Not sayin, simply sayin: Nick Castellanos is 6-16 with a double, a homer, and a walk against Keuchel for his profession. That most likely will not matter this season, though? The Cubs are only playing the White Sox in … 10% of their routine season video games.
Alright. Lets go, Cubs.

Even still … I d like to beat the White Sox tonight.
Yu Darvish would likewise like to beat the White Sox in his last start before the regular season– hell pitch next on Saturday versus Milwaukee. Hell deal with a lineup filled with South Side regulars at their house ballpark and offer his at-bats away to Kyle Schwarber, the DH.
Dallas Keuchel, among the many totally free agents signed by the White Sox this past offseason, will begin opposite Darvish, though he wont likely face the two people whove had one of the most experience against him: 3rd catcher Josh Phegley (4-22, 3Ks) and second baseman Jason Kipnis (7-24, 4Ks). Steven Souza Jr., batting 5th and playing left field, is 2-7 versus Keuchel with a strikeout and a walk and Anthony Rizzo, whos not playing yet, is 2-7 with a homer and a walk.
