Congrats to the White Sox, who won 5-4 to move their record to 5-3 a bit more than a week into Spring Training, and for MLB.com, for hustling, scamming, bamboozling, and hoodwinking me into believing today’s game might actually be broadcast so that it might be seen by mine own two eyes. Another day, I suppose! Until then we’ll just have to get our news via Len Kasper and carrier pigeon.
Playing time continues to inch upwards for the starters. Andrew Benintendi was relieved after just two at-bats (which included his first base hit in a Sox uniform), but Tim Anderson, Elvis Andrus, Eloy Jiménez, Yasmani Grandal, and Oscar Colás all made at least three trips to the plate, each of them knocking out a hit except for Grandal, who reached base via walk.
