How is Oscar Colás progressing this spring? ‘You always have stuff to improve,’ the hot-hitting Chicago White Sox prospect says.

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 22:53:12 GMT

Oscar Colás was itching to bat Saturday against the San Diego Padres.“He probably asked me three or four times if I could get him an AB,” Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Sunday morning. “He knew that if they brought a righty in I was going to pinch-hit (with) him because I communicate that early the days that some of these guys are off.“As soon as they brought in that righty, I looked back and he already had his stuff on.”Colás made the most of his plate appearance, blasting a long home run to right field against Drew Carlton in the ninth inning of the Sox’s 6-5 loss at Peoria Stadium.

Orioles observations on a ‘good learning experience’ for Grayson Rodriguez, Adley Rutschman’s grand slam and more

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 22:53:12 GMT

In Grayson Rodriguez’s first two starts this spring, he pitched on the road, facing lineups littered with major leaguers. Sunday’s outing, his first at Ed Smith Stadium, came opposite a Boston Red Sox split-squad team mostly absent noteworthy hitters.But that group got to the Orioles’ top pitching prospect, who had his worst performance of the spring. After three dominant innings in which the 23-year-old right-hander retired nine of 10 Red Sox with six strikeouts, Rodriguez failed to retire any of the five batters he faced in the fourth inning. He said his issue in the frame was “just trying to throw strikes” instead of actually doing it, more frustrated he veered from the zone-attacking focus he’s had leading up to and throughout spring than his final line.“I don’t think we’re necessarily worried about results,” Rodriguez said. “That’s something that’s kind of been our motto coming up through the minor le...

But the B’s just missed on a couple of back-door plays and Ville Husso (32 saves) made the stops that were required before Andrew Copp ended it with an empty net goal with 23 seconds left, handing the B’s a 5-3 loss.It was another rough day for the B’s special teams.For the second time in as many days, the B’s got off to a slow start.
