The Chicago White Sox are not living up to expectations.
The White Sox were picked by practically everyone with a pulse to win the AL Central and contend for the World Series heading into the start of the 2022 season.
After getting swept out of Canada by the Toronto Blue Jays, the Sox followed that up by getting thumped in Tampa in the series opener. The Sox have lost seven of the last ten games.
The Chicago White Sox are now 23-27 while looking up at the Minnesota Twins and the Cleveland Guardians in the standings.
The Sox are staring down a lost season in the face-during a contention window.
It will be hard to make that reality blink. Already way behind expectations after Memorial Day, the Sox are facing a brutal June schedule.
If you think facing the Blue Jays was tough, the Sox still have to play two more games with the Tampa Bay Rays. There is also the Los Angeles Dodgers, Houston Astros, a return set with the Blue Jays, and the Los Angeles Angels on the docket this month.
They get a breather with the Baltimore Orioles and Texas Rangers coming to town in June along with a road trip to Detroit. The Chicago White Sox poor hitting and fielding makes those games look like not much of a sure thing.
To make matters worse, the team’s one glimmer of hope, the pitching, has turned south.
