So yeah, you’re getting the picture of what it’s like to play baseball in Chicago this early April.
Apparently there is a window of opportunity in which to play today’s game. That might be a window between a hellscape of ice and a wintry mix, Bear weather and a blizzard, or even frostbite and the emergency room.
But it’s a window, and the Tampa Bay Rays aren’t likely to remain 1-8 and on the Most Depressing Early Season Road Trip Ever for any future makeup date, so let’s play ball!
For the White Sox, Nicky Delmonico takes cleanup today, and Omar Narvaez starts, against the righty Chris Archer.
