The Sox now have the worst record in Spring Training owing to Hahn's failure to even consider free agent acquisitions outside of a half-hearted pursuit of Machado.  If the team is to turn things around and then bring that momentum into the regular season, it needs to start now.

you're an idiot. please leave

Santana and Giolito are pitching. NBCSC. Bad lineup because of the night game last night. Nobody get hurt. 

 

Curious to see what Santana has left, finally.

Also, Mendick fans are getting a rare treat this preseason.

? I'm looking at the same things. Santana, when I seen him vs. us, always gave us a hard time. It would be neat to see Mendick make this team. Looking at his minor league numbers, they are not too shabby.

Sharp and efficient first inning.  Wish Lucas, Lopez, Rodon and Fulmer could pitch that quickly, really picks up the defensive morale.

Santana doesn’t have much on his fastball

Fixed it.

He was supposedly low 90’s in the B game.  Needs 93-95 to be effective.

I think Mendick makes Yolmer and Rondon expendable later in the year. He seems like a guy who will have a solid bench role in the Sox future.

His minor league numbers don’t assure that.  Let’s see where is in July at Charlotte in terms of overall numbers.

He has a big time uphill climb to make the team.  I know he has had a big spring, but he hasn't really done anything impressive in the minors as of yet, and he is already 25.  He has an outside chance at getting some ABs, but I would be moderately surprised if he was ever a decent part of the line up.

That was a nice duece from Gio.

I'm not saying he'll make the team out of ST. He shouldn't. But he's been impressive this spring. He could be a guy that allows the Sox to move on from Rondon or Yolmer. I don't think he's every going to be starter material. I view him as a solid future infielder off the bench.

Sox being perfect gamed through 6 .

Utility sounds like a reasonable ceiling. 

Unreal how bad the starting pitching is going to be. Giolito just isn’t major league caliber.

I'm really close to losing all hope for Giolito. He just isn't good.

Really off the mark over a spring game and I think you know that.
