Autumn Dreamin

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.

McKenzie is one of the few (two?) Guards I like, so I hope he can get right.

The slow pan to emphasize Noah being a giant is a nice touch from DVS.

If Schultz and Smith stay on the same throwing schedule, I would suspect they'll be the OD starters for Birmingham and WS respectively.

Wilson's velo is up and he looks much more effective for it.

I think he's throwing a cutter that Statcast is miscategorizing.

Not sure where you're watching, but it's free on both MLBTV and CHSN.

Burke's Statcast report: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/player-scroll/game?gamePk=778863&player_id=680732 14 sliders, all to righties.

I wonder how much teams are strategizing around ABS challenges in spring given that it's not actually in the league yet. Charlotte coaches for it because they play with it for the season, but would MLB staff bother at this point?
