There’s not much surprising about the Houston Astros coming to South Side and blowing out the White Sox in back-to-back games. These are the defending champions, one of if not the best team in baseball, flexing their muscles against a White Sox team in the thick of a rebuild.
But while the past two games have been ugly — the White Sox have been outscored 20-1 and out-hit 26-6 — this isn’t exactly a phenomenon that just popped up this weekend.
The White Sox have been outplayed ever since they left Kansas City at the close of March.
