After smacking the ball around the first week or so, the White Sox' bats have gone cold somewhat. Guys are continuing to walk, but they appear to be swinging at pitches out of the strike zone a lot more. guys like Alejandro De Aza, Jose Abreu and Marcus Semien have REALLY been struggling.
On the flip side, hitting-wise, Alexei Ramirez, Tyler Flowers and Dayan Viciedo (who's playing regularly now that Avisail Garcia is out for the year), have continued to do so.
As far as the pitching is concerned, the starting pitching (outside of Felipe Paulino), as been decent, while the relief pitching has been horrendous thus far. Perhaps they should gather the relief corps and tell them, "Gentlemen, back in the OLD days, starters pitched complete game after complete game. Those days have gone out with the Yugo, so come prepared to pitch and when we call on you to do so, pitch like no one's coming in to pitch after you."
