QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 04:41 PM) They are dropping like ****ing flies again. Third straight year. I ask again...bad luck or is something else going on in the off season conditioning plan / training staff. Sure "luck" plays a part in it...but three straight years? The Bears decided to do something about it to try to change that "luck"...maybe the Sox need to consider the same. If I am not mistaken, the Sox have had one of the healthiest teams for a while now, in terms of days on the DL.

Woo, Basabe with a beautiful diving catch coming in on a sinking line drive.

Gillaspie bangs a triple off the CF wall. He think he had that one, but was able to get to 3B without a throw anyway, as the CF misplayed it. Skole brought him on a sac fly.

So....about Nolan Gorman. Sigh.

Ugh, I wish Burger was batting right now with bases loaded and not Leonard.

Nicky D crushes a 2B down the RF line past the 1B. Saladino to 3rd.

Saladino takes a walk. He's now 2 for 2 with a single, 2B, SB, BB, and beautiful tag on a CS.

Suicide squeeze between Rondon and Tilson and they convert! Tilson got the bunt down, Rondon scored easily. 5-0.

Palka singles, Engel walks, and then Rondon pokes a 3B down the RF line. Engel scores easily all the way from 1B. The dude just f***ing burns. 4-0 Sox.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 03:16 PM) My bad, I substituted first round picks. Meant to say Burger. Oh thank god, I was furiously searching for info.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 03:14 PM) Trying to think what the best injury I can hope for is. I wrote last week after Honeywell went down how I always forget that after the initial excitement Spring Training is mostly just waiting and hoping no UCLs burst. But man, I know Jimenez doesn't have a bad injury, but Adolfo and now Collins, our hitters are getting picked off one after another. Collins? I must have missed that. He's available for today's game.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 02:10 PM) Superb defense? I don't know about superb, but I think his defense metrics in college were actually well above average despite how goofy he looks doing it. Maybe he can be a Jhonny Peralta type bad body, good defender.

@JRFegan 3m3 minutes ago More Jake Burger hit a slow chopper and was digging hard for first to beat out the throw when he staggered and fell. Had to be carted off, but wasn’t put in a stretcher and his leg wasn’t immobilized. But beyond that is speculation, and we’re waiting for an update

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 03:03 PM) I think it's his left. Could be, I'm watching in a mirror.

QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 03:02 PM) What happened with Burger? I had the audio on but I was looking at something else when it happened. Just randomly collapsed running to 1B on a groundball. It sounded like he screamed and they just showing him rolling around holding his knee or leg. Might have blown out his knee or something.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 03:01 PM) Bringing the cart out for him. He didn't put any weight on it as he was helped to the cart, hopping the whole time. Looks like his right leg.

Bringing the cart out for him.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 03:00 PM) f***. Burger is really hurt, really bad. He's writhing in pain and rolling around short of 1B. Ugh. Looks awful. f*** f*** f*** f***

f***. Burger is really hurt, really bad.

Davidson CRUSHED one off the LF wall. I thought it was going to be 50 feet over the wall by instead it just dented the wall. Saladino scores, 2-0 Sox.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 02:53 PM) Saladino smashes a 2B in the RCF gap. Missed a HR by about 10 feet. He's had a tremendous game both at the plate and on his caught-stealing play. And now Saladino gets a gigantic jump and steals 3B without a throw.

Avilan - 1 IP, 2 K on his sweeping breaking ball.

It's been like 8 pitches, but I like Avilan's stuff. He's got a wicked slurvy pitch.

Kopech is done. 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K.
