Autumn Dreamin

Samurai Japan livestreamed some of their warmups on Youtube, and it was fun how engaged the fans in Japan were. Especially for Shohei and Mune's sessions, surprising amount of crowd pop for BP homers.

Mune getting warmed up

Looks like Antonacci is leading off and starting at SS tonight

Kay 4 innings, 1 ER (solo shot to Adell). 4K, 0 BB, 3 hits. Was still 95-96 in his last inning, though his efficiency kept the pitch count <50. Hays is a triple shy of the cycle

Kay finally gives up a baserunner, but no damage. Last FB he threw was 95.8. Colson HR on the first pitch of his second AB, 4-0 Sox.

Yeah, I'm curious to see how it holds up as he gets stretched out. So far so good, held it though 3 innings his last outing.

Another 3u/3d for Kay. It's weird, they keep emphasizing that he's "not a hard thrower at all" but he's comfortably sitting 96+ Like it's not triple digits, but it's also not "soft tossing lefty" stuff.

Hays HR scores Meidroth (BB) and Colson (1B), Sox 3-0

Angels radio taking about how Fedde was in Korea last year...must have read an article from his first stint here without checking the date. Easy 1-2-3 for Kay, who continues to have more velo than I expected.

Teel was still in uniform walking around high fiving teammates after the game, so unlikely to be too serious

Team USA might just deserve an early knockout lol

I can't bring myself to respect him after watching his attitude in the minors.

Awesome win for Italy

Antonacci scores on a WP, Italy up 8-0

He walked off under his own power so hopefully nothing too bad.

It's not the WBC, but yet another 💣 for the vibes. Fun day for Sox fans.

Sam heard me!

Could get used to White Sox hitting homers on national TV

Kyle Teel HR to put Italy up 1-0!
