If you thought the Chicago White Sox were incapable of setting records this season, think again, bub.
The 2018 club is now, unequivocally, the worst team in White Sox history, at least through 36 games. The 1948 team, which this year’s Chicago 9 had been tied with for worst through 35 games, finished 51-101 (.336), which is 54-108 on a 162-game schedule. The 1948 Hose featured as its best player a 41-year-old third baseman by the name of Luke Appling. His WAR that year was 3.4; the offense’s total was 3.2 — meaning that the sum WAR of every other offensive player on the team was -0.
