DoUEvenShift Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 CALL YOUR SONS, CALL YOUR DAUGHTERS, CALL YOUR FRIENDS, CALL YOUR NEIGHBORS! THE 2024 CHICAGO WHITE SOX HAVE WON A GAME!!!! 1 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 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.

Highland Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulie4Pres Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 The Sox get a win with loser Benitendi and Glue Factory Maldonado on the bench. Coincidence? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

The Grinder Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 If FanGraphs simulations factored in fan hatred for the management and ownership of teams, the Sox would be in the negative percentages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimpton Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a few blowouts, but the hitting is what is losing games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that there are useful pieces in this staff is a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
