Patch being worn today by all teams…
Today’s patch makes me nostalgic. During my KU baseball sports info days before most games at old Quigley Field, a very kind gentleman who scouted for the Cubs always regaled me in old time stories. He also told me to dream big and chase those dreams. That man was Buck O’Neil. pic.twitter.com/m6FeX67ECK

Dakota struggled in the first inning last season. Looked like he was missing his spots in the first. Hoping he makes a rebound in the second.
Nice at bat by Carlson.
Carpenter looked really bad in his second at bat there. He had two really good pitches to hit and one that wasn’t bad, and managed to hit nothing but air.
Was there no viable option to sit Carp against the lefty? I guess other options are left handed too. How about giving Patrick Wisdom a jingle?
Wow, this has gone south fast! They should have pulled the kid after the second home run. Tough first outing.
Back to back x 2. A quad. Can’t remember seeing this against us. Or for us. Ramirez may go the DL with a strained neck. 3 of 4 were 400 foot variety.
This is the 10th time a team has hit 4 straight home runs in a game.
The White Sox have done it once before: on Aug. 14, 2008.
Those were hit by: Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, Alexei Ramirez, Juan Uribe

Carp hasn’t looked good since 2018. But there is very little choice at gthe moment.
I’ve been one of Carp’s biggest supporters, but in a season this short, there’s no room to allow him to figure things out. If he’s not right by the time Dejong and Yadi come back, he’s a platoon only bat as the part time DH, IMO. I’d give him a couple of starts a week against slow throwing righties.
