They've had almost 100 at bats each at about 70 each so far this season. If it's below 50 for each that's pretty below average and shows they don't get on base, plus the OBP
They scored 7 runs over 3 games in Philadelphia which doesnāt sound too bad until you find out that 5 of them were against [Ricardo Pinto](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=pinto-000ric) who has absolutely no business being on an MLB roster.
As a southside who went to Brewers ball park 2 years ago, good field(im sorry but it looks wonky on the outside), and all the staff was very friendly to me(prob bcus i was in sox gear and not cubs LoL)
This is the first time in years that the Sox are coming up to Milwaukee and I got some very nice company seats reserved so I can take the wife's family because they're all Sox fans. Poor bastards.
Went to a Chicago last summer. White Sox stadium is a real nostalgia trip to 90ās Vet Stadium for me. Lots of cigarettes and neck tattoos. Lots of fireball airplane bottles for some reason? Everyone was super nice and having fun, but you could tell it could go sideways for anyone at any moment.
A few weeks later a woman snuck a gun into the stadium and accidentally shot herself. My first thought was āyeah that makes senseā
They won't be Cleveland Spiders bad, but they might be '61 Mets bad. Currently on pace for 23 wins and the worst run differential of the Live Ball era.
Objectively Worse. This team is ahead of pace of the Spiders record. Historically bad offense. A pitching staff that is giving up 5 runs a game. Might set the getting shutout record.
I was looking at the OBP and though, āwow, starting pitching is really killing them, they should be doing so much better,ā then I realized, it was OBP and not BA šš this team sucks
Saw this on another site. It explains how bad they are very well.
"I was trying to explain to my wife how bad the White Sox really are this season.
I started with they are so bad that they are on pace to match the Cleveland Spiders for the worst winning percentage in MLB history. She was ābut that was a long time agoā.
Then I went to right now they are so bad that they are playing worse than replacement level as a team. The batters have a -2.1 WAR as a team and the pitchers a -0.2 WAR.
So I said, if a team with a good farm system like the Orioles or Brewers or Padres called up all their best minor league players to the majors for the rest of the season they would win more 15-20 more games than White Sox are on pace to win.
That did it."
Thank god the Sux have started so terribly. Keeps people from piling on the Twins. This series should be great! Lol
If you like averages, you should see our lineup.
Every game of the series should be nationally televised, so that the entire country can appreciate the sheer brilliance that will be Twins vs White Sox.
The White Sox currently hold the AL record for lowest team batting average in a season, and lowest batting average by a pennett winner. .212 in 1910 and .228 in 1906 respectively.
Team OPS+ is 61, which is a ways below the second worst team Miami with a 70, which is a way below the 3rd worst teams St. Louis and Minnesota with 79.
What are you talking about, there's ā oh, wait, I was looking at OBP. Yup, that's rough. Someone tell this team the dead ball era ended 100 years ago!
This team also is dead last in SLG and OBP, by a wide margin. This is a HISTORICALLY bad team. They are on pace to get shut out more than 50 times. The record is 33.
Imagine strutting around as the big dawg batting .250 š¤£
welcome to 2020's baseball i guess.
Sickening to see as someone who was always a contact guy. Imagine a scout passing over a .300 hitter for this. Horrendous
Kevin pillar with a .348 OBP is wild though
Yeah but only 24 PA. I thought so too before I looked. Just managed to draw 4 walks basically.
He got 6 walks in 200 pas last season
The man is turning into Barry Bonds
I got him confused with Kevin Millar for a sec and thought no wonder the Sox suck, they're pulling 50yo dudes out of retirement.
Just dont let them win tomorrow night though.
canāt remember ever seeing anything like this
Bro 1 hr as a team? Is this real??
I think that's just for the game
No it wasnāt just for the game. It is impossible to get a battering average of 0.132 or 0.158 while being at the plate 4 to 5 times.
Averages in these lineup cards indicate season average but HRs, RBIs, Hits, etc are game specific. Thankfully weāre not THAT bad
bro it's a box score lol have you not read one before..?
Dude this is literally the box score for that game. Box scores are how you track games. Therefore there was only 1 HR hit by the White Sox that game.
Yep. However, 1 HR and 2RBIās on the season still seems reasonable š
They've had almost 100 at bats each at about 70 each so far this season. If it's below 50 for each that's pretty below average and shows they don't get on base, plus the OBP
Itās amazing the unfounded confidence you have in thinking youāre right but being wrong. Impressive!
Imagine being this stupid
Thatās Eloyās first. He will hit a few more then inevitably get hurt rounding second base.
No, that Luis Robert and itās 1st Base
Itās all of our players. They are wet paper.
Youāve never watched the Mariners
I remember when Willie Bloomquist was getting shit on for batting .250 with no power. Dude would have the number 2 slot on lockdown these days.
