Even if he is on his game I don't expect him to go more than 4 or 5 innings.

 

Hopefully. I have a love hate relationship with the WBC. On one hand I love any sort of international sporting competition, on the other hand, I hate seeing a Sox asset taxed unnecessarily early in the year.

 

It was really cool though being in Sunset Park BK when that Mexican hat took off from the 2009 classic, it was like every dude on the street had on that hat for a few weeks, really showed that MLB can be a "cool" sport.

I don't mind hitters in it, but pitching playing in it makes me a little nervous. Spring games are a good chance to work on things. WBC games are full bore.

They're capped at like 60 pitches first round.

Chicago White Sox‏Verified account @whitesox 4m4 minutes ago Jose Abreu is leaving for Miami following today's game to tend to personal matters. He is expected to return to Arizona on Wednesday.

 

 

He's testifying.

 

Abreu is scheduled to testify Wednesday in the case against agent Bartolo Hernandez and trainer Julio Estrada. Prosecutors say they oversaw an illegal operation that smuggled players from Cuba to third countries so they could sign lucrative free agent deals with Major League Baseball teams.

 

I've read a little of his story and all the BS he had to go through and all the money he had to give up to get where he is now.

Daryl Van Schouwen‏Verified account @CST_soxvan 50m50 minutes ago Renteria on Lawrie: 'I'm not too concerned about it, to be honest. It’s a situation where we do have coverage [saladino, Sanchez].'

 

Renteria on Brett Lawrie: 'I’ll just tell you it’s day to day until we figure out where’s he at in terms of being able to get on the field'

Michael Kopech said he expects to throw in a sim game Tuesday rather than today. Reynaldo Lopez starting at Diamondbacks.

 

I'm fine with bringing Kopech along slow. He really needs coaching and reps to improve.

 

He has not thrown many minor league innings and should be handling an increased workload this season. Over 100 innings is a good goal for him
