"It's an exciting lineup for the White Sox tonight, as the catching kids combo of Edgar Quero and Kyle Teel - arguably the best two hitters on the club, so huh, this makes sense - batting first and second. On the flip side, because the White Sox plan for just enough arms to get through April every year, it's another planned bullpen game."
"More good news for the White Sox: They're facing Taj Bradley, who got crushed by the White Sox last time facing them. Colson Montgomery, batting cleanup, is wiping the drool off of his chin, as he has two homers and five ribbies in four ABs vs. the righty. With 22 games remaining, the White Sox need to go 11-11 to escape a third straight 100-loss season. Impossible even two weeks ago, now ... plausible?"
A White Sox victory would complete a rare four-game road sweep and reduce the deficit to fourth place to 9.5 games, keeping a late-season run plausible. The lineup features catchers Edgar Quero and Kyle Teel batting first and second, and Colson Montgomery has substantial success against opposing right-hander Taj Bradley. The pitching plan is a bullpen game with Fraser Ellard starting, but Jonathan Cannon’s call-up — along with Tyler Gilbert — provides a possible bulk arm after Ellard, while Bryan Hudson moved to the IL and Bryse Wilson was DFA'd. The team needs an 11-11 finish over 22 games to avoid a third straight 100-loss season.