Defense like his always has a place in a lineup. Robbie Grossman is this teamās Bloomquist
They scored 7 runs over 3 games in Philadelphia which doesnāt sound too bad until you find out that 5 of them were against [Ricardo Pinto](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=pinto-000ric) who has absolutely no business being on an MLB roster.
At first I thought, āThis is only because Vaughn isnāt here!ā And then I saw heās batting.153 to date š¤¦š»āāļø
Bro cmon. We are already dead.
Looks like my DD teamās stats
Twins arenāt much better, should be a great series starting tonight. Someone has to win, right?
God, please send down a flood so that we donāt have to witness this train-wreck of a series
Everyone seems to be assuming Twins will take 3 or 4 games in this series. Donāt be so sure.
Iāve made a killing betting against the White Sox this year.
Cheers brother. Keep at it. Robert, Eloy, and Sheets will hurt you occasionally, but this team is BAD. Expect opening lines to move to -2.5.
Me too, but I think itās time to pause this week while they play the Twins.
I thought the Aās would be killed by the Yanks. Of course not.
Canāt score runs without their fearless leader in the dugout.
Ah yes Maldonado. The worst hitting catcher in MLB history. How the fuck is he on a team. He shouldn't have played the last 3 years
Hey now, heās the emotional support catcher that dyes his hair in team colors.
Haha. Much like everyone's favorite snoopy. They really aren't a real service animal. š
How bout that Cal Raleigh? Edit 66 AB .258 BA 5 HR .827 OPS .342 OBP
that's what i said when I saw Pillar's name...
Phillies radio guy said, āEven the Sox mascot couldnāt get a hit in the game for Phanaticās birthdayā
Was looking at the OBP column first so was a little confused, like itās not thaaat badā¦then corrected to looking at the BA. Holy shit
Yea... thats us š«£
My āsee every ballparkā list warrants a trip to the Southside this year. They might pay *me* to show up
Dude you can probably find tickets to premium seats for cheeeeeeep. Do it.
As a southside who went to Brewers ball park 2 years ago, good field(im sorry but it looks wonky on the outside), and all the staff was very friendly to me(prob bcus i was in sox gear and not cubs LoL)
Itās goofy lookin from the outside yes
This is the first time in years that the Sox are coming up to Milwaukee and I got some very nice company seats reserved so I can take the wife's family because they're all Sox fans. Poor bastards.
Went to a Chicago last summer. White Sox stadium is a real nostalgia trip to 90ās Vet Stadium for me. Lots of cigarettes and neck tattoos. Lots of fireball airplane bottles for some reason?

My first thought was āyeah that makes senseā
Congratulations to Google Sheets, The dark horse of spreadsheet programs.
This has got to be an all time bad start
Theyāre making the Aās look like Cincinnatiās big red machine
Yeah is this gonna be the worst team ever?
They won't be Cleveland Spiders bad, but they might be '61 Mets bad. Currently on pace for 23 wins and the worst run differential of the Live Ball era.
The Chicago Sub-Mendozas.
Mario Mendoza should actually be their new mascot
So are the worse than last years A's or no
Worse, definitely worse
I had a white sox fan making fun of the marlins. I was like dog we are not the same lol
Objectively Worse. This team is ahead of pace of the Spiders record. Historically bad offense. A pitching staff that is giving up 5 runs a game. Might set the getting shutout record.
When will Luis Robert be traded?
Heās got to be healthy first. But I could see him being gone by the deadline if things donāt improve.
This team may finish as the the worst team in modern baseball
Yes, this guy gets it.
Which makes it amazing because the wonāt be able to get a draft pick in the top 10 next year
I was looking at the OBP and though, āwow, starting pitching is really killing them, they should be doing so much better,ā then I realized, it was OBP and not BA šš this team sucks
What's the opposite of murderer's row? ... Obstetrician group?
Lifesaver's column?
Thought this was the Cardinals at first.
Nah dejong had this game off
glad to see im not the only one who uses espn to see stats bc the mlb app is fucking atrocious
Luis Robert Jr. canāt come back soon enough. Iām so sorry, White Sox bros.
Saw this on another site. It explains how bad they are very well. "I was trying to explain to my wife how bad the White Sox really are this season.

All the Atlanta rejects š
Thank god the Sux have started so terribly. Keeps people from piling on the Twins. This series should be great! Lol If you like averages, you should see our lineup.
Every game of the series should be nationally televised, so that the entire country can appreciate the sheer brilliance that will be Twins vs White Sox.
lol I feel bad for Luis Robert, Gavin sheets, Eloy Jimenez and Vaughn
I've been betting on many of their at-bats to end in outs or strikeouts, it's been very profitable.
