Happy and surprised to see Baldwin in the lineup 

This was probably the one iconic ballpark I've gone to that had mythical status from my childhood. The Astrodome would have been another.

Baldwin will be #27. The White Sox who wore that number the longest? Lucas Giolito. Duke Ellis, Bryan Shaw and Rafael Ortega all wore #27 this year.

My dad and I took a road trip to KC during my junior year in HS for a Sox series. Sitting a few rows behind us one of the games was Geddy Lee. Both of us are huge RUSH fans so it was awesome. He was super nice and gave us an autograph. He's a huge baseball fan and just randomly goes to games all the time.  Definitely one of my cooler MLB game moments.

I'm going to guess (at least judging by Maldy getting cut) that Pedro no longer has any say in how any of this is happening. 

Ah hell, I gotta watch now, with Brooks getting the start.

He has an unbelievable baseball memorabilia collection in his home. 

I wonder how many hits and ribbies Pasquantina will get tonight. He's poison.

A lot of players dealt with delayed flights coming in, but Nick Senzel is still en route.

“I’m hoping he gets here in time, he’s in the lineup,” said Pedro Grifol.

When Senzel does arrive, Grifol said he’ll play multiple positions, and will also offer a solid bat vs. LHP

All games are free today on the MLB TV app

Flexen was the starting pitcher in the 2nd game vs the Pirates and the starting pitcher tonight.

That means he'll have been the starting pitcher in 2 of the last 3 Sox games.

The fates hate Pedro.  First Moldy, now Senzel.

Back at it. Missed you guys...

I too missed baseball. No matter how bad it is.

As much as this team sucks, I’ve missed being able to just put the game on

Grifol had this to say about Moncada:

Quote

The dentist thinks the risk. The quit ladder routs his adductor strain. The away gasoline explores his adductor strain. A humorous breakfast braves the mechanism underneath the publicized compound. Yoan Moncada shifts my writer into the reduced librarian. The consumer cleans his adductor strain.

 

No Schriffen or Stone? Hmm....

Nice start Pham with a double down the LF line

The Royals City Connect jerseys are very clean.

Here we go. All set up for vaughn to hit a single that merely loads the bases, and then for Eloy to pound one into the ground to shortstop. 

Thank god we got over the worst week in the sports calendar. British Open wasn't doing it for me as I'm not waking up at 5AM to watch it. 

Pham with a brilliant steal of third. Vaughn with a hilarious routine gidp.
