Not scoring with the bases loaded and less than 2 outs? That's so White Sox. 

Also I'd like to take this time to make the case for Vaughn hitting 5th, ahead of Yoan. 

If Yoan is going to bat RH, yeah, drop him lower.  That wasn't a pretty swing.

I can argue that he and Grandal will be the worst hitters on this team.  Grandal should hit 8th and Moncada 9th. 

AV picks up his 2nd hit on the afternoon.

I’m good putting him 5th when he’s batting left-handed but yeah move him down if he’s hitting righty.

How long until Yoan pulls a Jose Valentin and gives up switch hitting? 
I've never seen Yoan try to hit left on left though, so there's a chance it could be worse. 

Yaz is 2 for 2. There's a chance that hit right there is caught with a shift. 

I have severe PTSD from seeing our players run the bases and anticipating seeing them limping 

Really liking the 1st to 3rd baserunning so far this spring. 

 

AV is slowwwww ?

Yoan's a career 96 wRC+ guy batting right-handed. The swing isn't aesthetically pleasing, but it's not the point where you give it up completely.

I don't think we've seen him try Left on Left with our Sox.  He used to be decent hitting RH, but he just looks awful now.

His swing looks all arms, but he's 2-2.  So WTF do I know??

Nice hustle to beat that out Gavin

GAVIN SHEETS, THE FASTEST MAN ALIVE

The Elvis show continues with a walk.

Edit: and now ends as Romy pinch runs.

Need a clutch hit against the reliever and a multi-run inning. Another walk or wild pitch works too.

Was that a balk?

Maybe they can just get a bunch of pitch clock violations instead.

We need some new stat categories.

Or a pitch clock violation .?

Wait, if you commit a pitch clock violation while there's guys on base, they all move up a base? I thought it was just an automatic ball. 

It was a balk, not a violation 

Benintendi looks too much like Beckham and that scares me. 

I'm pro pitch clock, it's Spring Training so this doesn't matter, but...

a run scoring because a pitcher is 1 second late with the bases loaded is pretty lame, imo
