Soroka on the bump, trying to win that opening day start. 

Soroka threw a 0 in the first, though he walked one.

Benny and Moncada both worked walks, with Moncada especially seeing a lot of pitches.

Deep flyout by LRJ advanced both runners, Vaughn knocked one in with a bloop over the pulled in infield.

Deep sac fly to RF by Pillar scored another, Moose first pitch lineout well hit but right at the RF.

2-0 Sox after the first.

Remillard with a ground rule double. Probably outplaying Mendick this spring, but we’ll see.

Remillard with the smart play to fake a tag to hold the runner at second after a throw down went into the OF, probably saved a run from scoring on the following groundout.

Still 2-0 Sox headed into bottom 3, where Yo leads off with a double.

I know you were probably joking a bit, but looks like the calendar is setting up to be Fedde, Soroka, and Flexen getting the first series vs Det.  I don’t think Soroka will face the Braves. 

I'm assuming Soroka is done after 4IP (62 pitches). 2H, 2 B, 5K. Slider was pretty effective.

Sox up 3-0.

Soroka 4 IP 2 H 2 BB 5 K 0 R

Thank you. I didn't have a picture of the lineup card from Twitter to post, so I had to write something. I know it's only the Trout-less Angels, but he's looking good through 4. 

Crochet in to start the 5th

 

Hitters look pretty bad against Crochet so far

Crochet struggling a bit in his last inning

Crochet gave up a pair of singles in his last inning, but strands them. Had a couple longer counts too, but still finished 3IP on ~50 pitches or so.

0 R, 2H, 3K, 0 BB. Was still touching 99 at the end.

Think Shuster is a lock for the rotation with 2 spots open? 

Angels broadcast says the White Sox are "putting on a clinic" of taking extra bases, and that the Angels should implement more of it.

Playing FAST, folks.

Dare I say it, but the SP might just be "bad" instead of "god awful". Crochet looking healthy and effective is a nice boost.

The WHITE SOX? That can't be right...
