00:00What's up everybody, welcome inside the booth alongside Dan Plesak, Mr. Plesak shirt, I am John Schrifin, also known as John Sniffin.
00:08The White Sox fans are so creative, this has been so much fun this run we're on right now.
00:12It has, and in case you're wondering at home, it's a lie.
00:16Taking a bump today for Tampa Bay, Drew Rasmussen, the All-Star, going out there for his 20th start.
00:21Got a 2.86 on the ERA, 7-5 for the record, 77 punch-outs, it's just those 22 walks.
00:26Mike Talkman leads this team with a .281 batting average.
00:29And a swing and miss, hard stuff up that time, 97, and he throws it by Talkman.
00:35Here's Chase Meidroth coming up, a career-high four-hit night.
00:39And the ground ball, Caballero is at second base tonight for the Rays, and it's caught to a Ronda.
00:45Two up and two down, here is veteran Andrew Benintendi.
00:48And the pitch, swing, and a messy struck it out, a cutter down and in, and that's a tremendous first inning for Drew Rasmussen.
00:533-up, 3-down with a pair of swinging strikeouts.
00:55On the mound for the White Sox, coming off the 15-day, I.L. Davis-Martin.
00:59This will be his 15th game, 14 starts, 80 and two-thirds innings pitch, pretty good ERA of 3.79.
01:05And he faces speedy Chandler Simpson.
01:08Chopper to the right side with Martin covering the bag.
01:11He gets there in time to get the speedy Simpson.
01:14That was something.
01:15Boy, well played.
01:15P.F.P. pitchers fielding practice, you go over through this in spring training, pitchers in the middle infield.
01:20It's a really nice play by Miguel Vargas.
01:22It's the big strong Yandy Diaz, the D.H. here tonight, steps in, had a home run in the game last night.
01:262-2 pitch.
01:28Bouncer up the middle.
01:29It is Meidroth, it's short.
01:30And there's two away.
01:32Two down, here's Jonathan Aranda.
01:343-2.
01:35Called strike three.
01:37Changeup on the inside corner.
01:38Yeah, great pitch, 90 miles an hour, and it was a perfect strike for Davis Martin to finish the inning with.
01:43Well, starters look sharp in the first, nothing-nothing after one.
01:46Miguel Vargas leads off, the cleanup hitter against Drew Rasmussen.
01:49And a strike on the outside corner, you talk about pouring it in there.
01:53That's exactly what Drew Rasmussen did there to get Vargas.
01:56It's another perfect inning for Drew.
01:58Three up, three down at the end of one and one half.
02:00Chicago and the Rays are scoreless.
02:01It is back-to-back walks.
02:03Two on and nobody out for the Rays.
02:04And here is Big Magan after a day off.
02:07Swings at the first one.
02:08There's a ground ball to short.
02:10One at second, and that's all the Sox will get.
02:12Runners at the corners with one out, and here is the catcher Matt Weiss.
02:16And this one way up.
02:18And back below the bases, three walks in the inning.
02:21The Rays have it loaded with one out.
02:24So a big opportunity to do something significant here early in this game.
02:27Here is Camillero.
02:31Oops, a ball, a ball.
02:34Out of all of that, the Rays are going to get the first run at again.
02:36And Camillero coming in from third on the ball.
02:40The infill now all the way in with the Riders at second and third.
02:42And that's going to be a little looper into center, going to fall.
02:45One run would score.
02:46Megan across the plate.
02:47Banks would score.
02:48The ball loose on the throat of the plate.
02:51Camillero's going to go all the way to third.
02:53The Rays come up with two ball runs to make it three to nothing.
02:57And Camillero winds up at third base.
03:01This was more than ill-advised to throw this on play.
03:03He did not have a play.
03:04There was never going to be a play.
03:06And it's on to the count of the nine-hole hitter.
03:08That's a high chop right side.
03:10The play's going to be at first.
03:11Rays get another run.
03:13The Walls picks up his 33rd run bandit end of the year.
03:17The Rays make it a four-run game.
03:19Well, they've scored four runs on one hit in the inning.
03:22Drew Rasmussen back to the mound and a four-run lead.
03:25We go to the third.
03:27Oh, there's strike three.
03:28With every top of the zone.
03:30Sonson took that pitch pretty close.
03:33And a swing and miss.
03:3596th right by him.
03:37And that is five strikeouts.
03:38Eight batters in for Drew Rasmus.
03:39First hit of the ball game for the Sox.
03:41And it is Mike Tauchman with a stand-up double to start this fourth inning.
03:45Chase Meidroth.
03:47This one down the line and a fair ball.
03:50Tauchman.
03:51He will be waved in with the throw coming to second.
03:54Meidroth comes through again.
