The Chicago White Sox suffered a 4-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Friday, marking their 121st loss of the season, the most in MLB history. The team had a successful season in 2021, winning 93 games and the American League Central division, but has been on a downward trajectory since then. They won 81 games in 2022 and 61 last season, and have only managed to win 39 games so far this season with two games left.
Offense has been a major issue for the White Sox, as they rank near the bottom in many statistical categories. First baseman Andrew Vaughn, with a batting average of .248, has the highest average on the team. The team started the season with a 3-22 record, their worst 25-game start in franchise history.
The White Sox have also faced challenges with long losing streaks, including a 21-game losing streak in August, marking a franchise record. They have struggled to maintain consistent performance throughout the season, with notable dips in wins in July and August after strong showings in May and June.
Despite their struggles, the White Sox have maintained a sense of humor, as evidenced by a social media post poking fun at negative comments. As the team heads towards the end of a challenging season, they will look towards improvements for the future.
