Anyone else watching? Bregs just worked a nice walk off his large adult son Chris Sale.

J. Dinger Davis just hit a rocket right back at Sale and nailed him in the leg.

Knocked him out of the game

J.D. is legit. Hitting the ball hard all over the diamond.

I think Sale hurt himself twisting after the ball hit him.

I'm starting to find Fisher to be generally annoying.

This NESN color guy.

Frank Tuesday is getting blooped all over the place. Fisher let's a foul pop get away from him ,followed by a walk and 2 bloopers.

Who's the dolt that decided to shift the RF into damn near CF against a LH hitter. we've gotten extreme with the shifts in spring.

For all we know, Fisher was lined up wrong. For a fast guy, he completely sucks defensively.

Neither is fisher. Guy has a lot of work to do to be a serviceable outfielder. And he better keep hitting the ball like he’s done recently or he’ll just be a guy who runs fast.

Who knows. We saw that a few times last year. I remember commenting about Reddick being so far off the line against a lefty. I'm sure there's scouting by someone smarter than me that supports playing them that way but that far off the line, it basically guarantees a triple if it's pulled down the line like that.


And yeah Fisher's defense is surprisingly poor for a guy with his speed. His reads and routes aren't very good.

Martinez and Moreland are pull grounders, oppo fly ball guys, hence the odd shifts that backfired

Yeah, J.D. may lead baseball in triples playing at Fenway.

McCann has 1 hit this spring, Stassi has 5. this is fine.

Are there any promising catching prospects coming through our system? I just don’t see stassi as anything other than an extra inning replacement after mccann’s been pinch run for.

I would think we go after a catcher for next year.

I think there are still high hopes for Garrett Stubbs.

Plus, keep an eye out for Abraham Toro-Hernandez, a convert to catcher who can really hit and has a cannon for an arm.
