The worst second-half records in MLB history:
I really, really hope that the Sox final home series against the Angels involves a game for the all-time loss record. As a local I can’t miss that potential history in good conscience and call myself a baseball fan.
The AL Central is 32 games below 500. The AL Central has 4 teams with winning records.
The White Sox are 80 games under .500.
Speaking of which, today watching the Guardians White Sox game, I saw something I have never seen or heard of before. In the first inning, with 2 outs, Kwan is on 3rd and Ramirez on second. Lane Thomas hits a slow roller towards third, as the 3B picks up the ball you can see Ramirez hitting third with a full head of steam. Thomas beat the throw at 1B. Ramirez scored from second without a throw. So Thomas got two RBI’s on an infield single.
In the third inning, Thomas comes up again with 2 outs and Kwan on third, this time Giminez on second. Thomas hits a grounder that the 2B dives and grabs and and throws to first, but Thomas beat it out and Giminez beat the play at the plate so Thomas got two more RBI’s on another IF single. So 4 RBI’s on 2 IF singles by the same guy in his first two AB’s… Important too as the Guardians are up just 5-4 after 4 and a half.
