Losing it a little in the 5th, but his sinker looks heavy and his offspeed stuff has been pretty good. He also looked good last time out. It's turned into a little bit of a battle, though, so we'll see if he can stay effective through this inning.
Trade him to the Yankees. He'd hit 70 bombs a year with that short porch.
I thought I'd be able to listen to the rest of the game on the car radio, but guess what: XM doesn't have spring training games except over the internet and my Volvo doesn't have AM radio. The footnote in the car manual says AM is available in certain markets. What---is New England considered too hoity-toity to listen to AM? It seems as though I missed nothing but awfulness, but still. . . .
Dalbec with a solid play at SS to end the second inning. Of course he whiffs in the bottom half.
McGuire hits the ball hard again, but caught by the O's OF near the fence for an out.
Tapia with another hit.
No score after 2 vs. Os.

The Rays got two unearned runs against Winckowski. Matthew Lugo made an error at third and Jose Siri then stole second and tried to steal third. But the throw from Caleb Hamilton sailed into left to allow Siri to score. Then Gilberto Jimenez homered against Maclanahan, Red Sox trailing 2-1 in the fourth,
I know I am a SuperFan of the Oppo Hit, but Devers needs to do that for a while until he gets back on track. IMHO.
And Duvall homer, 2 runs!

If Duvall can replicate 2021 Renfroe's offense with more consistent D, that's a pretty useful player. Going to come down to his HR vs K rate though like any player of that type.
I continue to get 2013 redux vibes out of this camp. Of course, the range of outcomes includes 2014.

Who threw wide of second base in the top of the first? Wasn't that Duvall? It wasn't pretty, but may not be typical.
Glad he's recovered from his injury last fall. That looked like it could have been so much worse.
Gameday from the SS game shows Blaze Jordan attempting to rock a 1970s glamor blown-out look.
Red Sox lose 3-1 to Tampa. They had a shot with runners on second and third in the eighth but there was a strike out and then Roberto Hernandez grounded out to end the inning.
Red Sox give up four runs and Joely Rodriguez gets injured in the top of the eighth. But Alfaro goes boom in the bottom of the inning. Red Sox lead 7-4.
I know Yu Chang is on the 40-man and should be back in Ft Myers by now. Are we going to see him this ST or not? Not today, apparently.
