2 run triple for Rios in the first. Video available at Whitesox.com.

My Rios concerns are slowly abating.

Kotsay with a hard single to right. 3-0 Sox.

It would be incredible if Rios got off to a hot start in April

I love watching the Rockies. They are my second favorite team, and they got a ton of young players. Fowler, Tulowitski, Stewart, Iannetta, Morales, Jimenez, Street, Smith, etc.. etc.. Like a college type clubhouse they got over there.

seems like weve hit more triples this ST than we hit all of last season

 

edit: looked it up...last year we hit 11 on the entire season....so far this spring that Rios 3b was our 7th

Looks like a totally different hitter. His approach/stance is much better than it was at the end of last year. He's a legitimate all-star when he's right.

They've become exhibit A as far as baseball's "new" emphasis on speed/athleticism/defense goes.

Them and the Rays. Seems both teams are freaks with their athleticism and talent.

Yes. Don't know why I didn't think of the Rays right off the bat. I'd say they're exhibit A with the Rockies next in line.

How about the D-Backs too? Follow the Uptons.

Quentin HBP. Midseason form.

A.J. I think already has 4 LOB. Shame on whoever it was suggesting him at the 4th spot in their lineups. Leave that man low in the lineup Oz.

 

Quentin showing range in RF.. hmm his natural position and he's got his range from the ol' D-Back/Stanford days out there...

Quentin is running A LOT better so far this year.

Kotsay with 3 SB now this spring. Is his speed back to above average again or is that just misleading?

He's probably going to wind up hitting #5 unless Teahen has a seriously good start to the season. Otherwise, there's at least 4 righties in a row in the middle of that lineup.

Well Ozzie was talking about batting Kotsay 5th yesterday, so I don't think anything is set in stone. I would prefer Kotsay over A.J. in the 5th spot sadly enough.

 

Excellent throw by Alexei.

AJ does a lot of things right but driving in runs is not one of them.

Bill Melton name of the day: Dexter Flowers.

Fowler = stud. He and McCutchen are beast of a young leadoff hitters in the NL.

Don't forget Gordon Danks.

Nice hit and run by Kotsay. Rios takes 3rd on a ball hit to LF. Is this White Sox baseball?

 

RBI single for Alexei. 4-1

RBI single by Ramirez. 4-1 Sox. Kotsay has looked good his last couple games himself. Very professional hitter.

 

I didn't know Teahen can bunt..

Teahen with a successful sacrifice bunt

Nice AB for Pierre. 6-1 Sox. Nightmare game for the Rockies pitcher Cook .
