“We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope,” a quote by Martin Luther King Jr., depicts the importance of never losing hope, even when all doors are closed. The Chicago White Sox, with their 4-16 season so far, are one example of this. How, you may ask? Well, during their most recent game against the Boston Red Sox, we witnessed a small amount of hope. The White Sox manager is still optimistic that they will soon make a comeback despite their 3-4, 10-inning loss to the Red Sox. 

Losing at Fenway Park was the Chicago White Sox’s sixth loss in a row. The Sox are officially riding on one of their worst seasons in major league history with a new manager and heavy dependency on the rookie arms of Sean Burke. 

Despite the results not going the White Sox’s way against the Red Sox, their catcher, Edgar Quero and Chase Meidroth, managed to combine for five in their seven innings. As the White Sox are rebuilding their team, it’s quite evident that they will go through tough times. However, their rookie players showed great signs at the home arena of the Boston Red Sox, giving a glimpse of what their future would be like. General Manager Chris Getz said, “We’re top 10 in the league in regard to our primary leads. Obviously over time that’s going to lead to more run production.”

Getz also mentioned the swing movements that have been good this season. He said, “Our swing decisions have been at the top of the league as well, which is a testament to the process we’ve put in place.” White Sox manager Will Venable is also on the same page with Getz, who believes that rebuilding a team takes time. They wouldn’t like to think much about where they currently stand; instead, they focus on the good things.

The White Sox’s 23-year-old infielder, Chase Meidroth, is boasting a massive .409 on-base percentage in his first six major league games. Outfielder Braden Montgomery is hitting the ball great, and Colson Montgomery is getting into the groove gradually and more. It is essentially the quiet before the storm, and like the managers, we all hope the White Sox return to their winning ways soon.

During the game against the Red Sox, the White Sox were right on the money until Triston Casas turned the game in their favor. How did he do that?

The White Sox faced a major setback due to the Red Sox’s first baseman

Yes, that’s true! It was the Boston Red Sox’s first baseman who was the deciding factor in the game. The fight was on, as the Boston Red Sox managed to take a 3-0 lead after Rafael Devers hit a fastball pitched by Shane Smith for a massive homer during the fifth inning. However, the White Sox scored three of their runs in the seventh inning, with Luis Robert Jr. hitting a two-run homer to tie the game at 3-3. Chase Meidroth was instrumental, as he singled for an RBI before Robert hit a sweeper. But that wasn’t all!

The Red Sox’s Triston Casas, who has been struggling quite a bit for some time, with a batting average of .172, managed to deliver a clutch bases-loaded single off the Green Monster in the 10th inning. This eventually led to him scoring the winning run, handing the White Sox a 3-4 defeat and their sixth loss in a row.

Do you think the White Sox are showing good signs and they may soon excel in their upcoming games this season?