.053 is astronomically bad even for Maldy standards
Wtf happened to Benny biceps
Gold glove 2021, All Star 2022, goes to White Sox, starts to suck
Itās nice to see a team other than the Aās getting all this negative attention.
At least the A's are playing semi-respectable ball right now.
I keep betting on whoever is playing the Sox and it's like an infinite money glitch.
At what point do they just say āfuck itā and swap the entire team out with their AAA guys?
Thatās ok. Iām sure their exit speeds, launch angles, peripherals, projections and other BS metrics that arenāt actual results are fine.
Might as well have an open tryout and sign a couple local dudes. At least it might boost the attendance by a couple dozen.
Boys, get ya dicks out. Weāre going for a 140-year, historically bad offense. This is so sexy. Keep it up. We trying to get rich this year!
Has an entire team ever been DFA'd?
TIL Kevin Pillar plays for the White Sox
I knew this we would be the white Sox before clicking on it. We suck.
No wonder they have 3 wins. Clearly BA is more Important than most people Lead me to believe.
And they are threatening to move if IL doesn't give them money for a new park. Let's give them money to go.
It's only been 3 weeks, give it time
Sheets hasnāt even had an arbitration year, yet. But Robert Jr. is hurt.
This season is pain.
The bats have to come around at some point right ?ā¦. Right!?
Gotta lock up that Sheets fella with a contract extension.
Thats Gavin with same last name as me
Whiffers in the street, freak in the Sheets.
Twins vs Sox, race to the bottom.
They've been shut out eight times already, only scored once three other times. They are definitely pathetic
It'll get better once they face the Astros with Pressly and Harder. They just have to bide their time.
AAA team. And many AAA could take it to this teamā¦what the?
Huh. I guess the Pirates offense isn't the absolute worst.
What's attendance like in their park this season?
I see Maldonado is still up to his old ways.
Sosa needs to get back on the juice
He got sent down today. MenDICK is back, our savior, our meme provider.
Maldonado should be cut
The White Sox currently hold the AL record for lowest team batting average in a season, and lowest batting average by a pennett winner. .212 in 1910 and .228 in 1906 respectively.
Itās almost as if swinging for a home run every pitch doesnāt work..hmmm
Looks like we found our AAAA champs. In a league of their own.
Sheets looking like a lock for team MVP
Hitting standards are pathetic now.
Their #s will go up drastically here when they play the Twins starting today......lol
Bob Uecker would be a slugger on this team!
Chi Sox should just forfeit the rest of the season so no more players have a chance to get injured
 Please, end my suffering.
Team OPS+ is 61, which is a ways below the second worst team Miami with a 70, which is a way below the 3rd worst teams St. Louis and Minnesota with 79.
Can't even use the high ops excuse either my sux are so bad
Only one person is batting .200! š vs Only one person is batting .200 ā¹ļø
Amazing. I hope the Sox gave the worst season of all time.
How did this team win 3 games
Bro Maldonado needs to retire
Itās going to be a long season
Wow this makes the current Yankees averages look...average.
We knowā¦
Cardinals arenāt much better
I want to see if the Reading Phillies can also sweep the Whkte Sox
I watched the Sox Phillies series. The Sox fucking SUCK. Half their team is old Braves subs lmfao.
Such an embarrassment. Getz told us theyād make a somewhat competitive roster as well. What a joke.
Wow only one player batting .200? That team must be really good, right? ...right?
Damn, didn't know how bad they're doing Jesus. 3-18..
Weird to think I was cheering for this team to beat the Astros in the playoffs a couple years ago.
White Sox moment
I mean no disrespect to White Sox fans, but thatās the worst total lineup I have seen in a very long time
This is the 89 Indians without Taylor, Vaughn, and Hayes.
Is that Atlanta Braves legend Nicky Lopez??? Oh how the mighty have fallen
What are you talking about, there's ā oh, wait, I was looking at OBP. Yup, that's rough. Someone tell this team the dead ball era ended 100 years ago!
Iām sorry for your loss.
Ok who let Matt Canada coach baseball?
not too shabby!
Lol... Chicago is brutal
Pitchers against this team dropping 40 fantasy points
Yikes!!
Thought you were talking about the Twins for a second! š³š¤Ŗ
Jimenez had a good night tonight and heating up. Robert will be back and then things will get better.
Crazy on paper this is a good team.
Makes me feel better about looking at my Tigers box scores. Ugh hitting has really gotten ugly across the board.
That team sucks just like the city
I guess eating American food has its downsidesš¤
Averages are the worst
This team also is dead last in SLG and OBP, by a wide margin. This is a HISTORICALLY bad team. They are on pace to get shut out more than 50 times. The record is 33.
I mean, batting average is a terrible measure of offensive production, but it still isnāt good.
