Ill be at this one.

Jimenez in, Robert in. Otherwise a pretty meh lineup.

Adolfo on the bench, will be cool to see him.

Still watching Mendick, pleasure to see Robert back ?

Is this game visible in some fashion?

Doesn't look like it. Gameday.

alrighty, not sure what that means?

Braun just homered.  3-0.  

Jimenez now 3/24, .125.

6 hits already by the Brewers, Moustakas just hit a rocket right at Garcia.   High 7’s ERA for the irreplaceable Ivan Nova.

Sox don’t even belong on the same field against a playoff team with Chacin starting.  No hit so far.  Oh, well...not unexpected, right?  Well, maybe not Jimenez struggling out of the gate.  

Nova is going to get killed in the AL

But at least our $2.5 million catcher has hit the ball hard hard twice.

We can trade him for....something.

I warned everyone this was coming.......If Eloy hits .240/.300/.725 this yr will everyone be as willing to throw Eloy under the bus as they've done with Moncada? 

I don't trust any hitter that has spent a significant amount of time in the Sox org to do anything immediately when called up.

4-0.

Every single hit is a rocket...on the radio, and through the announcers’ description.  All that’s missing is Eucker’s voice so far.

Would love to know how Hahn thought Nova would translate well to the Sox and the AL?  Just an amazing offseason he had.

Um, the 5.5 years and mid-4s ERA with the Yankees?

Sinkerballers get kilt in this day and age.........but don't tell that to Ray Ray. 

Former Padre Spangenberg...competing with Saladino for last spot, blasts a 3 run homer.

7-0.

Cain blasts a hit, at .450.  Hit batter.  Still nobody out, lol.

But it’s just spring training!

 

Now Corey Ray, a reminder of our scouting failures with local Chicago area players...

Exactly.....4 years ago.  Never a K guy either.
 

Are we now to “Major League” movie territory where the overall badness becomes the rallying cry of an underestimated ragtag band of underdogs against Rachel Phelps...err, Jerry Reinsdorf?

He can mentor López....and Giolito.

Ivan Nova is a bum

When Santana is ready he should kick Nova to the pen, not Banuelos, should he still have decent velocity.

Mid 2016 was not 4 years ago.

But you should pitch exclusively down in the zone, brah!

Great, another $9+ million wasted.  Not exactly cheap, just dumb.  I guess that’s somehow or relatively better.

Assuming that happens (Santana getting his velocity back)...if the Twins were 100% confident in that happening, they would have made more of an effort to retain him for the 2019/20 seasons, when they’re at least TRYING to compete.

We’ll find out beginning Friday.

Rooting for a rainout, haha.  

Jimenez up again, pop up that barely went out of play.  Behind 1-2, in the count.  Comebacker to Chacin, 3/25.

People are moving nova to the pen because of a spring training game. Jeeze.
