Lopez debut vs Jaime Garcia

Edited April 2, 20188 yr by Brian

It'd be nice to see Lopez go 6+ and command the zone. Get off to a good start.

Thank god for domes. I feel like I’m having withdrawal with all these off days.

Sox win 6-4. They're down 4-2 in the 7th again and turn it on for a win. Moncada goes 3-4 with a homer.

Toronto should prove to be a little more of a challenge than KC. We get Toronto's number 5, 1 and 2 starters. Looking for a 2 games out of 3 series win from the Sox. Tonight is one of those wins.

We don't exactly get their 5/1/2 because Stroman pitched yesterday, so we'll miss him

My white sox fan instincts kick in to believe a pitcher like Jaime Garcia will run right through us but I'm trying to remember this is a pretty new team with different tendencies.

I'm sure Tim Anderson is happy. No doubt we'll likely see the fireworks with those two later on in the season though.

I would imagine that Tim would actually want to face him. After all, he did triple in the Stroman game after the initial incident

Same, same.

Can’t wait for this game. Want to see Lopez pitch well

:excited: :excited: :excited: Let's go Sox!

I think it's good ReyLo is getting the dome start. He's going to battle command, might as well battle it at 72 degrees with no distractions weather wise.

The Sox have won 6 of their last 7 in Toronto. A major difference from our past ways

Moncada

Avi

Abreu

Davidson

Castillo

Anderson

Leury

Yolmer

Engel

 

No Delmonico against the LHP

I guess Renteria was serious about more consistent lineups this year.

As somebody who never follows spring training, i now can see why we are picked to have a horrible record. Castillo, Anderson Leury, Yolmer and Engel is a very bad final five-some hitting wise. Moncada, Avi, Abreu and Davidson must hit and hit big.

I'm with you. I'm super excited about the W'sox, but once things turn south, it'll be really dull watching those 5 try to hit.

I'd be willing to bet one of your houses that out of the bolded, at least 3 have good seasons.

Castillo is a good hitter, and Anderson will improve. Sanchez continues to get better. Not sure how that's a "bad 5." Not many teams have great players 1-9.

Good start.

Gonna see some bombs if this lefty can't keep his pitches down. I'm predicting homers from Avi and Davidson today

Ha, then Avi promptly grounds into DP and Abreu strikes out.

The one and only Geddy Lee sitting behind home plate tonight.
