Scott. He's an interesting guy, to me. Struggled really bad last year in A+, but crushed in the Arizona League and was pretty solid in A ball the year before that. I think he is solid depth at catcher, starting in AAA/AA.
Yeah, I hadn't realized he hit .300/.400/.600 in Arizona! I know that's an offensive environment, but wow.
Okay, I've never heard of Sikes.
edit: Phillip Sikes was our 18th rounder out of Texas Christian. He's been flat out great in Rookie ball and then had a good season across both A ball levels last year.

Dermody definitely seems like a guy you'd love to have stashed down in Worcester. Throws strikes and gets some swings and misses. Could be a valuable AAAA guy.
This Red Sox team has way more depth than last year. I continue to be optimistic for the 2023 season.
Upon further evaluation, dermody is someone with good control but zero plus offerings and usually doesn't miss bats, per the boys at SoxProspects. Still, not a bad depth guy. Maybe he's figured something out. If not, no worse for wear.
Stephen Scott initially reminded of Stephen Vogt. Kinda same body types. Both lefties with pop, both catchers with around 800 ops thru age 25 season in the minors. Vogt had a better arm behind the plate.
Mostly, I love spring training to analyze the most miniscule of the minutiae.
Not sure about the "life" part, but it's a long way to the top when you throw 88.
Today's game is at 6:05 against Puerto Rico. It is on NESN but not on MLB.TV. Looks like MLB.TV is not showing any exhibitions against WBC teams.
Baseball is so shitty at this. Here's a concept:
1) Pay one fee.
2) Watch all the games in one place/on one ap.

They got to you my friend. Those are games too. There's no need for a seperate bucket.
One fee. One login. All the games.
I remember when I was a kid. I just turned on channel TV 38 one day after school to watch my favorite cartoons and the Red Sox game was on. Just watched the team and fell in love. I know NESN must be real profitable, but you think they throw a few weekend games on OTA networks for young fans to discover this great game like I did. Not every family can afford cable or streams.
It isn't. Finding a way to break into their algorithms is the path to young fans "discovering" the game. Which is probably why every team has accounts on every social media platform there is.
Walter with 2 scoreless IP but then starting to lose it a bit in the 3rd, going walk, double, walk.
Then he even walks Kike to load the bases, so that's it for him.
Walter doesn't walk many when he's right. I wonder if he got tired, or got rattled.

I thought Cora might be throwing the game. Happy to see otherwise. Kwiatatowski (Huh? how do you spell it?) got a DP.
That double of the wall by Baez=---how many ballparks does that go out?

I guess Cora is throwing the game. (Ort is pitching.)
Game remains unthrown, Ort & Co. got out of it.
