3-8 in the lineup actually with decent offensive numbers right now. It's Sosa Anderson and Benintendi with the worst stats. Anderson had something like the highest rolling MLB batting average over a 3-4 year period heading into the 2022 season. Pretty incredible.

Sox killer Hernandez in...

one of the worst W/L records of any pitcher in Sox history with that kind of stuff

Anderson .624 Benintendi .644 after two hits

Kelenic is clearly an improved player and will provide fantasy value with homers and steals, but it’s safe to expect his batting average to continue to drop. Pitchers have adjusted to him, throwing far more breaking balls and fewer fastballs since the end of last month, and his K% has spiked as a result. We are still dealing with small samples, and Kelenic will adjust to the adjustments, but he’s batting .204/.264/.286 with zero homers and 18 strikeouts (34.0 K%) over this span (49 ABs). THE BAT X projects Kelenic to hit .236 over the rest of the season. Yahoo fantasy sports

Just have to wait for the Rays to end up with Kopech...

They're only ahead of Oakland for run differential. Lost a lot of ground head to head this week. Promise of Sunday's win has practically evaporated.

Started down the stretch in 2005. That crazy game they were way ahead... you woke up the next day and were absolutely stunned they had managed to lose.

Especially Robert in 2019-20. And the tide really shifted on the "we don't even need that Machado guy" pretty quickly. Plus, Machado had long periods of offensive struggle that first year in SD as well. Looking back on that Kopech debut every Sox fan watched...maybe that was the first real gut punch, just as much as trade deadline 2021 or, prior to that, losing Game 3 and Crochet against the A's in the first round.

Don't forget Charles Johnson...

"Going into 2021, the rotation would be Giolito, Wheeler, Kopech (second full season), Cease (second full season), and either Rodon or Dunning. To me, that’s potentially an awesome rotation." Rick Hahn likes this post. Theoretical plans have to count for something...

2014-15 seems more like 15 years ago with how bad that KC organization has become…especially on the pitching front.

Royals: Steer Brady Singer back on track Singer, the Royals’ first-round Draft pick in 2018, had a breakout 2022 season with a 3.23 ERA across 153 1/3 innings. The start to '23 hasn’t been as smooth. The 26-year-old has an 8.82 ERA entering Thursday’s start against the White Sox, with a 1.60 WHIP. He’s allowed the most runs (33) in baseball, and hitters are crushing his fastball with a .338 average against Singer’s most-used pitch. Royals pitching must take a step forward this season as the club evaluates what they have in their system. That includes seeing other homegrown pitchers improving like Singer did last season. Now it also includes getting Singer back on that same path.-- Anne Rogers mlb.com

That's all fine and good if this was a reggae music site lol. Might be seeing Cannon pitching at the rate things are going... but they probably don't want to lose that extra year of control.

Bring back Matty "Best Hair" Davidson...he could potentially be effective.

30. Oakland -142 29. CHW -67 28. Miami -54 (but somehow 19-19) 27. KC -53 26. Cincy -36 25. Detroit -34 (17-19) Bonus embarrassment points for the Cardinals having the same 13-25 record as the White Sox. They miss the playoffs about once a decade, lol.

Pasquantino playing the former role of Sal Perez in this series...

First homer of the season. Of course it is.

Any good Massey stories yet? Seems the WBC curse wiped out their other "feel good" local story in Nicky Lopez...

Who could ever possibly have imagined Eloy hurt and Colas struggling?

It's the devil's magic. Waterboy Kathy Bates

They need to go with the cotton uniforms, maybe? Former Sox slugger Danny Tartabull suggests it.

830 pm dinner reservations...

Well, something like $60 million less of a financial investment...and he was courteous enough to leave when clearly unhappy in the Midwest, saving the Sox money. At least until Hahn then reallocated it to Benintendi.

Someone was excusing it away with a hand injury? Any reports? Past injury in Boston/KC/NY?
