A new series began tonight in Oakland, windy worlds away from the winter wrath that ruined the weekend. Despite a feeling of a fresh clean slate after a snow day or three, the White Sox showed more of the same silliness that defined the small sample of early April games. It’s like all the hot cocoa in the world can’t cure what ails this team’s spotty defense, bummer bullpen, and lackluster offense (not to offend lackluster offenses).
Yoan Moncada led off the game by roping a single to right on the first pitch - yay!
