Not Ready for Prime Time

Last night in the bottom of the second inning against the Guardains, White Sox starter Davis Martin gave up a two-run homerun to C.J. Kayfus, who came into the game batting an even .200. Wait, there’s more. In the bottom of the eighth with the Sox down 2-1, Sox reliever Fraser Ellard grooved a pitch to pinch-hitter Jhonkensy Noel. And Noel’s batting average at the time? A less-than-robust .146. That, my friends, is how you lose a game 3-1 and the kind of game you lose on the road to accumulating 92 losses on the season, and counting.
