After watching this Garfein interview of Kelenic I’m rooting for him to make it.  Pretty introspective about his struggles, doesn’t come off cocky or like a jerk, willing to discuss his problems

Game Thread: White Sox (8-7) at Mariners (4-9-1) | South Side Sox

Edited March 7Mar 7 by WestEddy

Its kind of embarrassing that CHSN cant broadcast their own game and have to relay the Mariners broadcast. Granted it's better than nothing

Home broadcasts for road games are very rare in spring training, CHSN isn't really an outlier here.

SoxMachine's game notes:

Pregame notes: While the White Sox were out of sight - Sox Machine

- quickie wrap of yesterday's performances
- 31 players come to "agreement", but Vargas had his contract "renewed"
- recent cuts
- WBC stats
- Injury updates
- Last Daylight Standard Time game

Gilbert 4 IP,  0 runs ,2 hits ,2 walks, 2 Ks.

Taylor & Martin combine for 4 IP 

Taylor 1IP ,0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, O K

Martin 3IP ,0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 4 K

Fielding error by Acuna and throwing error by Quero on att. steal allowed JP Crawford to reach 3rd base with 1 out but Martin pitched out of it.

B. Montgomery single

Meidroth single 

Acuna FC  Meidroth out at 2nd, Montgomery to 3rd.

Montgomery scores on a WP.

1-0 White Sox

Ryan Boruki in to pitch.

 

Borucki K's Colt Emerson

Then GO ,single, then called 3rd strike which was challenged and strike was confirmed vs Refsnyder who hits LHP very well.

Alberto pitches bottom of the 6th

Single to Luke Raley

DP GO

3rd out GO

Pretty nice 10p inning from Alberto topping out at 98.9...I think he's easier to stash in the short term than Paez.

Dru Baker double into RF corner

Meidroth walk

Dustin Harris bunt single. Bases loaded

Benintendi single drives in 2. 3-0

Baker K

WP runner on 3rd doesnt score but PR on 1st goes to 2nd

Quero  K

Bergolla line out to LF

Here at the game. Don’t know anything about him but that Alberto dude has something. Tall as s%*#, great extension and velocity, solid off speed offering.

White Sox sink Mariners, 5-1 | South Side Sox

Bloom's post-game notes

White Sox' Grant Taylor pleased with his start, although he's more of a finisher - Chicago Sun-Times

- Grant Taylor happy to face some big leaguers
- McDougal and Schultz cuts discussed
- Thorpe snapping back quicker, better on next day
- mini recap
