Feels like already a bit of an urgent situation for the 0-4 Twins after getting smashed in the series opener Monday -- but at least that means Minnesota didn't use any high-leverage relievers. How strange is MLB? Despite having traded top pitchers Garrett Grochet and Eric Fedde last summer, White Sox starting pitchers have not allowed an earned run in 23.0 IP through four games, tied for the longest season-opening streak in the major league since 1913. I would have given +100000 odds on that happening. It will surely end tonight when Shane Smith makes his MLB debut -- he's not among the Pale Hose's Top 20 prospects.

Break up the White Sox. I get it, but come on man. I know the Twins started ridiculously slow last year too, but Simeon Woods Richardson is a legit starter and the Pale Hose are starting a Rule V kid with 5 career appearances in AAA. I know Shane Smith had a great spring but the Twins need to get off the mat here.
