On Sunday, the White Sox hung a
six-spot on Kyle Hendricks and his relief.
Yesterday, the Sox nicked Yu Darvish for five runs in the first,
highlighted by an Eloy Jimenez grand slam.
This is definitely a step up from intrasquad games. Now, the Sox are hitting homers off a real
opposition. I still wish it counted,
though.
Again, something looks off with
the North Siders. Darvish has spoken
about his unease over COVID-19, and I have to wonder if he didn’t take those concerns
to the mound with him. Technically, he
didn’t get out of the first; they just called the inning after the Cubs’ righty
had thrown 29 pitches. Something like
that sure would’ve extended James Shields’ career.
The final score was 5-3, good
guys, and it wasn’t as close as the numbers might suggest, given how the Cubs’
runs were all unearned. Ten hits in two
games—it’s a good thing the season hasn’t started yet.
Unless, of course, you’ve just taken
two from your crosstown rivals.
