Now that the Red Sox begin play against actual professionals, both
Mookie Betts and
Xander Bogearts will be in today's game—at the top of the Boston batting order in the one and two spots. The rest of the lineup is composed of:
Hanley Ramirez 1B,
Christian Vázquez C,
Blake Swihart DH,
Jeremy Barfield LF,
Rusney Castillo CF,
Ivan De Jesus 2B,
Chad De La Guerra 3B—with
Hector Velázquez RHP on the hill. The game will take place against the Twinkies at 1PM Eastern time. As per usual, NESN will
not be broadcasting this game—after all, why would Red Sox fans want to see their team in real Spring action for the first time? Bring on more
"Charlie Moore Outdoors" and infomercials for mops. Now,
that's what the people want!
