Cheer up buttercups. It's Schultz and Hagen Smith day. Game is televised. Excite.

 

Get to see Burke as well.

 

Now this is a good to look forward to. 

 

 

Harold, pretty cool to see Schultz pitching for the Sox on TV after his dramatic entrance at Oswego HS a few years ago.  How’s Izzi looking in the minors?

Yeah it's always awesome to see guys play at the next level.  Izzi is doing a hell of a lot better than I thought he would.  I still think he's a reliever but he has a chance to start if he throws more consistent strikes.  Seattle is pretty good at developing pitchers. 

"chuckers" sounds so stupid imo. Just say pitchers.

 

Really, no mention on broadcast of Jake’s wife?

My first time actually seeing the challenge system. That was quick.

I wonder how much teams are strategizing around ABS challenges in spring given that it's not actually in the league yet.

Charlotte coaches for it because they play with it for the season, but would MLB staff bother at this point?

Francona is telling his MLB guys to not even use it. Just letting the minor league guys do it.

Superstar!

Lol

Vargas absolutely sucks

Great defensive play by Vargas that inning

At least Burke has looked good.

I'd like to see Burke be able to put Gonzalez away, there. Two hard hit balls. 

Burke's Statcast report: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/player-scroll/game?gamePk=778863&player_id=680732

14 sliders, all to righties.

Why does Vargas let go of the bat so early in his swing?  Still can’t believe any scout would recommend him.

Hung a ton of pitches, hopefully just due to Arizona and rust.

This offense sure likes fast innings

Now, we gotta listen to this dingus.

Nice throw, Korey.

Listening to Getz vision is depressing for fan base. He inspires nobody.
