For opening day, we have a day off tomorrow, so we'll announce it today will be crochet.

Crochet is going to be our opening day starting.

Very shocked, to say the least.

I heard I had some exciting news for me and I thought it was just that I made the rotation.

But for this to happen, you know, I don't want to say I'm expected, because like I said,

I knew I was put together a good string of outings, but very humbling.

We'll talk about a spring training shocker, Garrick Crochet, who has not started in a game since college and came into camp seemingly as a long shot to make the rotation, is named the White Sox opening day starter.

Hey, everybody, it's Chuck Arfine.

This is the White Sox Talk podcast, brought to you by WinTrust.

So what is behind the White Sox decision to not just make Crochet a starter, but have him take the mound opening day against the Tigers.

On the podcast, we're going to get Crochet's reaction to the surprising news.

And he'll explain why he thinks he's better suited to be a starter than a reliever right now.

Even though he's only thrown 25 innings in the majors and minors the last two seasons coming off Tommy John's surgery.

Plus, Peter Giffroll will talk about Garrett's workload, how they're going to manage his innings, and the announcement, very few, if any, sock coming.
