![]() ![]() Now Anderson and Moncada are on the injured list, Rodón is a New York Yankee, and the start of Chicago’s season has been a disaster. The White Sox had just won a division title by 13 games, and Cease, Lucas Giolito, Carlos Rodón, Tim Anderson, Luis Robert, Eloy Jiménez and Yoán Moncada were all in their 20s. Two years ago, Chicago won 93 games and appeared to have pulled off a successful rebuild. Again, only Oakland has been worse in both those categories. The White Sox have struck out a lot of hitters, but they’ve also allowed 48 home runs and 124 walks. This season, he’s 2-1 with a 4.15 ERA, and as a team, Chicago’s pitching is a mess. Last year, Dylan Cease issued the most walks in the majors but still posted a 2.20 ERA and finished second in the Cy Young vote. In some ways, the White Sox are a reflection of their ace pitcher. ![]() The White Sox have already allowed at least 12 runs in a game five times. The White Sox pulled off a dramatic 12-9 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday, but they’d lost 10 in a row prior to that, and even after the victory they are 8-21.į gives Chicago just a 4% chance of making the playoffs, even in a manageable AL Central. Lay the bear on its back with its arms and legs outstretched. Those pitching woes are a big reason Chicago has been perhaps baseball’s most disappointing team to this point. Skin the bear hide to take as a trophy, if desired. The White Sox also have a team ERA of 5.96 - only Oakland is worse at the moment. The Chicago White Sox are showing so far that strikeouts aren’t everything.Ĭhicago’s pitching staff leads the major leagues with 10.17 strikeouts per nine innings. ![]()
