White Sox Made Embarrassing Mistake Against Tigers.
Every time things appear to be improving for the Chicago White Sox, the team does something to remind the world why they are the worst team in baseball, halting any momentum that had been developing.
The conclusion of yesterday night’s game may have been the most dismal example of all.
With two outs in the top of the ninth inning and Paul DeJong on first, Andrew Benintendi hit a routine fly ball to deep centre field, and DeJong took off running because he thought there were two outs, only to be easily doubled off first base by Matt Vierling’s casual throw back to the infield.
It was the most White Sox-like manner to lose a game, and the broadcasters were shocked, saying “and the White Sox have yet another play that typifies their season” before adding “how in the world does this happen?”.
Chicago has now lost three in a row and scored only seven runs in the last four games, as the Sox remain lowest in practically every significant offensive category.
It’s a tough start to a series, and the setback drops the squad to 7-32 on the road this season.
Drew Thorpe will make his second start for Chicago on Saturday against Tigers starter Kenta Maeda, who has an ERA of 6.02 in 12 appearances and has allowed 17 runs in 20.2 innings over his previous six.
What’s is Reinsdorf waiting on freaking fire 🔥 Pedro Grifol and fire CHRIS GETZ -General Manager, and Bench DeJong , and or the players aren’t performing on the field. This is a embarrassing 😳 team to watch.
