2024 Red Sox spring training games

[Van Everyman]

Yorke has a pretty powerful swing.

 

[LogansDad]

Yorke smashed that ball of the CF wall. He had a really nice game today. Couple plays at 2B, turning DP's with Mayer. Hoping for a monster season from him.

 

[LogansDad]

Wow, was an out, but that was a rocket off of Blaze's bat, too.

 

[JM3]

Blaze played 51 games at 3B last year & 65 at 1B. Not like they've given up on him at 3B (59 at 3B & 47 at 1B in '22).

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Do we see Blaze as the DH of the future? We already have first base locked up.

P.S. simultaneous post.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh gosh, I hope that isn't as bad as it looks for Drake.

 

[JM3]

Do we see Blaze as the DH of the future? We already have first base locked up.

Ideally he fits into the Turner role. Back up 1B/3B, DH'able, RHH. We shall see how he looks now that he's prioritizing fitness.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Looking at these guys, I can't find one of them whom I wish Brez had traded for pitching.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Antonius with his second walk. . .

 

[LogansDad]

Mayer sucks. Sell the team.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

How do you become Director of Scouting for a website?

 

[LogansDad]

Fitts relies on command & it's not really there today. The biggest takeaway is he's ticked up his fastball a couple mph, so much more cause for optimism than concern, even if he's pitching poorly today.

That inning was better!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Fitts recovered.

 

[Rovin Romine]

How do you become Director of Scouting for a website?

Marry the sister of the General Manager of that website and lean into nepotism?

 

[LogansDad]

Fitts is great! Don't sell the team!

 

[LogansDad]

Schwellenbach is a Major League name, that's for sure.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Who was that (lined out to left)? OB and whoever talking about everything else.

 

[JM3]

That inning was better!

Yup, not surprising.

JOHANFRAN Garcia

 

[LogansDad]

Gameday says it was one of the Garcia's. Johanfran, I think?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Yup, not surprising.



JOHANFRAN Garcia

Thanks. Never heard of him. Makes you appreciate the job Cora et al have to do sorting all these guys out in ST.

 

[LogansDad]

Nice at bat for Hickey.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Castro was able to dictate that extra base.

Castro was able to dictate that extra base.

Bravo

 

[InsideTheParker]

I don't think it's a good idea to almost completely drop the play by play. It makes it hard to follow, especially with new guys coming in.

 

[JM3]

Thanks. Never heard of him. Makes you appreciate the job Cora et al have to do sorting all these guys out in ST.

He played mostly in FCL last season before being called up to A-Ball toward the end of the season. Top 15-20ish prospect in the system. 19 y/o catcher.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Gameday says it was one of the Garcia's. Johanfran, I think?

Thanks. Who is the “color guy” announcer today?

 

[LogansDad]

Blaze is my binky. I need him to do something good here.

 

[JM3]

Thanks. Who is the “color guy” announcer today?

Lou Merloni, & Ian Cundall from SoxProspects is visiting.

 

[LogansDad]

Blaze sucks. My summer is ruined.

Thanks. Way behind here this spring I am!

 

[JM3]

Thanks. Way behind here this spring I am!

JOHANFRAN is a personal favorite in the MILB forum. 137 wRC+ in FCL last year, very strong arm.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh gosh. Coming back from commercial break immediately to Tom Caron's voice should be illegal. Give us a warning or something.

Harsh but fair

Mass = Gas: The Richard Fitts Story

 

[JM3]

I think that was Antonio Anderson, which is pretty cool.

Like

 

[InsideTheParker]

He's had 89 MLB plate appearances. He is definitely still a prospect.

If Rafaela is on the big-league team all year, is he still a prospect?

 

[LogansDad]

Harsh but fair

Ha. I don't hate the dude, and I love that he genuinely seems to love the game and being around it. His voice is just jarring to me sometimes, especially when I am on headphones so it's, like, RIGHT THERE.

 

[LogansDad]

If Rafaela is on the big-league team all year, is he still a prospect?

No.... but he hasn't been yet. I was just answering the question.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Luis G. Guerrero, the G is for GAS.

 

[LogansDad]

Really wish we had the gun reading for Guerrero.

 

[JM3]

Really wish we had the gun reading for Guerrero.

Feels like the broadcast quality ought to be higher by the year 2024.

KCamp still has some work to do in transitioning to the OF.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Really wish we had the gun reading for Guerrero.

Gun would read wild so far.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Really wish we had the gun reading for Guerrero.

He's eclipsed the century mark a couple of times already, according to the insipid Dave O'Brien.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Isn’t that the game (7 innings?).

 

[LogansDad]

Isn’t that the game (7 innings?).

They are playing the bottom of the 7th regardless.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Get in those extra ABs!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Basehit!

 

[InsideTheParker]

We gotta wear shades!
