For a while in Monday night’s 12-2 trashing of the Baltimore Orioles, it seemed the Chicago White Sox offense — though launching the ball in the air — wouldn’t get off of the ground.
It was a slow start against a bad pitcher in David Hess, even with the multiple fly outs. The first base hit for the team came in the third inning, via a single from Yolmer Sánchez. The real unfortunate thing for the Sox in the first four innings was the inability to capitalize on meatball pitches from Hess. Meanwhile, the same kind of things were happening with Manny Bañuelos.
