#goodmorning Happy #OpeningDay to all who observe. Today, the White Sox are undefeated and in 1st Place. And that’s all that matters. #WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/K0ejDihpCy

Um, yeah, the “new era” sure looks a lot like the old ...
HAPPY OPENING DAY #WhiteSox FANS! Today starts a new era of baseball on the South Side! ⚾ #DETvsCHW #MLBOpeningDay #SouthSideOrDie #SoxSide #SoxPride pic.twitter.com/0H788RMOcI

The fan base seems pretty unconvinced as well ...

Truth be told, same. I’m just happy baseball is back!
— Eloy (@EloyGarcia84) March 28, 2024
OK, let’s do this!
And by do this, I certainly mean not get completely embarrassed like they did in the 2023 home opener ...
The new guy seems nice and I hope he does well, but damn I miss Jason Benetti.

Garrett Crochet's Disgusting Stuff. pic.twitter.com/JI7Z7b5TJ5

Fifteen pitch perfect first for Crochet. Two strikeouts. Good slider this afternoon.
— Daryl Van Schouwen (@CST_soxvan) March 28, 2024
i love crochet so much
— Chrystal O’Keefe (@chrystal_ok) March 28, 2024
Crochet good, Sox bats, not so much ...

Hey, at least Eloy hit it in the air. I am looking for the positive. #WhiteSox

White Sox offensive ineptitude on full display early in the one:
Rough bottom of the 1st for Sox hitters.
— CHGO White Sox (@CHGO_WhiteSox) March 28, 2024
Benintendi struck out, Moncada popped out early in the count, Robert Jr. reached on a dribbler, and Eloy popped out.
Let's see what Crochet can do...

The Martin Maldonado classic

and the White Sox getting runners on, but not being able to move them over/score them classic pic.twitter.com/nJFMAT7qTK
Just as everyone predicted:
Maldonado had problems catching Crochet in AZ, and he’s having problems now.

White Sox offense doing White Sox things early. #whitesox

The king never misses:
F.A.S.T. inning
— Tyrone (@TheTyronePalmer) March 28, 2024
Completely believable:
Listening to Chris Getz being interviewed in the booth, even he sounds like he doesn't believe his own bullshit. #WhiteSox
— seventytwo (@RichinGlynn) March 28, 2024
At least Crochet is looking the part:
Garrett Crochet has been very good through five innings.
— Kevin Powell (@kpowell720) March 28, 2024
5 IP 5 H 1 ER 0 BB 7 K
He's at 76 pitches and I don't see anyone warming up. #WhiteSox
Pale Hose grindy new editions, however, are scoreless through five ...
Five innings and #whitesox haven't touched second base
— Luis Anguiano (@pinoanguiano) March 28, 2024
Meanwhile in Miami ...

Opening Day and peak White Sox game management:
HE’S BACK OUT THERE TO START THE 6th https://t.co/OpukzNa2qu
— CHGO White Sox (@CHGO_WhiteSox) March 28, 2024
Crochet 12 starts since grade school approaching 80 pitches no one up in the pen so glad the White Sox have adopted such high baseball IQs
— South Side Sox (@SouthSideSox) March 28, 2024
Crochet has been really good, but his mound counterpart has been better:
Tarik Skubal, 99mph ⛽️
— Rob Friedman (@PitchingNinja) March 28, 2024
And backpedal K strut. pic.twitter.com/DK4dWLJriJ
But it also might have something to do with the utter ineptitude of the Pale Hose offense ...
F.A.S.T. three hard-hit balls, three hits in five innings loving F.A.S.T. baby all day all night#FAST
— South Side Sox (@SouthSideSox) March 28, 2024
All things considered, a pretty stellar start for Crochet, but he leaves trailing 1-0.
Garrett Crochet today:
— Vinnie Parise (@VinnieParise) March 28, 2024
6.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 8 Ks
Magnificent performance for him. Hopefully, he is a great #WhiteSox starter for a long time!
Garrett Crochet will be the first pitcher to win a Cy Young on a team that wins only 50 games.
— A Broken Fan (@WriteSox) March 28, 2024
Apropos:
That’s one way to look at it
— jacki (@zombie_jacki) March 28, 2024
Here comes the 8th inning and #whitesox haven't had a Risp
— Luis Anguiano (@pinoanguiano) March 28, 2024
Vaughn strikes out on a pitch timer violation.
— Daryl Van Schouwen (@CST_soxvan) March 28, 2024
The White Sox are on pace for a 0 run 162 game season.

Bats are frigid. #WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/Ucmb1rYl3S

Yeah ...
DeJong’s strikeout streak is over!
— kindableu.bsky.social (@kindableu) March 28, 2024
Progress I guess?
That entire inning felt like a good time to send a pinch-hitter up there. What a lineup.
— A Broken Fan (@WriteSox) March 28, 2024
Murderers Row. Gotta love all of that grindy, culture-changing baseball IQ ...
NO WHITE SOX PLAYER HAS REACHED SECOND BASE
— South Side Sox (@SouthSideSox) March 28, 2024
to be fair they have barely reached first base
— South Side Sox (@SouthSideSox) March 28, 2024
Gonna be a looooong year#WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/xFHuV8HG6l

Yup
In what game will the #WhiteSox score their first run?
— Rep. Jack Kimble (Pre Malone) (@RepJackKimble) March 28, 2024
The mysteries abound ...
Was losing slightly less ugly the improvement they were hoping for?
— Ryiin (@rfoto) March 28, 2024
Pale Hose lose, 1-0. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Get used to it, Sox fans, it’s gonna be a long brutal season ...
