The White Sox recalled starter Sean Burke from Triple-A yesterday to see if he’s worked out his walk-happiness. Nope. The 25-year old righthander walked four Rays in 4.1 innings of work and was lucky to be charged with only three runs, given that he also coughed up to homeruns. Final score, Sox 6 Rays 5. Which represents good news and troubling news. The good consisted of Lenyn Sosa, him, hitting a two-run double as part of a five-run second inning. The troubling news concerned pitching, and not just Burke. Rookie Grant Taylor entered the ninth in a save situation, only to walk the leadoff batter and leave after one more pitch to the next hitter. Right now, they’re thinking strained right groin. As for prized minor-league starter Noah Schultz, the 22-year old leftie is being shut down to address “continued [right] knee soreness.” No Arizona Fall League for Schultz. And come spring training, who knows? Pitching’s the name of the game. I just wish the Sox had enough of it.