03:55And an RBI single.
03:57First run of the game for the Sox here in the fourth inning.
03:59It's four to one.
04:00He's at first.
04:01Or Benintendi.
04:02Benintendi rips the first pitch into right field.
04:04Meidroth with the big turn.
04:06He will stop at second.
04:07And that's three hits in a row this second time through the order.
04:11A nice adjustment by the White Sox bats.
04:13Take in outside.
04:14Ball four.
04:14And now the bases are loaded.
04:16Here's Edgar Carrow.
04:18Carrow.
04:19A loop in his center field.
04:20It'll be caught by Simpson.
04:22Tagging from third.
04:23Meidroth.
04:23He's coming in and he will score.
04:24So the Sox cut into the lead scoring another one.
04:28The sack fly RBI from Carrow.
04:30And that's what you like to see young players productive out.
04:33So four innings tonight for Drew Rasmussen.
04:3675 pitches and Lucetta gets the call.
04:39And a swing and miss.
04:41Come out in front.
04:42Second time tonight.
04:43Baldwin has gone out on strikes.
04:45And a cut and miss.
04:47Finished him off with 95.
04:48Lucetta holds a deliverer.
04:49Swing and a miss with a changeup.
04:50He strikes everybody out here in the fifth.
04:52Lucetta looking dominant here in the fifth inning.
04:54Inside ball four.
04:56Simpson draws a walk.
04:56And now we'll see if he tries to go.
04:59He's on the middle.
05:00Wave and miss.
05:00And the throw's going to run off in.
05:03Simpson steals it easily for the 28th time.
05:06And the Yandis backswing got Carrow.
05:08And so they're going to send him back to first.
05:11Simpson runs again.
05:12And a pitch way outside.
05:13Another throw to second.
05:14And he's stolen it again.
05:15A steal for Chandler Simpson.
05:18Checking for interference.
05:19There is none.
05:192-2 coming.
05:20Swing and a miss.
05:21Strike three.
05:22So Martin does get Diaz.
05:24They do not score.
05:25Brian Baker.
05:26The Weevil call to the bullpen.
05:27For the Rays is removed to the seventh.
05:28Colson Montgomery had a really good at bat in that last.
05:31Beating out a potential double play.
05:33Montgomery deep to right field.
05:35Back he goes.
05:36His first big league home run.
05:40An absolute no doubter coming here in Tampa.
05:43And the Sox only down by one now here in the seventh.
05:47Well, if you're going to hit your first one,
05:48you certainly don't want it to be a wall scraper.
05:51Oh.
05:51And they didn't give him the silent treatment.
05:55Congratulations, Colson Montgomery.
05:57You see why the White Sox are so excited about him.
05:59Big, strong.
06:00He's got a ton of power.
06:01A bottom of the eighth.
06:02Tim Bay on top of the Chicago White Sox.
06:04Chandler Simpson against fellow lefty Tyler Alexander.
06:07There's a base in.
06:08In the center field.
06:09Simpson's going to round first.
06:11And hang on there.
06:12This will be fun to watch.
06:13Runner goes.
06:14Pitches swung on a miss.
06:15Strike three.
06:15Thread a second.
06:16Not in time.
06:18Diaz strikes out for the first out in the eighth.
06:20But the Rays, Chandler Simpson,
06:21with his second steal of the night,
06:22his 29th of the year.
06:24There goes the runner to third.
06:26And there will be no throw
06:27since he steals second and third.
06:30His 30th steal, his third of the night.
06:332-2.
06:34Got him swinging.
06:36Chased out of the zone by Caminero
06:38for out number two.
06:39Weak ground ball back to Vassal.
06:41He'll run it over to the bag
06:42and get out of the jam.
06:43Stranding runners at first and third.
06:46And it'll set up the ninth inning.
06:47Sox down to one here in Tampa.
06:49No margin for Pete Fairbanks.
06:51He's got a 4-3 lead as we go to the ninth
06:52and hopefully bring us home a winner.
06:54And the Sox down to their final out of the ballgame.
06:57And it'll be up to the rookie,
06:58Colson Montgomery.
06:59I need a hero.
07:01You know that one.
07:02And a ground ball attached.
07:04A roundup.
07:04Will step on the bag
07:06and the Rays win it.
07:07A 1-2-3 ninth inning
07:08for Fairbanks to close it out.
07:11You know, Mr. Polisek,
07:12I thought I'd be a little more excited
07:13to learn that that pull-up will get washed
07:15and my nose would get a break,
07:16but I didn't want it to end.
07:17And the Rays have scored all four of their runs
07:19in the second inning.
07:21They make them stand up
07:22and win this game 4-3,
07:25their 53rd win of the year.
