Hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes. I didn't see a thread and the game is on WGN.

Silva is doing pretty well.

Really getting excited about the 2010 tyler colvin

Wow, I see everyone can't wait for the season to start!

 

Tyler Colvin has a single, triple and homer so far.

What it means to be a White Sox?

Should be interesting to see how Marmol does right now.

 

He threw 3 straight balls to start his outing, but 2 straight strikes since then.

Nice job Marmolade

Dempster pitched great today (Sunday) going 7 shutout innings. But doesn't 7 IP with 92 pitches seem extreme at this point?

Not really. This is basically a regular season start this go-around, in that the pitchers are encouraged to pitch as deep as they can and to treat it as close to a real game as they can. The next and final start is just a 2-3 inning tuneup to keep them on schedule for the regular season.

 

Also, Jake Peavy threw 112 pitches over 7 innings yesterday.

 

In a minor league game.

Good. Thanks.
