Twilight Zone

There’s a signpost up ahead that says the White Sox are entering the Twilight Zone. How do I know? Because, for the first time in team history, Sox batters recorded twenty or more hits in the same series. Yesterday, it was twenty hits in a 10-2 beatdown of the pretty hapless A’s. A.J. Pollock and Andrew Vaughn led the way with four hits each while Eloy Jimenez and Josh Harrison both managed three. Elvis Andrus hit a three-run homerun and now has twenty RBIs in eighty-nine at-bats for his new team. All in all, these are hot Sox. That goes for the pitching, too. Lance Lynn went six innings for the win, giving up two runs, neither earned. Which gives me an opening to complain; I am, after all, a Sox fan. Harrison made two errors at second base, resulting in both unearned runs. On the season, Harrison has been charged with eleven errors, eight at second and three at third base. That, my friends, is way too many. Romy Gonzalez has yet to make an error in fourteen games at second base and two at shortstop. He’s batting .333 with ten RBIs in sixty at-bats. There’s your future. Play him.
