They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link).

Josh Smith’s new nickname is “TBA” Yeah I had forgot who Josh Smith was until I looked him up. He was the free agent the Sox got from Oakland last year. Now the fifth spot in the rotation is also lacking quality at the fifth spot. I guess every team could say that, but this was the Sox strength heading into the year. The Sox are staying away from Shawaryn for the time being. |

Shawaryn needs more time in AAA. Right now the difference between he and Smith isn’t worth interrupting his development IMO. Glad we went with Smith tonight. Hopefully he can just keep us in the game and the bats will pick him up.

Hopefully he can just keep us in the game and the bats will pick him up. Hernandez hasn't sniffed AAA yet, but he got in a cpl innings few days back. Shawaryn will have to be put on the 40 man after this year regardless if am not mistaken and IMO.. He's the best available to take the ball for the game tonight who is rested up. Team is falling behind and really think should go with best available option. |

I’m a little surprised they haven’t called tonight yet. Doing everything they can to wait and see, I guess, because the next week’s forecast is looking awful.

Sox have had 2 lucky rainouts the past week. Tired bullpen for one rainout and now we don't have to see Josh Smith start because of the other rain out. No offense to Josh Smith, but that's not a optimal guy to be starting in the first place.

While Boston is supposed to get a lot of rain in the next couple of weeks..according to weather.com there's a 0% chance of it raining tonight. |

Chavis' arm looks strong turning that dp, he's been handling everything at second base in his first few games there with no issues. Like what I see.

Thing I like about Chavis that doesn’t appear to be part of his long term record is his patience. He seems to make pitchers work a bit, at least thus far. Has anyone made an Uggla comp yet?

Price made some nice pitches in the 4th, one mistake. A lot of pitches though. He won't last long.
Sox need to get to Morton at some point.

Devers, you can't get picked off on the bases there. Double play, out of the inning.

agggg Devers wtf... but, another 0 - 2 to a walk for Chavis, his at bats are crazy impressive especially laying off sliders/curveballs out of the zone
and Pearce continues to look really bad.

were concerns about Chavis' defense overstated? SSS but he looks absolutely fine on everything hit to him so far; even on turning double plays and other things second baseman have to do.

I mean, the Sox are making Morton's job a lot easier by hitting everything in the ground and chasing a lot of bad pitches. This is painful.

What is with Betts getting in only 1 or 2 swing per at bat this year?

so we always hit into a lot of dps but its not as acceptable when we are't getting on base as much
