The Chicago White Sox are on their longest winning streak of the season. 2 games.

Crazy, huh?

This isn't current. Schwarber currently has something like 52 strikeouts.

It's also a little misleading as Gwynn wasn't a home run hitter so he's naturally going to strikeout less.

Also strikeouts are massively overrated for hitters.

At the age of 16 Jose Altuve attended a Yankees tryout camp but was not signed.

Great decision by the Yankees.

All that resulted from that was him proceeding to make multiple plays that eliminated those same Yankees rom the playoffs.... repeatedly.

Great scouting there, eh? @bbgun

No matter how you slice it, 188 strikeouts over the course of an entire decade is an absolutely ridiculous stat.

Absolutely hate the fuck out of this. We are going to waste this pitching and that is a shame.

It's not a new problem, either. With the exception of 23 our offense has been subpar since 2016. Im pretty sure that that the drop-off in offensive production coincides with the organization's change in their philosophy of drafting a shit ton of pitching. Well you still need to have talent in the field as well. FML.

Seager and Jung can't stay healthy. Semien and Garcia have dropped to the 8th and 9th spots in the order. Frankly the only reason that they are still playing is because of their defense.

I still have 23, though. That still gives me some relief but its wearing thin.

Devil's advocate though, it's better than all those years decades of losing games 9-7. Some of these guys like Garcia will hit again, I'm sure. But bad pitching never finds it.

I think 22 and 23 were the best we will ever see from Garcia.

Those teams in the past usually had a chance to outscore so at least they were exciting. This team reminds me of old national league baseball except they can't hit or get on base.

I'm so tired of Brian Snitker.

The one bright spot that may come out of this season for the Braves is finishing sub .500 should finally be enough to get rid of his old, listless ass.

It's your turn to go through a few bad years for letting Ron Washington leave.
