You knew this would happen sooner or later.
The White Sox reported today that McCarthy will likely start next Tuesday's opener against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. The Sox should have started McCarthy last night against the Angels. Instead they brought up a young knuckleballer, Charlie Haeger, who proved he was not quite ready for prime time. He was erratic and walked six batters in four innings. When he left the game, the Sox were losing 6-0.
Enter McCarthy who was brilliant in four innings of work. He shut down the Angels, which allowed the White Sox to get back into the game. The score was 6-5 going into the ninth inning. Alas, the Sox bullpen imploded again for the second time in a week, and the Sox lost 12-5.
For Haeger's fine effort, the Sox sent him back down to Triple A today.
