I am kicking off my 2023 coverage on my birthday! The Sox better get a win, as I need to start the season with some good vibes. On the beautiful day of my birth, February 27, the Chicago White Sox and the Seattle Mariners will play a Spring Training game at Camelback Ranch. The Sox have lost their first two Cactus League matchups, with the offense looking extremely anemic, scoring only two runs over both games. It’s early — I know, I know — I’m just having 2022 flashbacks.
Seattle had an impressive 2022 season, ending with a 90-72 record and securing second place in the AL West behind the World Series Champion Houston Astros.
