The Chicago White Sox have dropped four straight (before Sunday’s game), and quite honestly the club looks a lot worse than their 8-13 record indicates. This is a team that ranks toward the bottom of the league in most offensive categories, including an MLB league-worst 64 runs scored. Their slugging percentage is woeful at .345, good for 26th in baseball.
The point is this team needs a spark, and that’s obviously not going to come from the so-called leadership facets currently in place. But Robin Ventura‘s inability to stop listless play in his four years on the South Side is another matter entirely, and if poor play persists, one that I’ll certainly discuss down the road.
