Jose Ruiz with a nice inning. Control and a good fastball. He looks like he could help the pen in 2020 / 2021

He will be up this year.

If I told you that Nick Madrigal and Yoan Moncada had the same amount of strikeouts today, you would say...

Sample size?

Moncada is 2 for 3 with an RBI. Nice first ST game so far.

I hope so. He has nice stuff.

Ah, that begs the question: would you like Moncada with Madrigal's ability to put the ball in play or Madrigal with Moncada's power?

Let’s hope Moncada has a better career trajectory than Jurickson Profar or we’re doomed.

Timmy flies out oppo, tough play down the RF line.  DJ Peterson is on fire, 3B is locked up for the next decade...#85.

The second...although the first would be more fun to watch.

Ironically, he pitched for the Padres two years ago.

Jay only looked good in a Cardinals’ Jersey, fwiw.   Hits the weakest RBI single almost right up the middle, drives in Yolmer for the first Gatorade shower of the year.

Moncada without the strikeouts woud be very fun.  I love to see him run.

Jon Jay!  75 hopper.  Highlight reel

Jay with a squibber through the middle. Base hit and an RBI. Go Manny's mate.

I'll read threads but no watching for me either. I may watch Eloys first game. 

Guyer at least gave that one a ride, but right at the LFer.

Jordan Stephens gets blasted for a homer off Pederson. 

But of course former Sox player Joc Pederson kills one

Joc Pederson bomb!

Joc just murdered a Jordan Stephens pitch all the way up the berm.

Well that was a very exciting, clutch at bat there by John Jay.  I think that is worth much more than $4 million.  Can we release him now so that he can go buy a Padres season ticket plan before all the good seats are taken?  I hear it is beautiful there this time of year.

Jordan Stephens rocked by Joc Pederson to RCF.  Really posted up on his back foot, almost fell over backwards.

Lol.

Now we know why they brought in Santana, Nova and Banuelos.

Whenever hearing that term, the British Open always comes to mind...

Moncada easily. What would Madrigal do with a bunch of power if all he does is beat the ball into the ground

I like hearing that Fulmer touched 94 today. Hoping by end of ST he’s at 96

Doesn’t matter if he keeps walking everyone and not missing enough bats.

Madrigal with his first hit in a big league uniform, infield single to Profar.  Because of course...

Speaking of Joc Pederson...can someone explain to me how Peggy Kasinski's high school aged son broke the story of how the White Sox were interested in trading for him?  A guess or does this kid actually have a source?
