truly a dreadful team. they were going to be bad but then robert, jimenez and moncada all immediately got injured
― na (NA), Monday, 15 April 2024 20:28 (two months ago) link
I love following anything extreme, so glad you pointed this out--wow!
-- going into tonight's game, they'd hit eight home runs as a team; no one over two-- seven of nine regulars between .069 and .222 (not much different than the Jays, actually)-- .200/.273/.310 as a team-- they look as hapless offensively as the '68 White Sox, who I often mention
This says as much about me as them, but of their 12 pictured WAR leaders on BRef, the only guy I know is Kevin Pillar. I see they have at least one good pitcher, Garret Crochet--maybe someone can nab him in a trade.
Tonight: shut out on four singles.

Two of those teams, the '69 Astros and '73 Cards, managed to finish at 81-81. Farther down the list, the '86 Reds and '96 Red Sox started 6-19 and finished with 86/85 wins.

The Astros this year are such a weird mix of extremes.
― clemenza, Friday, 26 April 2024 04:40 (one month ago) link
White Sox blew a 5-1 lead to the Cubs tonight: 13 losses in a row, 15-47. That puts them on pace to finish 39-123, one game worse than the '62 Mets.
They're even worse when you remove their two good starters, Croche and Fedde. (Sounds like some kind of niche store in a pricey mall.) Those two guys are 9-6 with a combined ERA ~ 3.25; they're 6-41 otherwise. Not sure of their record in games started by those two.
No way they both finish the season in Chicago--guessing they'll trade Fedde, who's six years older.

Passan said they’re also interested in trading Luis Robert Jr, who I think is rehabbing rn.

robert has been back for a couple of days. they have him under contract for a few more years so he might not get traded.

Yeah they have him under a really nice deal but they would likely get a good haul of prospects for him for a rebuild if they traded him. They have some high ranked prospects but some aren’t close to ready and the rest of the farm seems to be pitching heavy so they might decide to fill up their farm that way to accelerate the process.https://www.mlb.com/prospects/top100/
