Getting shut down by Jesse Scholtens feels like rock bottom, but we all know it will get worse.

Someone explain the decision to get rid of Harris before Peters. That one doesn’t make sense to me.

Probably will be Peters, but hopefully the clock is ticking on Benintendi.

Where does this Rich guy fall on Sox prospect lists? Never heard of him until today.

Pause…

His velo looked down too but I’m probably just paranoid.

Is Hagen hurt? He only pitched 3 innings.

So Newcomb was available but you bring in Bryan Hudson in the highest leverage moment of the game so far. I’m really starting to think Venable isn’t the guy, and I thought highly of him last year.

His fastball command was still terrible yesterday and he’s killing the bullpen, might as well give him a start or two in AAA to iron out the issues in a low pressure environment. Don’t hate it.

Smith’s offspeed stuff is so much better than his fastball, which feels like the complete opposite of last season.

This is a brutal watch. 5-9 are automatic outs.

Are you trolling? He was better than league average offensively in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021…so basically his prime outside of the COVID outlier season.

Agreed. The Sox have made tons of mistakes but I don’t think passing on Vientos is one of them. He has a similar profile to Vargas and Sosa. They already don’t have enough room for Sosa as it is so I’m not sure where Vientos would’ve fit on this team anyway.

I can’t watch Peters and Benintendi anymore.

I don’t think Sosa has ever had much value.

Took me less than 2 games to lose all hope I had for this season.

They already had this guy last year and DFAed him. What could have possibly changed for them to want him back.

The problem is that most pitchers are right handed. McGuire better not be getting much if any playing time over Quero, even if he’s the better left handed hitter of the two as of now. Quero needs those at-bats to continue improving from the left side.

They already had Lee who is significantly younger and has had a much better spring. I just don’t understand why they would push him to the side to give McGuire a guaranteed contract. That said, ideally neither will play that much so it doesn’t really matter.

Hagen’s line looks good. Nice to see.

Sigh

I don’t think Lee had much value anyway. If anything, Teel going on the IL probably opens up another spot for a position player like Mead or Pereira.

Annoying but could be worse. Still 2 weeks until Opening Day so hopefully he only misses 15-20 regular season games.

How has there not been an update on Teel yet

His reaction had me concerned. He looked really angry. But he is also a huge competitor so maybe he was more angry that he had to leave the game than the injury itself. Hoping for the best.
