Michael A. Taylor scratched from lineup. Right elbow inflammation.

They still doing the ticket food and drink special there in Peoria? Last time I was down there they had a 30 dollar buy in and you got like 3-4 whiskey drinks and a couple solid food options out of it

Uh oh. On of the worst players in baseball in 2024 might miss time. Thank God they have two others — Drury and Gallo.

S. Smith, Nastrini, Varland, Eisert, Taylor. 

The game is watchable on MLB.com.

Smith just made the team.  He has quite the arm.

He throws that hard???

I don’t remember scouting reports saying he threw this hard.  How do his secondaries look?

Did he say “and a change up for strike 3”? Damn, that’s a pretty good change at 99 mph. 

 

Here’s another K

 

Sun-Times Sox notes:

Clevinger would use full arsenal in late-inning role for White Sox - Chicago Sun-Times

Clevenger could use full arsenal closing
Taylor out with elbow inflammation
Thorpe progressing
Ramos about to start rehab program
 

Smith looks great. Inconceivable.

And his third K here

 

Robert!

A bomb

 

That might be the best three at bats the Sox have had consecutively in years

At worst, he’s a late inning bullpen guy with that fastball

Sosa batting .714. I don't suppose he'll carry that into the season. 

Signs of life as calendar turns to March!

The strikeout seems to be the truest outcome for Gallo.

Too bad.  It used to be walks and HRs.  Not so much these days.

Drury and Rojas both look pretty good. Gallo looks cooked. Sosa looking good too.
