Clash of Titans: When Rival Franchises Take an Unexpected Turn
The White Sox are a team that kind of burst into oblivion last season. Sure, they were pretty bad the year prior, but nothing like last season when they were one of the worst teams of all time. The only good news for them is that the Rockies are now looking like they will hold the White Sox beer this season. In any case, it wasn’t too long ago that this team had one of the brightest futures in baseball. They had a talented core of players, and even the farm system seemed deep. It just never clicked, and to be honest, I don’t fully blame the players as I think the owner is to blame more than anything. Some owners look at teams as something they love, others as an investment, and a way to make even more money. The White Sox owner is certainly the latter. Hard to invest money into a terrible team, I guess, but how else are they going to get better? Young talent, I suppose. Today’s starter might fit that bill a bit as Davis Martin is 2-6 with a 3.67 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP. He has been an innings eater and before his last outing had thrown three straight quality starts. The Royals got to him pretty good last month, getting four earned runs in 4.1 innings. Overall, the team is hitting .281 against Martin.
