The White Sox are in Cleveland tonight. The question of who would start today was brought up yesterday, and Jimmy Lambert is the guy.
Sox inform that Jimmy Lambert will start tonight’s series-opening game in Cleveland, seeming to indicate a planned bullpen day.

Quick vibe check before we get started. I don’t know how I feel about any of this.
White Sox have won three straight, five of six, eight of 12 and 12 of 20.

They're 19-29 going into 7-game road trip in Cleveland and Detroit.
Replacements have arrived.
Prior to tonight’s series opener at Cleveland, the #WhiteSox recalled RHP Jesse Scholtens from Class AAA Charlotte. Scholtens takes the roster spot of right-hander Mike Clevinger, who was placed on the 15-day IL yesterday (retroactive to 5/18) with right wrist inflammation.

I know I don’t enjoy this.
Just remembered that Jose Ramirez is back playing for this series ...

Jimmy has himself a clean first inning.

Lambert’s night was ... short.
Jimmy Lambert’s spin as the Sox’ opener done after a 20-pitch first inning. Jesse Scholtens takes over for the bottom of the second.
— Vinnie Duber (@VinnieDuber) May 22, 2023
Same.
Jimmy Lambert’s usage continues to puzzle me.
— White Sox Truther (@SamR33v3s) May 22, 2023
His name is Jesse Scholtens.
ALERT!!! There is an imposter Giolito on the mound for the @whitesox pic.twitter.com/5yWjO91nZs

Apparently there were casualties in the second inning.
RIP THAT BIRD

Wild pitch offense works in Cleveland’s favor, for the first run of the game.
fahk

Expected nothing less.
— Yoan MonGODa (@LaloCWS16) May 22, 2023
Neither have done anything through three innings, but interesting stat to say the least.
Luis Robert and Jake Burger are responsible for 16 of the 26 HR the Sox have hit at home this season.
— A Broken Fan (@WriteSox) May 22, 2023
No, this is a man with a 6.86 ERA who’s faced the minimum through three.
Is this a bearded Cy Young on the mound for Cleveland? Goodness.

Steven Kwan gets doubled off after Andrew Benintendi makes a snag in left.
Kwan wants to be a Sox so bad, you can see it in his baserunning
— Limbo (@Lymb0) May 22, 2023
Then, he hits a double to get the offense going with one out.
BBBBenny and THE JETS
— Jacklyn Hilligoss (@JackHill43) May 22, 2023
It was not. He popped out to end the inning.
This Gavin Sheets three run bomb is too predictable
— Steven Kwan Extension Enthusiast (@TheKwanFather) May 22, 2023
Just a reminder Lambert only pitched one inning, but in the end it doesn’t even matter.
I’d like to contribute to the jimmy lambert discourse but I won’t because one day we’ll wake up and this will all just be a dream
— Celeste Spaghetti (Dong Bong Edition) (@C_Spaghett1) May 22, 2023
Yaz is not a happy camper.
Whatever person on the crew at NBC Sports Chicago that had them replay Yaz dropping an f-bomb deserves a raise.

No runs for the Good Guys after five innings.
The good news is… Cleveland is still struggling offensively. The bad news is… the White Sox are currently not hitting Hunter Gaddis. So there is that.
— Courtney Finnicum (@courtney883) May 22, 2023
Cleveland only has one run, so.

We hit five home runs off of Hunter Gaddis last season. Zero tonight.
It’s literally Hunter Gaddis. https://t.co/VQrrKgJuYQ
— Nick (@Nick_BPSS) May 22, 2023
We’re asking nicely.
If y’all would like to put some offense together that would be fun #WhiteSox
— paige (@paigeyb88) May 22, 2023
Scholtens is a real dude and he has pitched five innings of one run ball.
We get 6 innings of 1 run ball from a dude I’ve never heard of. How about scoring a few?
— John Totura (@JETotura) May 22, 2023
I’m still not entirely convinced that Jesse Scholtens is a real person but this has been a good effort from him tonight.
— Mike (@ChiSoxFanMike) May 22, 2023
I love strikeouts looking. ESPECIALLY when the pitch has the entire plate. Maybe our catcher needs glasses.
What are you looking at, Yaz??
— Kindableu (@kindableu) May 22, 2023
Pedro Grifol puts Gregory Santos in to play the matchup, and it does not work in his favor. Cleveland is up, 3-0.
And this ballgame is ova
— Herb Lawrence (@Ecnerwal23) May 23, 2023
Zunino hitting .178. How does this always happen to these guys? lmao
— Where is Jon Jay? (@JonWhere) May 23, 2023
Yeah man right lefty splits matter soOoOoOo much
— stoop kiid (@stoopkiid93) May 23, 2023
Eight innings and no runs for the White Sox. I am bored.

He may have three strikeouts tonight, but he did make a nice play to get the second out in the bottom of the eighth.

That was unfun.
The White Sox just forget how to play baseball in Cleveland.

See you tomorrow, friends.
