The White Sox are back at Camelback Ranch, hoping to recover from yesterday\u2019s beatdown by the A\u2019s. The good news is the bats have been alive, and today\u2019s another shot to keep the offense rolling against the Angels. First pitch at 3:05 p.m. CST.<\/p>\n
Anthony Kay gets the ball for Chicago, who\u2019s looking to make the most of his spring. Once a first-round pick, Kay still flashes the stuff that got him drafted \u2014 a fastball with some life and a slider that sometimes actually misses bats when it\u2019s working. The southpaw has performed well so far this spring, going 2-0 with a 2.35 ERA in 7 2\/3 frames across three starts, but that 1.57 WHIP is a mess. Welcome to Cactus League, where everyone\u2019s just shaking off the rust and trying to remember how to pitch.<\/p>\n

The Angels counter with Alek Manoah, who once looked like a future ace before injuries and wildness sent him spinning. If he\u2019s got it working, Manoah can still blow hitters away with a mid-90s fastball and a slider that actually bites. The Angels are crossing their fingers that he can get back to form, but spring hasn\u2019t been kind so far to the righthander in his three starts, with a 6.14 ERA and 2.05 WHIP over 7 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s Sox lineup features a handful of bats who\u2019ve been making noise lately. Austin Hays continues to square everything up and looks locked in at the dish, while Colson Montgomery has been flashing some pop after leaving the yard on Sunday. Add in the veteran Andrew Benintendi, who has put together a solid spring, and the versatility of LaMonte Wade Jr., and Chicago once again rolls out a lineup that can create some chaos on the bases and do damage in a hurry. Who would have thought?<\/p>\n
The Angels counter with their own mix of veterans and hopefuls as Manoah takes the mound.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, there\u2019s no TV for this one. If you\u2019re desperate for some Good Guys baseball, fire up MLB.TV or MLB+ and settle for the Angels radio call at 3:05 p.m. CST.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The White Sox are back at Camelback Ranch, hoping to recover from yesterday\u2019s beatdown by the A\u2019s.
