They need arms. There are 5 games in a row starting Saturday. They are probably choosing not to use a 5th starter, and will use bullpen games until Nastrini has another year of control. By the way, next Monday’s weather looks terrible vs Braves. They may have to play a doubleheader Tuesday or Wednesday, or there are a couple dates in June they could come back.

Min 80-82 Det 78-84 Cle 75-87 Sox 64-98 KC 59-103

Would not be surprised if the Mets, Phillies and Orioles move opening day to Friday. Opening Day games Thursday could start at 3p, including the Sox.

Guessing this is the 26- OD Lineup- Benintendi, Moncada, Robert, Jimenez, Vaughn, DeJong, Pillar, Maldonado, Lopez Bench- Fletcher, Shewmake, Sheets, Lee Rotation- Crochet, Soroka, Fedde, Flexen, (Nastrini) Bullpen- Shaw, Banks, Kopech, Garcia, Leone, Hill, Leasure, Wilson, Brebbia

I hope Lee takes this opportunity and runs with it. With Maldonado and Stassi, nobody should be guaranteed a spot.

They are playing a camp game vs Charlotte tomorrow before flying to Chicago.

Fletcher, Ortega, Remillard K to end spring training games. Now let’s get some roster moves.

Fletcher just homered. Message sent.

No. They usually have a 3pm game on Monday and a 2pm game on Tuesday. I doubt they leave Sunday night. Probably intrasquad/organization games the last couple days, as Fathom mentioned.

Anyone know why they don’t have anything scheduled Monday or Tuesday? B games at least?

Opt-out decisions are due now for Shaw, Leone, Chavez, Keller, Moustakas, and Pillar.

Robert is probably the best defensive outfielder the Sox have ever had.

Yamamoto with a Dodgers debut he’d rather forget. All over the place.

Tomorrow’s Crochet start vs KC is on MLB Network.

Moncada heard they were going to play the last five games like regular season games, so…

64-98, 4th place in a division that will have 5 teams under .500.

Gotta hand it to Robinson and Lee…they’ve had excellent camps.

I’m thinking Deivi Garcia makes the bullpen. Hill, Banks, Kopech, Leasure, Brebbia, Wilson also in. Maybe Kuhl or Leone.

Because it’s goofy. You’re out of the game, go to the bullpen to work on stuff. Just my personal preference. Of course it’s meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

I hate the re-entry rule in spring training. That is all.

This is just a funny story he can tell someday. I think this guy is going to be a good major league starter. Yea, he was traded twice because he’s not a huge arm, but there is still a place in the big leagues for guys that can change speeds and locate…you know, pitch. He’ll be fine.

If he’s not ready, it might not be a bad idea just to go with Sheets and Pillar for a while. Sheets is bad in the field, but it’s not like he’s out there all the time. Plus, we suck anyway, so if Fletcher needs time in Charlotte to get the bat going, so be it.

To start the season, I hope it’s: Fedde, Soroka, Flexen, Crochet, Nastrini Tanner Banks and maybe Deivi Garcia as long relief. Send Thorpe to Charlotte for a month
