3 series illustrating the struggles in a season leading to change for the Chicago White Sox

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:51:03 GMT

The Chicago White Sox were eager to show 2022 was an aberration.Instead, they took a huge step back.Friday’s 12-4 loss against the Oakland Athletics at Guaranteed Rate Field was the latest example on the field in a season gone wrong.Starter Dylan Cease allowed eight earned runs and walked five in 4 1/3 innings. The team made two errors in the second inning and another in the fifth. After surrendering five home runs in Thursday’s loss to the A’s, the Sox allowed two more Friday as they fell a season-worst 29 games under .500.Asked afterward about the errors, manager Pedro Grifol went beyond saying, “the whole thing is frustrating.”“We’ve got to get better,” he said. “That’s plain and simple. It’s not for lack of trying. These guys are out there doing their work. We’ve just got to get better.“There’s no excuses.”The Sox will lose the season series to the A’s, who have the worst record in ba...

Ex-Dodgers Turner, Verdugo lift Red Sox to chaotic 8-5 victory over LA

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:51:03 GMT

Winning the breakup is a big part of baseball; when given the chance, make your former team regret letting you go.That’s exactly what Alex Verdugo and Justin Turner did on Saturday, lifting the Red Sox to a 8-5 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers.Since Day 1, Verdugo has wanted to be more than the guy from the Mookie Betts trade.While trades are a part of this business, it’s still quite an unfair position, finding oneself dealt to one of the game’s most historic franchises in exchange for one of its most decorated homegrown stars. The pile of money Harry Frazee received from the New York Yankees in exchange for Babe Ruth never had to face repeated questions and commentary about the transaction, but Verdugo has been dissected, discussed, and compared to Betts ever since.So when the two finally got to square off at Fenway Park this weekend, the spotlight got even brighter. Especially since both were in the leadoff spot on Friday and Saturday and starting in right field in th...

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — A powerful gang opened fire Saturday on a large group of parishioners led by a pastor as they marched through a community armed with machetes to rid the area of gang members.The attack was filmed in real time by journalists at the scene, and several people were killed and others injured, Marie Yolène Gilles, director of human rights group Fondasyon Je Klere, told The Associated Press.She watched online as hundreds of people from a local church marched through Canaan, a makeshift town in the outskirts of the capital of Port-au-Prince founded by survivors who lost their homes in the devastating 2010 earthquake.It wasn’t immediately clear how many people were killed and injured in the attack.Canaan is controlled by a gang led by a man identified only as “Jeff,” who is believed to be allied with the “5 Seconds” gang.Gangs have grown more powerful since the July 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, and they are estimated to control up to 80% of Port...
