Well hey, another game, another White Sox loss in a spring training made miserable with finality today, as official world of Bryce Harper’s utterly reasonable 13-year, $330 million contract with the Phillies confirms that the have-not team among Harpchado finalists San Diego, Philadelphia and Chicago is us, truly.
This time, it was the Seattle Mariners toppling the Sox, 8-3, in a game that really only got loosed from the South Siders late.
Lucas Giolito started for the White Sox, and his peak velocity of 97 mph was very good. But his speed ebbed and flowed throughout the start, an apparent case of inconsistency of delivery and/or release point.
