Four-fifths of the word “booth” is “boot”

2 weeks ago | southsidesox.com | Leigh Allan

pinterest.com For a while there, thanks to an easy opening homestand, the White Sox were in a tie for first in the AL Central (also tie for last, but we won’t mention that) because of some very good pitching, occasional long balls, and the division reverting to its historically incompetent self for a week. Two days on the road changed that, but it was fun while it lasted.
Davis Martin and White Sox clawed by Tigers, 7-2

David Reginek-Imagn Images For the third game in a row, a White Sox starting pitcher who had an excellent first outing this year had a miserable second one. This time Davis Martin took an even bigger fall from grace, giving up seven earned runs on nine hits, including homers by Kerry Carpenter (his third in two days) and Spencer Torkelson. Were the good first outings mirages caused by facing the Angels? Better hope not.
Chicago White Sox Game Threads: White Sox at Tigers

Matt Dirksen/Getty Images The White Sox will be trying to break a three-game losing streak — or, compared to last year’s long periods of travail, mini-streak — at Comerica Park this afternoon, with Davis Martin having the job of lion tamer. After the starting rotation had outstanding first turns out this season, round two hasn’t come close to matching up — so Davis will be trying to get that back on track as well.
What will be the fate of the Rate at the gate?

koobit.com It’s a pity the Chicago White Sox can’t do one of those weird things that happen in cricket, where the side that bats first gets tired of scoring and just declares “245 for 6” or some such thing and they all take a break for tea and scones before the other team bats.
Cannon fires but offense fizzles as White Sox lose to Angels, 1-0

Geoff Stellfox/Getty Images Jonathan Cannon struggled early, with a 34-pitch first inning, but got help from a familiar sight to White Sox fans: Yoán Moncada taking a called third strike with two men on. Cannon struggled some more in the second, but got a double play with two men on to escape damage.

Chicago White Sox Game Threads: Angels at White Sox

kitguru.net The undefeated Chicago White Sox (fun to say, isn’t it?) try to keep the good times rolling against the Angels this afternoon on a pleasantly balmy day for March. Jonathan Cannon will do the honors, hoping his major misfires in the Cactus League will turn out like theatre folks say, with a lousy rehearsal meaning a solid performance. Cannon’s spring was indeed lousy, with an ERA in double-figures, much of the problem being a complete lack of in-zone command.
Noah Schultz and Hagen Smith crumble, as White Sox get crushed 24-5 by Mariners and Rockies

Ron Vesely/Getty Images It should have been a day for the White Sox big pitching stars of the future (we had hoped) to strut their stuff against two weak-hitting teams. Instead, Noah Schultz and Hagen Smith could barely get their pitches somewhere between first and third base. Both had to get pulled really early, though they did get those Spring Training reappearances.

It should have been a day for the White Sox big pitching stars of the future (we had hoped) to strut their stuff against two weak-hitting teams. Instead, Noah Schultz and Hagen Smith could barely get their pitches somewhere between first and third base. Both had to get pulled really early, though they did get those Spring Training reappearances. At home against Seattle, Smith went 2 1⁄3 innings thanks to the second chance, walking five and giving up three hits and six runs, five of them earned.

Scott Merkin/Twitter You may have heard, there was bad injury news for the White Sox on Saturday morning, both long- and short-term, as Drew Thorpe will have Tommy John surgery and breakout bat Brandon Drury has a broken thumb. As for the remaining healthy players in camp, with time winding down toward games that count the White Sox are getting everybody they can in action today, with split-squad games against the Mariners and the Rockies.
