If that was the Jeff Samardzija Era, it wasn't much of one

Neither the White Sox nor the pitcher got what they wanted out of 2015

Jeff Samardzija said he couldn't quite get a grasp of his mechanical issues until the end of the season. The same can be said for his effectiveness against the Royals.

Prior to stifling Kansas City over seven innings on Tuesday, Samardzija's most triumphant moment in was his bowling over of Royals third-base coach Mike Jirschele during the brawl back in April. He lost to them on Opening Day, lost to them in July, and lost once more in August.
