The White Sox pulled the short straw this afternoon — the really, really, REALLY short straw.
The Oakland Athletics clobbered the South Siders at Camelback Ranch, 14-4. It’s not Opposite Day, but it sure felt like it.
Starter Lance Lynn was abnormally inconsistent through five innings. This was not his worst outing, but his pitches seemed quite temperamental and often at odds with the strike zone. (though the strike zone didn’t do Lynn any favors, either). He gave up five hits, three earned runs and struck out four.
To reiterate something that has been said before: This is only spring training.
