To be honest, after the 2018 Chicago White Sox got their “Kopech bump” and were among the hottest teams in baseball at the end of August, it seemed there would be no more editions of this series.
But, with a seven-game losing streak (within reach of the season-high of eight, back in June), this year’s club is again flirting with 100 losses (currently, the Hose are still tracking scant percentage points shy of the century mark).
There is some sentiment out there that this series is depressing. Believe me, I can’t wait to do a season-long study in 2019, comparing that club to other surprise 90-win White Sox teams, like 1990.
