White Sox Make MLB History With 8th Shutout Loss

It’s no secret that the Chicago White Sox are going through a rather excruciating rebuild, but for even those with the lowest expectations, the team’s disappointing start to the 2024 season has been hard to fathom.

With a record of 3-19, the White Sox have had the worst start to a season in their franchise’s 124-year history. As if that’s not enough, the team has been shut out eight times in their first 22 games, the most of any team through 22 games in modern MLB history (since 1901), putting their shutout percentage (.363) at more than double their win percentage (.136).

In 22 games, the White Sox have scored just 45 runs, tying them for fourth-fewest in history and ranking them last in MLB this season with the next-closest team — the Oakland Athletics — 20 runs ahead. The White Sox also rank last in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, hits, home runs, and RBIs.

According to MLB.com’s Scott Merkin, White Sox manager Pedro Grifol is extremely aware of just how bad this start to the season has been.

“We can’t deny what’s happening. Our record sucks,” Grifol said on April 22. “But what are you going to do about it? We have to come tomorrow and get ready to play. You have to forget about today. Learn and move on.”
