Hahn went all in on yet another Royal and has a .649 OPS to show for spending $75M on the world’s richest White Sox.

 

 

 

Actually, it’s been that kind of season for the White Sox and even with the Royals (10-26) struggling mightily, it might not get better at Kauffman. The White Sox are 18-21 against the Royals since the start of the 2021 season, including a 9-12 ledger in Kansas City, after going 9-1 vs. them in the 2020 pandemic-shortened season.
 

….

“It was definitely one that got away from us,” said White Sox designated hitter Andrew Vaughn.

“This was a tough one. We accomplished some things that we wanted to get accomplished, which was to get ahead in the count,” Grifol said. “But when we got them on two strikes, we just couldn't put them away. They got about seven hits with two strikes; three extra-base hits including a homer and a couple doubles. That was the game, right there.”

…..

“I was throwing in the zone much better. Just working through some things right now, but I think it’s close,” Cease said. “I need to kind of hunker down with my slider. I’ve been backing them up and not getting the consistency that I need. And it really comes down to executing. I feel like I’m on a good track right now, we’ve made some good improvements the last 10 days or so. We’ve had a lot of focused work. Just got to keep feeling the process. The results are disappointing.”

 

Unfortunately all of that excitement came from a small group of White Sox fans about eight rows up from the team’s dugout shortly after it was announced the Blackhawks received the No. 1 pick in the NHL Draft. Connor Bedard, make your plans for Chicago.

To Jerry, Rick and Kenny!

Well the good news is that accountability isn’t the issue here.

Imagine how much worse it would be if accountability was what was the issue.

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.
