The good news is if EE is done based on spring training March 8 stats, Adam Engel is headed for the HOF.

I’m going to guess they switch roles to start the season.  Engel will revert back to his bad self, as always.

Rutherford grounder, Collins our at 2nd, can’t get 2. 

Wild Pitch offense!  5-1!

Mendick scores, Rutherford to 2nd.

Collins draws a 1 out walk

Mercedes with another HR. 

Trade McCann and go with Collins and Mercedes as your last bench spots.  If their defense is so bad it causes issues, acquire a defensive catcher with no bat.

Makes sense.

 

Spring training, but I’ll still laugh at Manny Machado’s .050 batting average

Back to back solo homers for KC in the 8th. 5-3. 

5-4...

Frare not faring well...

Things like not being able to catch up to a fastball is absolutely something that could carry over. 

I generally agree with you about spring numbers, but something this alarmingly bad is cause for concern. It's similar to a pitcher's velo being way down. 

You said the same thing about Moncada 2 weeks ago. If it's not one guy with you, it's another. Take it easy.

Basabe gets turned around and can’t make the catch, bounces over the wall for a ground rule double. 

Fly out deep to CF but Basabe gets there.  Inning over. 

Sox go 123 in the 8th

Lindgren retires the side in order. 
 

Sox win 5-4!

Two wins

10-6-1 this spring

Kopech pitching Tuesday, and of course it may rain. Tuesday-Thursday looks wet in Phoenix. 

Its official, he's the Rain Man.

Much less wasted motion in his delivery. Keeps his glove down.
