Lance Lynn has an interesting Chicago White Sox debut
It was a very risky move made when the Chicago White Sox traded Dane Dunning to the Texas Rangers in exchange for their ace, Lance Lynn. He has been one of the best pitchers in the entire American League for the past five seasons. The White Sox knew that they needed a really good third pitcher so they went out and got someone better than good. Lynn deserves to be considered one of the league’s best based on his recent history.
Lance Lynn had a very interesting first start of 2021 for the Chicago White Sox.
Lynn came in for the third start of the game. The defense wasn’t very good around him so two runs scored while he was on the mound but neither were considered an earned run. He allowed six hits and two walks which are less than ideal but he also recorded six strikeouts. All of this came in 4.2 innings. Lynn is used to getting more work than that but he certainly will over time.
It was a very interesting start for his first start of the season. He had flashes of what he might be able to do throughout the season in larger increments. There will certainly be lots of times where he has dominant performances and this was a good start. The fact that it can get better than that is very good news.
Lynn is going to be heavily relied on to take care of business every fifth game. This has the potential to be a good rotation that can go deep in the playoffs. The defense behind him and the bullpen is going to clean it up so a performance like that will be really good as the season progresses.

They ended up losing the game because of those issues so Lynn will have to wait for his first win in a White Sox uniform. It would have been nice to see them hold off the Los Angeles Angels but the winning will come. It is good knowing that Lynn will be out there a whole bunch more this season.
