Rumors have been circling the baseball-trading world a lot lately. Rumors about what? Trading. Who in particular you might ask? Jon Garland. Hopefully this won’t happen, because I think that Garland is a solid starting pitcher for the Sox.
Yes, he didn’t win his game last night, and yes, it is his 3rd straight loss, but he is a big contribution to the Sox defense. Garland is just one win shy to finishing this season with at least ten wins, which will make this his 6th straight season of doing just that.
So how did the last game of the series go with the Royals you might be wondering? Well, Garland pitched eight solid innings, but falling short to Kansas City allowing three runs in the 3-0 (the teams ended up splitting the series). But in the 1st 5 innings, he allowed no runs and finished them off with just 49 pitches. He finished the game with throwing 78 pitches, however 55 of those were strikes. Pretty impressive if you ask me.
The White Sox start the series with the Twins tonight at Minnesota. Mark Buehrle will be the starting pitcher for the Sox and the South Siders will face Johan Santana. Buehrle is going through some rough times right now, but he has a pretty impressive record against the Twins going into tonight’s game. He will start the game with a record on 19-10 against the Twins. The White Sox however, currently are batting .197 (71-for-367) against Santana, collectively. Lets hope they can get that average up and that we also finish the night with a win.
