2024 Red Sox spring training games
- Thread starter The Gray Eagle
- Start date
Walks to Devers and Story lead to an RBI single by Casas to tie it up, night over for all 3 with pinch runners as soon as they reached. Sox take the lead on a Masa FC chopper to second, 3-2 Sox at the stretch.
Unbelievable! Nice play, 67!!
And Bernardino almost got decapitated. Second scary one tonight. Stuff looked good.
Had the game on the radio. Will and LouMer. They mentioned NCAA basketball for a minute, including the Oakland lead over Kentucky at halftime. And LouMer chimes in with a quick tongue-in-cheek story about how his babysitter is losing money gambling on basketball and he's going to have to cover the $10K debt for her. (Segue to Ohtani gambling story - ha!) I really like LouMer, on the radio or TV.
That is all.
That is all.
Some guy I've never heard of with the name "Hangenmann" is starting today in front of what seems like mostly a AAAA type of lineup. Getting the rotation set for opening day with one more start for whoever the "5" will be?
Also the weather is nasty and games may not be played at all, explaining the B squad lineup. Both Twins games have already been canceled today.

Currently in a rain delay, but it's a free game of the day on MLB.TV.
Also, all the remaining ST games seem to be free games of the day.
Radar is iffy. Ft. Myers may get a dry patch coming soon.

The game is going, with the Toronto feed on NESN. No score going into the bottom of the second. Red Sox have gone 6 up, 6 down on offense so far.
I know it's because they upgraded the stadium when the Jays had to play regular season games there due to COVID restrictions, but it's still weird that the CF camera view makes it seem like they're at Rogers Centre. Just doesn't look like a spring training park.
Kiner-Falafel rips a 2-run bomb in the second, the first runs Hagenman has allowed so far this spring in 9.2 IP. 2-0 bad guys.
Looks like NESN is blocking over part of the onscreen info on the Toronto feed. Typical.

Good catch by Chacon in center though it looked in real-time like he short hopped it. He also made a good throw to get a runner at third on the play before. Not bad for a single-A (so far) guy.
He is the long-time TV announcer for the Blue Jays. Understated but top notch.
Leading off today in Bradenton,, Abreu with a moonshot just foul.... Takes a BB. Erased on a tailor-made DP to short by Reyes. Casas disciplined, too much so it seems as he was frozen for the backward K.
The pitch to finish off Casas was plain nasty. He likely wouldn't have been able to do anything with it even if he had swung, just a perfect pitch.
Mayer sucks. Sell the team.
Bello 1 pitch, one out, chopper to Reyes at second. Pittsburgh announcer calling him "Bellow", quickly corrected by the truck it seems. Goes full on McCutcheon then gets pop to short. Missed what looks like an error while typing. Olympian and #67 Alvarez flawless on routine grounder to third. 13 pitches, should have been several fewer.
Yeah, it was filthy. Hard to even foul that off. This kid Jones looks like the real deal based upon his numbers, stuff, and the comments the announcers are making.
Bobby D leadoff walk. Anthony looked frozen on 2 strikes, had a good swing after adjusting but right up the middle into the defense, another twin killing. Wong soft grounder to third. Too quick.
Soft single after a foul out (nice play by Reyes) put runners on first and second with 2 down. Easy grounder to short and threat neutralized.
Mayer had no chance against Jones. Swinging K out and up. Filthy. Alvarez takes a walk. Contreras down swinging on nasty slider. Lazy pop up, inning over.
I had forgotten that Eddy "the Jet" Alvarez was an Olympic speed skater. His wikipedia page is pretty cool:

I know Oneil is huge, but him standing next to Bobby Dalbec kind of accentuates that a bit. That dude is an absolute tower.
That was great pitching by Bello. Connor Joe was taking huge swings and he kept throwing him changeups.
I really liked the broadcast before they spent last inning gabbing with the miked-up fielder, that always sucks. But before that they weren't talking too much, just talking about the game without the usual off-topic nonsense. I'd rather hear the crowd noise than announcer babble any day.
I wonder how many pitches Bello will throw today in his last spring training start?

Unreal and embarrassing that the Pirates are gonna break camp with Marco Gonzales and Martin Perez in the rotation and Jared Jones and Paul Skenes in the minors.
That was like half of a really nice play by Casas there.
Sadly the other half almost got Bello killed.

Bello leaves after right around 90 pitches, bases loaded 1 out bottom 6. Overall he looked very good, some bad luck and bad umpiring didn't help at the end.
Abreu got fooled a little and was not at all set up to take advantage of his arm on a medium fly to right. 1-1 on the sac fly. Weissert finishes with backwards K.
At some point, Weissert is going to get someone to swing at a pitch that hits them in the ribs. That slider is gross.
Mayer showcase still not pretty.... first pitch groundout to second this time. Alvarez follows with a solid single to right.
Ooof terrible K for Wilyer. Absolutely have to put the ball in play there and he chased at his eyeballs.
Abreu comes up small after a passed ball put runners on 2nd and third. Awful AB. Cedanne played his way on to the team, per Cora and the main board. Is Abreu playing his way off?
Campbell is a fun watch. He was down here when I was working at the stadium in '22, and is a fan favorite, too. I think you guys will like him.
Can't believe they got him for Urias. Blows my mind.
