If you have watched any games the Chicago White Sox have played this year, you may have noticed that they generate no offense. Only a few games have brought them a decent number of runs. Otherwise, they are stuck without winning games because they can\u2019t score runs. It\u2019s tough for the team and their fans.<\/p>\n
You can\u2019t win if you don\u2019t score.<\/p>\n
The Sox are a team in transition. Their manager is only a year into managing at the level he\u2019s managing at. Most of his coaching staff is new this year, and the White Sox have many new players. There was an expected dip, but not one of this magnitude.<\/p>\n
The White Sox are a bad team and don\u2019t appear to be getting any better.<\/p>\n
The White Sox find a new way to lose a game just about every day they play. Sometimes, they look like they are cruising to a victory only to be derailed by their opponent or themselves. At times, they get completely blown out. Sometimes, they score one run; other times, they don\u2019t. With such poor offense and low scoring, the White Sox must rely on their shaky pitching.<\/p>\n
Now, their pitching isn\u2019t terrible by any means, but they need help from their offense, and they aren\u2019t getting it. The offense is stalled, and the guys can\u2019t seem to get the ball into a good spot to allow others to score. The White Sox are ranked dead last in many offensive categories. This just goes to show their futility and struggle.<\/p>\n
They cannot win games with the offense they use on the field every day. Something must change, but it\u2019s doubtful that it will.<\/p>\n
This year, at least.<\/p>\n
The Chicago White Sox have won just three games so far\u2014three out of 18 games. That\u2019s about one win a week so far this season. If they were to continue on that pace, winning just one game a week, they would win just 23 games! Subtract that from 162, and that means the White Sox will have lost 139 games. If that happens, it would be historical.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s hope that doesn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n
The White Sox are unlikely to lose 139 games this year. However, the number they do lose will likely be around the 100-plus mark (just over it). Anything under 100 losses would be considered a win for this team and may make fans think that the team has avoided disaster.<\/p>\n
Perhaps this win against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday will set them on fire and get them pointed in the right direction. It\u2019s tough to tell. If they don\u2019t turn things around, the Sox will be headed for history, and that history is not good.<\/p>\n
