Kepler doing his best Brian Dozier impression

Max does love to ambush pitchers on that first pitch of a game. Has to be in the scouting report. I'm amazed he gets a first pitch anywhere near the strike zone.

White Sox's defense looks the same as last year 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Sox infield looking good tonight.

Great play by Garcia for no outs.

 

Here's my hot take for their season: I know the Sux are the media darlings for their prospects, but they're at least a year away, maybe two.

[Brock Beauchamp]

This is fun!

[Doctor Gast]

That should do a # on Giolito`s confidence!

[Nine of twelve]

I would rather have no fake fan noise and instead listen to everything the players and benches chirp about.

I'm thinking a year away, as well. The old Twins/Sox rivalry could get really interesting again starting next season. (Maybe sooner, since anything can happen in a 60 game stretch.)

Rosario draws the first of the four walks he’ll draw in 2020.

I'd guess not wanting us to hear everything said by the benches and on the field is actually the main reason they're piping in the sound. Has little to do with ambiance.

[Diesel]

Eddie took a walk!?!

Apparently Hill screams F bombs every time he misses a pitch and I’m sad I won’t hear it.

Mike him up!

[Doctor Gast]

Are they using a robo ump?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Garver became superhuman overnight and I don’t understand how that’s even possible.

[bighat]

Great job Garver!

[Doctor Gast]

Here we go!!!!!!!

[Guest]

I like it when the Twins put up crooked numbers in the first inning.

[70charger]

Eddie is on pace for 280 walks this season.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Are they using a robo ump?

No, traditional ump.

[70charger]

Woo!

[bighat]

CAVE SAUCE!

[Mill1634]

CAVE!!! LETS AMBUSH

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah Cave!!!!!

[Doctor Gast]

They got Giolito`s #

[Diesel]

This lineup is scary. Giolito is rattled

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Twins needed to put the White Sox in their place out of the gate and they’re off to a good start.

[Squirrel]

I kinda like it, but why is Sano hitting 8? Are his numbers against Giolito that bad, or are they just giving him more time to ramp up?
