The Chicago White Sox currently hold a 17-37 record, reflecting a trend of losing games due to severe errors and bad relief pitching. After recent roster changes, including the absence of a first baseman, the team has earned the nickname 'fun bad' though fans remain skeptical given last year's historical losses. However, the White Sox's expected win-loss record indicates they might be performing better than their actual record suggests, giving some hope for potential improvement as the season continues.
On the day after Memorial Day, the White Sox are 17-37. They have had a few long-running losing streaks. They've coughed up a handful of games thanks to poor play, errors, and bad relief pitching. They're bad.
In fact, the current active White Sox roster doesn't have a first baseman on it at all, thanks to moves last Friday that sent both Andrew Vaughn and Tim Elko to Triple-A Charlotte.
White Sox fans can be forgiven for not having a ton of hope that things are really getting better for their team.
There is, however, some reason to believe that the White Sox are actually trending in the right direction. They might be 17-37, but their expected win-loss record is four wins better, according to Baseball Reference.
