He owes us a win from that HR robbery.

I will never not love Gavin's HR swing

Giolito left his first ST start today after 1 inning with hamstring tightness. MRI scheduled for tomorrow, but he didn't seem to think it was serious. Even so, seems like he'll have a late start to the season. Bello also starting on the IL for Boston.

Thome and LaRussa both at the game. Sox add on with a Quero single, Teel HR. Teel is a triple short of the cycle.

Tweet embeds aren't working but per Francys Romero, Grandal turned down an offer from the Braves last month and is considering retirement if a better opportunity doesn't come along. https://x.com/francysromeroFR/status/189919495349178786

Oof

Ha, what an ending. 6 straight Ks for Taylor to secure the save, but ABS challenges made him work for the last one. Called strike 3 -> overturned, missed by 0.1" Called strike 3 -> overturned, missed by 0.3" Swinging strike 3 to finally end it Great eye (and/or lucky guesses with little to lose) by the batter, and solid stuff from Taylor to not by fazed by it.

Faust on the keys 🥰

Some uncharacteristic wildness from both big lefties, but ultimately 2IP scoreless for both. Schultz helped out by two GIDP, Smith by a GIDP and a pickoff.

Rojas slides from 2B to SS to replace Amaya, Gonzalez takes over 2B. Veras and DeLoach in for Tauchman and Robert.

On a scouting mission from the Ishbias?

If you would like an alternative way to track who is starting/batting where: https://tjstatsapps-spring-training-lineup.hf.space/ Just select Sox in the dropdown.

Grant Taylor has comically good stuff. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/player-scroll/game?gamePk=779018&player_id=691799

He got rave reviews from instructs if I recall correctly.

He's also a bit of a menace.

Nice, I was hoping they'd get another appearance before heading to the MiLB side.
