joejoesox Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Have you ever seen a Sox team perform this badly? (To start a season, or in general) I've never seen anything like this. Started rooting for the Sox when I was 14 (1994-95), and regularly scoreboard watching in 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Mite Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) Too early to tell if they are as bad as the 1970 team that finished at 56-106. One thing is that this team is probably the most unlikeable bunch of stiffs I’ve seen since 1952 when I became a White Sox fan. I did vote that I’ve never seen anything like this because it just seems to me like these guys don’t care, a lot of talent going to waste.

Bob Sacamano Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Do we count the rebuilding years too or nah since that was intentional losing? Either way, this might be the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baseballgalaly Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 This is probably the worst team since 2013 but it remains to be seen if they lose 100 games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Sale, Quintana, Eaton and Abreu had actual talent that translated at the MLB level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 The Mets and Tigers had some real bad teams in the late 90s and early 00s. But I think they were trying to be bad. This is the absolute worst "we're trying to be good" bad team I've ever seen, in any sport. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Since I have not been able to watch many games lately, I'm not sure. But I will be sure to tune in and my answer will most likely be a YES. I do think this team seems to be coming to the ballpark believing they are going to lose that day. It sure does seem early to fire a guy who just got hired, but they do not play for Pedro. Whatever he did, the team was likeable under Renteria. These guys are not likeable and they are boring as hell. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 2013 was comically bad. It was like this, except it lasted for 6 months. This has to last for longer to match that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBooneLoganEra Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I dont know if it's the worst, but since the beginning of 2022 it's been my worst experience as a fan of this franchise. What is the worst is that this is the best that KW and Hahn can do so there is literally no hope. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppysox Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I don't know if this is the worst team but it surely is the most underperforming team compared to expectations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roncag Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I loathe this team. Everything about them. The way they are playing almost makes me smile, because maybe in some bizarro fashion, it will force change... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) Too early to vote, and I think they will play a bit better when TA/YM return and LH will help a lot. That said, I don't think this team is substantially better than the 2017 or 2019 tanking teams. This team reminds me most of 1976, with several talented players, some young, some at the end of the line, and just a bad season for most of them plus little to no depth which resulted in a 64-97 record. 1976 bWAR / Player (Career bWAR) 2.8 Rich Gossage (41.2) 2.4 Brian Downing (51.5) 1.1 Wilbur Wood (50.0) 0.6 Terry Forster (20.4) 0.4 Chet Lemon (55.6) 0.4 Bucky Dent (17.5) 0.3 Pete Vuckovich (16.4) -0.1 Minnie Minoso (53.2) Edited April 26 by South Side Hit Men 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing changes in this organization like....tomorrow, it is clear nooooobody running this gives a s%*#.

Jake Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Too soon to say worst, but it certainly is provoking a lot of apathy in me. BTW, does anyone else remember when Jacob May was our opening day leadoff hitter and then didn't get a hit for like 3 weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 This is definitely the worst because I have no hope for this core bouncing back or this org doing a rebuild. There is nothing here. I'm putting my fandom eggs in the bears, and that is the bleakest statement in the world, just behind "i'm putting my fandom eggs in the white sox" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 2009 at least had that sweet 27-10 run and buerhles perfect game. Then just a forgettable august/sept which was the typical kw team . 2001 really sucked, and it had the david wells crap so yeah that was rough.
