This probably wasn’t the way Nick Nastrini planned his final audition to go for a spot in the White Sox starting rotation. However, both the radio team and listeners polled think he’ll get the job anyway because, well, the alternative is pretty much handing a mitt and a rosin bag to a random hot dog vendor.
Nastrini was having a very good spring until the third inning of today’s game against Seattle, which went walk, single, RBI ground out, single, homer, walk, and single for four earned runs. Then, to make things worse, Yoán Moncada threw a ball away for two runs of the unearned variety.
