Didnt hear if he said anything about him. My feed was bad and kept going out. Finally found a different feed that was great but by then he was not in the booth .

CJ Alexander LHH 8 for11 now, hits a bomb off of Avila . George Brett raved about him earlier in the broadcast. Of course Avila grooved him an 0-2 fastball.

I'm starting to wonder if Colas changed his approach with the coaches in the off season work to try to cut down on K's. I mean it's great he's getting a lot of hits and not striking out but haven't seen much power and a lot of ground balls. Hardly ever getting the ball in the air. It's like he was working with Menechino.

Your paid subscription ? because I cant find it anywhere on TV . On the MLB app it says I don't have access to it because I have no subscription Youtube ?

I was one of the biggest proponents of bringing him up last year. I wanted him to get used to RF at home and get a taste of MLB pitching just to be more prepared for this year. However last season sucked and I am not upset that he wasn't subjected to that suckfest. It would appear that at the time the plan might've been to gain the extra year. Despite the good performance so far in ST I wouldn't put it past the Sox to still send him down. Of course if they do not send him down at some point to gain the extra year then people will say that there was no reason not to bring him up last year when they could've used him when they were still close to Cleveland in the standings.

Sox win 5 - 2

Seasonal depression to Valentine's Day to Spring Training, St. Patrick's Day, Opening Day. You understand now ?

Yeah it's just a new face to make familiar to Sox fans and interesting because he is hitting well so it's a ST story. Long way to go. It's like people thinking Burger deserves a roster spot because of 2 early ST HR's . At this point Alberto is more useful than Burger just because his glove works. Sorry Jake learn left field , make yourself tradable.

They were playing a local Taiwanese team Taichung.
