The 2023 White Sox were one of the most dissapointing teams of the year, but for those who have been rooting for this franchise, this is just par for the course. I decided to go deep into the trenches and watch a full game to bear witness to what made this team so pathetic.
Special shout-out to @TrueRGM for supplying me with the game footage for editing.
Clarifications:
• I know Lucas Giolito's ERA with the White Sox was actually quite solid (3.79) and only spiked once he was traded, but I felt his season should still be reflected in totality to show how poorly many of the White Sox players performed in 2023
• I dont add the Jr. to Luis Robert Jr's name. This was a mistake on my part as he only started using the Jr. in his name this season. I also probably mispronounced it anyway
• I know that not every White Sox announcer was technically fired, but each one of them has stated that organizational intervention led to them either quitting or retiring (In Ken Harrelson's case)
