White Sox pitcher Dylan Cease continued his incredible run Thursday afternoon. For the 14th consecutive start, he limited the opposition to one earned run or less.
Too bad he took the loss because he plays for the lackluster 2022 Sox.
Cease allowed one run (a solo homer) on three hits over six innings against the Kansas City Royals. Alas, the Sox didn't score for him, and he was trailing 1-0 when he left the game in the seventh inning.
The Sox bullpen stunk, allowing four runs over two innings in an eventual 5-3 loss.
With the defeat, the Sox fell back to .500 at 56-56. They lost three out of four in Kansas City. Sixteen games into this 19-game stretch against teams with losing records, the Sox are 8-8.
Is that on brand or what?
The Cleveland Guardians are on a five-game winning streak. They now lead the AL Central by 2.0 games over the Minnesota Twins and 3.5 games over the Sox.
I mentioned earlier this season that I haven't been blogging as much because I don't enjoy watching the Sox right now. In fact, I turned Thursday's game off with the Sox trailing 1-0 in the top of the seventh, after I saw Luis Robert dog it to first base on a grounder. He was out by a half-step and would have been safe if he had been running with full effort.
I'm tired of seeing crap like that. Really, the Sox are getting what they deserve. I spend most of my time laughing at their ineptness and laughing at the fans who thought the Rick Hahn rebuild would result in "competing for multiple championships."
The team is a mess.
