Teoscar swung 3-0, also. I guess desperate times call for desperate measures.

Tyler Glasnow has been in the league for 9 years, and he's only amassed 13.7 fWAR and 8.8 bWAR. crazy

Oh, of course. I mean, the Dodgers only put 2 of their future Hall-of-Famers in the lineup today. Andrew Vaughn may someday get his number retired by his high school if he keeps up the alumni dues.

Sure, the team who signed every single free agent pitcher available this offseason is going to shut down an offense. Weird how a "laughingstock" is getting this reaction from the World Champs. They must have thought today would be easier.

bringing in relievers for specific matchups... in spring training? Are the Dodgers actually trying to win? They're probably looking at the Badres getting walloped by Royals' minor leaguers, and want to separate themselves from that nonsense. Freddie Freeman swinging on 3-0, Dodgers throwing their helmets...they seem really frustrated by half a Sox lineup.

The SoxMachine schedule indicates it's on MLBtv, but I don't see the yellow "free game" tag on the game score header on MLB.com. It also says there's a radio webcast. White Sox 2025 spring training broadcast, MLB.TV schedule

I kind of hate that, myself.

Apparently, CWS minor leaguers are more Darvish's speed, at this point.

C- Quero, Teel 1B: Elko 2B: Meidroth SS: Montgomery 3B: Ramos OF: Veras, Gray, DeLoach, Tatum, Mitchell, Julks P: Adams, Eder, Nastrini, White, Pallette That is SO much more interesting than the lineups that the Knights rolled out a few years ago. Thank you, Mike Shirley!

That's already been well established.

What prediction would that be?

Just spit-ballin' here. These are the spots I think are pretty much locks at this point. 4 rotation spots with the 5th coming from Smith, Wilson or Gilbert. The middle infield is wide open, and they probably need a LF for a few weeks until Benny's ready. That all said, they have 5 bullpen spots and 5 position players to fill. They probably top out at 3 lefties in the bullpen, so it's really between Ellard and Eisert for a bullpen spot. Varland, Leasure and Murfee are on the 40-man, so unless any of them get continuously lit up, I think they make the team. If they go with 3 lefties in the pen, that leaves one spot between Clevenger, S. Wilson, Karinchak and J. Anderson. On the position side, Sosa and Vargas are out of options, so they have to make the team or be moved. LF looks to be a battle between Fletcher and Colas, with DeLoach and Mitchell needing to play out of their heads to be added to the 40-man. The means 2-4 slots get filled from that IF group. Rojas is most probably going to make the team. If Drury is hitting, he makes it, too. That leaves shortstop to be filled by Monty, Amaya, Baldwin or Meidroth. Maybe they use Drury as a backup in the corner OF spots and pick two of those 4 just listed. This is all done assuming Robert doesn't get traded, and Ramos, Benintendi, Thorpe and maybe even Taylor open the season on the IL. Taylor starting in LF would be the weakest option, IMO. Rot- Cannon, Martin, Perez*, Burke BP- S. Smith, Booser*, B. Wilson, T. Gilbert* Bench- Sosa, Slater, Thaiss C- Lee 1B- Vaughn 2B- 3B- Vargas SS- LF- CF- Robert RF- Tauchman* DH- RHBP (5)- Clevenger, Varland, Leasure, Murfee, S. Wilson, J. Anderson, Karinchak, Altavilla, Iriarte, Nastrini, W. Gonzalez LHBP (5)- Ellard*, Eisert*, Shuster*, McGough*, Schoenle*, Eder* MI (2)- Rojas, Amaya, Baldwin#, Meidroth*, Drury, C. Montgomery*, Gray*, Bergolla*, Ramos OF (2)- Fletcher*, Colas*, Julks, DeLoach*, Mitchell*, Taylor

Tyler Glasnow going for the Dodgers. Baldwin/Amaya the double play combo vs. yesterday's Sosa/Meidroth.

Once Thorpe returns, they're set, and nothing opens up (beyond injury or double headers) until Martin Perez is moved in July.

I want it to be Shane Smith, but I think Nastrini and Gilbert, in that order.

I'm not sure why. They should be playing better than .500 ball by 2027.

The Sox aren't trying to prove anything, you are. And you're not doing very good at it. The Sox aren't going to be a good team this year. It stands to reason that a rebuilding team won't win a lot of games in the regular season or spring training. Do they give out Nobel Peace Prizes for discoveries that profound?

Who's talking about the Dodgers? I'm not concerned about the Sox' record, either. It's spring training. But if you think the Sox record is meaningful, then it's meaningful that the Badres have scored less runs than the Sox in more games. Pick.
