Ramos ties it up but terrible slide into second base.

Dal bec won't join Fisk and Chris Sale in Red/White Sox club. Julks one out double off LCF wall.

Braden guns down a runner on the base paths.

Gilbert Tyler in...no hit 2021 Padres as a DBack.

6 subs in for SD Sheets in lf Cease working on changeup/off speed stuff k's Gallo who appeals and loses Cease celebrates mockingly. 2/20

Cannon 11.25 era now on the spring. Fletcher Lipcius Gallo all under 150. oof.

Merrill third bomb of spring CHANGE left up in the zone blasted. 433 feet. 7 hits CH pulled down RF line on the chalk 7 hits 4 Xb hits. Hanging breaking ball to the wall runner advances on Gallo. Gurriel drills single up middle. tie game Almost another Heyward double down RF line...grounds out to Maton.

yep looks good. Baldwin blown away by high heated Tried to bunt at Machado...who's almost at SS playing dead pull.

Bergolla almost made a great play. ..Lipcius couldnt corral wild throw. Tatis Ks on another sweeper. Cannon still hasn't had a good outing in spring. 5 hits. Maton with well hit liner to LCF. Run down by Merrill.

Bogaerts rips a double down lf line. Gurriel now 40. Ks first out on sweeper. Bergolla no name on his jersey lol. Heyward broken bat flare to CF scores runner. Maldy still hitless for spring.

224 k's and 200 ip per season really sucks lol. Sosa another ball to RF can of corn.

Mitchell flares a backup slider to RCF. 4-0 Cease pulled with over 40 pitches. Might return next frame.

Maton smoked one to RF through Cronenworth. Baldwin pulled a double down REALLY line in the air kept it fair. Sac fly to Heyward good catch. Gallo walked. Bergolla ripped a two run triple on FB to RF foul pole. Bergolla 4/9 just 20. Last ten years worst team in baseball averaged 56-106 like KC two years ago.

Array looking single and Tatis ground Rule double to RF. Merrill to Lipcius...Arraez didn't leave from third. Machado fouled out to Lipcius. Pop up to LCF Gallo...no runs scored.

Cease at 97 in first inning. Teel with a soft liner to CF...at least Sosa made solid contact to RF. 3 up 3 down

Cease has a full beard now lol. Pretty close to SD's regular season OD lineup. OGonzalez Lockridge Ornelas E.Rosario fighting for last spot. Lipcius at 1B is new.

Well Mitchell gets his revenge game opportunity...just not sure he can do much against Cease. Any Amaya updates on the hip injury? Would rather see Maton, tbh. Not that it really matters much in the overall scheme of things.

But you were referring to Montgomery…not Benintendi. Who obviously topped out at nearly 5. He hasn’t been near 0.0 despite 20ish homers in 2024 or much better in 2023.

In what world starting with 202- is Benintendi a 3.5 bWAR guy? he was below a 2 bWAR on average for the four seasons before the Sox overpaid him.

5-14, 5.18 ERA Shane Smith will beat that...at least.

Like Jose deLeon perhaps?

The difference is 6-7 different ratings out there now. Back in the day only Baseball America....even 20-25 years ago.

1985-86 White Sox were in a similar situation as today when they picked Bobby Bonilla in the Rule 5 draft...dead in the water.
