The Value of a Walk

The White Sox and Indians waited three hours to resume play, and it was all White Sox the rest of the way. The South Siders demolished reliever Fernando Cabrera and went on to a 10-4 drubbing of the Indians. The White Sox scored all their runs in four consecutive innings (3-6), and each one of those innings started with a walk. The White Sox were 11th in the AL in walks in 2005, but drew nine last night. That's a good sign for the offense if they can keep that up.

Note Brandon McCarthy's excellent relief work as well. Coming in after the delay, Brandon threw three perfect innings, striking out two. He gives the White Sox important depth if a starter gets injured.

New acquisition Jim Thome contributed a home run and two walks. It's like he was never injured.
