Bohemi, Harris, and Grody. Of course I follow Mark Grody on Twitter.
I love you guys, and I'm thrilled to be here. I've been listening to the score for many, many, many years.
Middays 10 to 2 on 104.3 The Score. Fly ball center field. Peters coming in. Ball game. White Sox win it 15-2 over the Twins. It was an impressive big lead debut for David Sandlin, and Davis Martin gets the ball tomorrow, a chance to win the series.
That's right. Take that, weird-ass Minnesota Twins. It's CeCe Sabathia's quote, not mine. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. That is the voice of John Triffin on CHSN. And the White Sox just put it to the Twins last night in every way possible, I think, when you consider that it was a 15-2 drubbing. That's how you get it done. Byron Buxton's home run didn't even matter.
Didn't.
And I don't have a lot of opportunities in my life where I can say that, Mark.
That's true. He has been a stinger to the White Sox.
What was David Sandlin's performance like in his MLB debut?
And we'll get to David Sandler.
The rest of the league, by the way. He's in the top five in home runs.
Yeah, and we saw him flying around the bases the other day against the White Sox. So, yeah, he's still Byron Buxton.
Moves like a gazelle.
Because Sox are lucky. So are all the teams in that division that that man has spent so much time on the injured list. But I loved their offense last night because they had a five-run fifth, a five-run seventh. Both were vastly different in the way they scored the runs in the fifth inning. They were just nickel and diming and causing.
Very station to station.
Causing Minnesota to look bad on defense at times. And then in the seventh inning, it was like cleanup time. It's like the thumpers have arrived. And Munataka Murakami gets his 20th. Chase Meidroth with his fifth home run this year. A grand slam. Grand Slam, which matches the five home runs that he had last year. So it was kind of because you had the rookie David Sandlin making his major league debut. Kind of a perfect win for the White Sox last night with the way the offense had the crescendo and David Sandlin after Byron Buxton was awesome.
I'm no expert, but you could say that David Sandlin got run support and
He did get that.
Two touchdowns worth.
Yes. And two extra points. He could be comfortable.
Yes. Yeah. And David Sandlin showed the pride of Owasso, Oklahoma. Boomer Sooner, former teammate of Cade Horton at OU. Oh, yeah. That was a world beater of a team. So he goes out there. And at what point did you realize he had thrown no pitches per inning? I'm like, what? How are you getting guys out on nothing?
What role did Byron Buxton play in the game?
Just flying through.
You are making this look incredibly easy.
There's another nine pitch inning.
Retired 18 straight batters. I mean, made short work. This wasn't just a gem. This was a hell of a performance in every way, shape, and form. He only threw 61 pitches and he went six inning. Could have gone out there for the seventh. I guess at that point, Will Venable's probably thinking, Let's leave him wanting more, the crowd. Let's get you out of here with an absolutely sparkling outing. Not much more you could have done in his role than to absolutely go out there and just shine. And that's exactly what we saw.
To the efficiency point, 61 pitches.
How?
How? It's all it took over six innings where he allowed just the one run on one hit. And it wasn't, if you didn't see the game from the very start last night, the very first pitch that he threw was called a strike by the umpire. Immediately reviewed. Byron Buxton goes to the helmet and says, I want that. And his first pitch gets taken away and turned into a ball. Next pitch, Byron Buxton hits the ball out of the park. And you're like, oh, boy. And then, as Layla said, he proceeded to then retire the next 18 straight men, and not flukishly. He really had terrific command. He looks good out there.
How did the White Sox offense contribute to the game?
Big, strong kid who apparently had a late growth spurt in his life, like watching the telecast last night.
Yeah, boomer damn sooner, dude.
Yeah, like later high school. He goes from 5'9 to what he is now, between 6'1 and 6'2, and it made life possible for him in Major League Baseball.
