The White Sox have been shut out in eight of their first 22 games this season. That's a Major League Baseball record for futility.
If you've been following the media coverage of this pathetic team, you probably heard that stat in the wake of Monday's 7-0 loss to the Minnesota Twins.
But there's another pattern emerging here:
- March 28, 1-0 loss vs. Detroit
- April 1, 9-0 loss vs. Atlanta
- April 8, 4-0 loss at Cleveland
- April 15, 2-0 loss vs. Kansas City
- April 19, 7-0 loss at Philadelphia
- April 22, 7-0 loss at Minnesota
What do these games have in common? They were all the first game of a series.
The Sox have played eight series so far in 2024. They've been shut out in six of the eight openers. What about the other two, you ask?
- April 4, 10-1 loss at Kansas City
- April 12, 11-1 loss vs. Cincinnati
Add it all up, and the Sox are 0-8 in the first game of a series. They have been outscored in those eight games, 51-2.
That almost seems made up, doesn't it? Are these guys even prepared to play when a new series begins?
The Sox are 3-19. There are 140 more games of this crap remaining.
