not much point in starting a new thread for the 2024 white sox. here is the expected rotation:

have to say, crochet as the opening day starter does not bode well.

this is getting very dark
currently on pace to be outscored by 550 runs

truly a dreadful team. they were going to be bad but then robert, jimenez and moncada all immediately got injured

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.

feel awful for (canadian!) RHP mike soroka
so many injuries, and now things are becoming brutal while playing for this awful team
― mookieproof, Sunday, 21 April 2024 01:09 (one week ago) link
43 runs scored in 20 games; the '68 White Sox (463 runs for the season) scored 45 in their first 20.

(Soroka deserved to win in one of his five starts; he's been pretty bad otherwise.)

I mentioned on another thread that the Astros (a consensus preseason top 3 pick to win the world series) are only 3.5 games ahead of the CWS... yikes.

The Astros this year are such a weird mix of extremes.
