Looks like the Dodgers have all their regulars in other than Teoscar and Conforto.

Will be interesting to watch Smith vs. Ohtani/Betts/Freeman.  One terrible outing and one standout performance so far for him.

Tyler Glasnow on the bump for LA.

 

LAD leave for Tokyo series next Tuesday...Sox have Glendale all to themselves until the following Thurs.  Two NPB exhibition games over Sat/Sun then the first two games of regular season Tues/Wed (early morning starts in US). Imanaga Yamamoto Sasaki all scheduled to start.

Lot of arms that need to get innings after the rain out yesterday leading to a B game on the back field today for the White Sox pic.twitter.com/LdTAlvx3iA

Interesting to see Arxy Hernandez in that B game. The competition for infield spots in A ball is gonna be intense. I could see any outcome between starting every day in W-S to sporadic play in Kanny for Arxy. Hope for a jump in impact for him.

I'd like to see a lot more Vargas at 1B and Vaughn at DH.

I wonder what the thought process was behind throwing Davis Martin in the B game, and Shane Smith against the Dodgers.

They have to decide whether to keep Smith on the roster AND no reason to let Martin start against them when he might face them in July out in LA.

Davis Martin in the B game today:

3.1 IP
1 R
1 H (Wilfred Veras double)
1 BB
6 K

Definitely a possibility for Opening Day.

Smith started almost twenty games in the minors last year.  He'll be fine.

Looks like the Sox will have a free stream

— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) March 8, 2025

 

98 K's Ohtani high out of strike zone

Don't see a single Sox hat behind the plate.

K'd Freeman at 98.

Betts had feared a single to RF.

Kd Smithv looking at 97.

Lee had ball call barely reversed to get an 0-2 count.

This kid has to be in the rotation.

Smith strikes out Ohtani, Freeman, Smith.....great work locating fastball.

The Sox lineup should be close to the everyday lineup at the beginning of the season. Just sprinkle in Baldwin.

Robert broken bat single at 98 after Meidroth drove one to Rosario at the RF wall.

You guys left Caulfield all alone in his own game thread 

Curveball wiped out Tauchman.

.098 average against that pitch

I don’t know. Rojas isn’t really a ss. I would rather have a plus defender at 3b and let someone else ply ss.

HBP to Muncy...weak fly out to CF by 9/20 Rojas.

Taichman caught in net like Eloy.

Taylor K's at 97 on the black.

4 ks

Smith consistently 96-98.

Vargas with a solid stop at first.  Pages kicks out playfully to his fellow Cuban while crossing the bag.
