Did I Say Half-full?


After last night’s 5-1 sleeper of a loss to Detroit, the White Sox record stands at 8-9, fourth-best in the AL Central Division.  In case you’re wondering, they’re one game out of the cellar.

 

The record would be tolerable in a 162-game season, which this is not.  Luis Robert going 3 for 19 comes out to around 7 for 45, non-COVID.  I won’t even bother to tally up the strikeouts.

 

Dallas Keuchel took the loss and called out his teammates, saying in today’s The Athletic “we’ve got some guys going through the motions.”  Yes, but not Danny Mendick, who had a three-hit night with a run-scoring triple.  Otherwise, you guys know who you are.

 

Me, I keep seeing Ozzie Guillen pop up on “studio updates” and think, Hmm, he might look good in the Sox dugout.  If Rick Renteria doesn’t wake his players up and soon, a whole lot of people are going to feel the same way, and that’s if they already don’t.
