“This feels just like 2024” is easy and certainly true analysis, but if Mike Tauchman pulling up on the third base line with right hamstring tightness, and getting tagged out at home to cap the White Sox’ seventh-straight loss rather than score the tying run in the ninth feels like merely a phenomenon of the past 12 months, perhaps we can sell you on upgrading your Sox Machine subscription to increase your familiarity with the organization.
Lenyn Sosa’s first inning, two-out RBI single and Miguel Vargas coming just a healthy hamstring away from a two-out game-tying single off All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase in the ninth bookended another frustrating night for the White Sox offense that repeatedly let scuffling Guardians starter Logan Allen off the ropes (3-for-12 w/RISP, one of which was an infield single). Chase, contact and hard-hit rates would indicate the Sox offense is gradually moving in the right direction. Simpler mathematics would tell that they have scored 15 runs over their seven-game skid, and could be en route to putting three positional regulars on the injured list in a 24-hour span.
