A theme is building so far this 2019 season: The Chicago White Sox are just good enough to still lose.
Yeah, yeah, it’s just the third game of spring, and the Cactus League is meaningless. But wins are wins, and in the context of a game recap, well, you gotta say something.
There was some bad stuff in this game, beyond the dude who was hitting fifth for the San Diego Padres.
Bernardo Flores, who some of us hope against hope can continue his career as a Mark Buehrle doppelganger and pitch his way into the White Sox rotation sooner than later, had a rough first spring start, two earned in two innings, including a mammoth home run surrendered to Aderlin Rodriguez.
