When the Chicago White Sox were on route to a 3-22 start, their offense was truly hard to watch. The White Sox were held scoreless eight times in that stretch, and they were held to either one or two runs another seven times.
Kansas City Royals fans gleefully enjoyed the schadenfreude of watching the White Sox flounder at the plate so much. One big part of why they’ve been so is because they employ a lot of toothless hitters. Nicky Lopez, Paul DeJong, Kevin Pillar, and Martin Maldonado have been among the worst hitters at their respective positions over the last four or so years, and the White Sox employ all at once.
