What ’Cha Gonna’ Do?

Dr. Frankenstein created a monster. Chris Getz looks to have settled for a mere monstrosity. The new White Sox GM talked a lot about change this past offseason while trying not to say he was in rebuild mold. Instead, fans heard about the upcoming roster’s improved athleticism and defense. Oops. That defense must’ve been scared off by the eclipse in Cleveland yesterday afternoon. How often does a team register back-to-back three-error games? Well, the 2024 White Sox did on their way to a 4-0 loss at the hands of the first-place Guardians, and who was picking them for the top sport? Did I mention it was a shutout loss, the fourth in ten games, an organization first? Or that the team is now 1-9, one game better than in 1968, when they started the season 0-10? Or that the team batting average stands at .190, that after collecting all of four hits against five Cleveland pitchers? Only the Twins have a worse average in all of baseball, and that should change after they play the Sox the week after next. Speaking of change, what ’cha gonna do, Chris Getz? In case you hadn’t noticed, Andrew Vaughn, yesterday’s cleanup hitter, is batting .171. I saw Vaughn taking pitches in the strike zone as if he were hypnotized. Vaughn looks lost; so does most every hitter on the team. Leaders lead, Mickey Mouse talks. Sad that Getz can’t tell the difference.
