Sox have two starters rapidly approaching Mendoza Line: Alexi and Gordo. Wonder who gets there first?

Our second baseman is already there. Our catcher isn't far behind.

You forgot about Flowers, but I don't blame you; I try to pretend he doesn't exist either.

Looks like Beckham is winning that race. Both Alexi and Flowers have gotten a few hits recently; Gordo down to .203.

More than half of the starting lineup is hitting below .228. What a sad state for this offense. Worst in the league in multiple offensive categories.

5. Adam LaRoche .228

6. Alexei Ramirez .226

7. Gordon Beckham .203

8. Tyler Flowers .224

9. Carlos Sanchez .162

 

This is the bottom half of the lineup. I think it's safe to say this is the worst offensive White Sox team of my lifetime. The defense is pretty bad also.

They haven't scored 5 runs in a home game in 23 straight. That is their longest streak ever. It's really incredible as they do have some should be decent hitters on the team.

What's amazing is that we're 12-11 over that stretch. We haven't scored 5 runs in a home game since May 9th! That's incredibly bad.

And Alexei is the only one of those 5 guys that's a major surprise to be on that list.

Houston has low averages; but their low average hitters hit homers and doubles. Ours don't. And other than Abreu, our higher average hitters don't either.

And considering the Cell as a homer park, it's a major anchor.

Have we had a 3 run + homer since that Detroit game early on with Abreus gramdslam? Seems we can never get those big chunks.

That would require at least 2 men on base which is a rare sight for us

Hitting homeruns is also pretty rare for us

Well, don't worry about any of this. If you haven't heard, Kenny's taking responsibility for all of this, so we're good.
