April 17, 20242 yr CALL YOUR SONS, CALL YOUR DAUGHTERS, CALL YOUR FRIENDS, CALL YOUR NEIGHBORS! THE 2024 CHICAGO WHITE SOX HAVE WON A GAME!!!!
April 18, 20242 yr 50% right. But betting on a sweep was a bridge too far. Btw, only third time in Sox history (once was around turn of the century) that two consecutive rookie starters went out to the bump for the Palehose.
April 18, 20242 yr Should have won both games. Pitching has not been that bad. If offense picks it up, they might win two in a row. Keep Sheets in the lineup.
April 18, 20242 yr The Sox get a win with loser Benitendi and Glue Factory Maldonado on the bench. Coincidence? No.

If these guys could even be league average with hitting they probably would be at .500 with how decent the pitching has been, unfortunately they put out the worst offense ever assembled. I don't care how good your defense is, if you can't hit the fucking ball you're not going to score runs, and your product will not be interesting. Edited April 18, 20242 yr by ScootsMcGoots
April 18, 20242 yr Maybe just maybe if we can get our position players to start hitting and our pitching keeps performing we can still sneak in to a wild card... I'm delusional

Why do people keep thinking our pitching has been decent? It hasn’t been. 25th in ERA, 26th in WHIP, walking too many people not striking out enough people.

April 18, 20242 yr If FanGraphs simulations factored in fan hatred for the management and ownership of teams, the Sox would be in the negative percentages.

I'm delusional You just know that if the position players start hitting the pitching will fall off a cliff! But we can but hope that a miracle occurs.
April 18, 20242 yr What was the attendance for these 2 games? Where do they publish the figures? I just watched the highlights and the stadium looked empty but for a few hardy souls.
April 18, 20242 yr I bet Nostradamus talked about himself in the first person, just like greg. But Nostradamus doesn’t have s%*# on greg. Edited April 18, 20242 yr by WhiteSox2023

There have been a few blowouts, but the hitting is what is losing games.

Considering this is a trash heap rotation/bullpen and that the stats skew comes primarily from a few guys, I have no problem being impressed with what this pitching staff has done as a whole.

Sure, they aren't as embarrassing as the hitting has been. I guess we can take a small victory lap on that so far.

Anyone with even a basic understanding of baseball can see what was left in this pitching staff post Cease. The fact that there are useful pieces in this staff is a win.
