Spring Training Game Thread: USA at SF Giants, Puerto Rico at Red Sox

Is it on TV?

Kind of. This is the first night game of Spring Training and it conflicts with a Bruins game, so it’s been bumped to NESN+. First pitch is at 6:05 PM.

What’s the lineup?

What should we watch for?

Assuming you can watch it, it’ll be nice to get another look at Kristian Campbell in centerfield. Braiden Ward, meanwhile, has been the best base-stealer in all of baseball this spring so far, so that’s pretty neat. But the most intriguing player in the lineup today is probably the pitcher, Jake Bennett, who has a huge fan in fellow Jake Jacob Roy.

Are there any other interesting games featuring Red Sox players that are on TV?

Why yes! Team USA will play its first exhibition game ahead of the World Baseball Classic this afternoon against the Giants. Roman Anthony is playing left and hitting seventh. Catch it on ESPN, first pitch at 3:05 PM.
