastball was sitting right around 92 and got up and nearly hit 94; Great sign. Avi and his metrics moving in the right direction. Glad to see Todd throwing some leather. Sox are 7-2!!! and Swept the Twins glad we didn't cave and give them their first win.
