No radio for game one? Not even Northeastern?

[Montana Fan]

Color me as someone who is looking forward to seeing which of these guys step up in 2012. None of them are far away and while none project to be big stars they all should contribute this season. And even though I still hold out a glimmer of hope for Bowden, I don't expect him to be with the Sox when they open the season.

SS Iglesias
3B Middlebrooks
C Lavarnway

You know it's spring training when you look to yesterday's B game to justify the excitement you feel when Iglesias gets a hit off a college pitcher.

Yikes. I love following the Sox as much as anyone. But here -- mercy rule, please.

I don't think the mercy rule really applies though. If you are a kid playing for NE, wouldn't you relish the opportunity to play against the pros, even if they beat the crap out of you? Just to say that maybe you got a hit off a Matt Albers, or struck out Sweeney?

[pokey_reese]

Lin showing some pop against college kids!

[SoxScout]

It's 17-0 and the NE kids would be the ones most pissed off if they stopped playing.

Yup, could be -- for the one (or two) guy(s) who get the hit or SO -- and the rest may be tougher than I give them credit for. As for me, I plead guilty by empathic association -- as a teacher who teaches kids at this level and who play BB at this level I just know too many of them not to feel a certain sense of protectiveness. By and large they are a good group -- and still kids in school. But yes -- you have nailed the other side of the coin.

[esaslaw]

This is just a fun afternoon for everybody. Don't obsess over the score.

[Pearl Wilson]

I don't know how much fun poor Matthew Goreham is having.

[SoxScout]

This one was in God's plans, baby!

Adrian Gonzalez

Great start for us, 25-0 win. Feels good to be in game action.

They build a brand new park and can't give us the legit camera angle?

[boxosII]

i hope Youk can make it through the season

[Pearl Wilson]

First glimpse of the new manager was weird.

Francona's already getting on my nerves.

[FelixMantilla]

Fucking Remy can't even be bothered to learn the names of the BC players. Nice effort there Remdog.

[carver]

Jeremy Kapstein in his familiar place behind home, too...Baseball's back!

[rembrat]

NICK PUNTO WOOOOOO

Jerry tried to class himself up by referring to himself as Jeremy.

Meanwhile Jean Yawkey turns around in her grave.

[Nomar813]

The first of many Punto groundouts.

[carver]

Is it crazy for me to think that Aviles is going to be a surprisingly good SS this year? I really do...

[Kilgore A. Trout]

Hmmm, the pro Valentine party line seems pretty effortless from Don and Jerry.

[carver]

Bobby Valentine's skin tone makes George Hamilton look pale by comparison...

[cwright]

I certainly hope you're right. I've always liked Aviles.


The Sox have had some rather harsh criticism of Doubront's work ethic last year. They're obviously sending a message.

[rembrat]

Anyone else getting the black screen of death from mlb.tv?

[Pearl Wilson]

LOL at the George Hamilton comparison... because I thought the same thing.

McClue didn't mince any words about Dubront's not taking conditioning seriously last year.

What are you watching on?

They limit the devices you can watch Spring games on...

My computer. It had been working fine up until a few minutes ago.

Personally, I love the message

[sittingstill]

Did they say anything that I missed about Lin coming out after one AB for Linares?

[ngruz25]

I like how NESN is showing statistics with no context whatsoever. Are those numbers from AAA, AA, A+, college, high school...?

i like your instincts

[Rasputin]

They haven't noticed.

[carver]

What a meatball pitch...

[ngruz25]

Jason Repko fits right in.

[pokey_reese]

Linares sure doesn't look like a CF.

[Pearl Wilson]

SS, I only recall they mentioned that Lin was busy having played in the first game. Why did he even start this one I wonder?

[InsideTheParker]

How exciting for that kid to catch the Ortiz would-be homer. Baseball is fun.

[Rasputin]

Maybe Linares was late to the park or something. Or maybe they wanted to see Lin against a lefty. Who knows?

[genivive]

No mlb.tv?

[rembrat]

No mlb.tv?

I still got nothing. POS.

[Pearl Wilson]

I don't know if that would have gone out but what a thrill for that kid.
