This week, let’s pay tribute to the very bottom of the list — and the team that can’t get out of the No. 30 slot.
The Chicago White Sox aren’t just the worst team in baseball – a stunning title for the Oakland A’s to exist – they’re basically running the rest of the league on their laps.
At 3-18, they have Locke’s worst record. Worse, they’re last in the major leagues in, let’s see, home runs, batting average, OPS, batting average, hits…
Oh, and runs scored, of course: They’ve hit just 45 home runs in 21 games – 22 fewer than the 29th-ranked A’s. Not surprisingly, the White Sox have been held to two runs or fewer in 14 of 21 games. Each week brings more indignity: On Saturday and Sunday, Phillies starters Spencer Turnbull and Jack Wheeler carried no-hitters against them into the seventh and eighth innings, respectively.
