Free Fallin’

With a little more than 15% of the 2024 baseball season in the books. the new look White Sox, the first squad put together by new GM Chris Getz, have a 3-22 record.  They are currently on-pace to surpass the 1899 Cleveland Spiders, who went 20-134, for a .130 winning percentage, before the team disbanded in the offseason.

Through their first 24 games, they have put up the sixth worse offensive production in the history of organized baseball.  They have already been shut out eight times in just 25 games.  The highest total in the Wild Card era is 22.  The all-time record, set by the 1908 Cardinals, is 33.  The White Sox are currently on pace to be shut out 56 times.

I guess if you are going to be bad, being historically bad does give the fanbase something to follow and talk about.  And at least all this losing will lead to a high draft pick next year.  Oh wait, no it won’t, thanks to the new anti-tanking rules.  This franchise is screwed.
