- Adam Dunn, whiffing in April 2013—one of his 720 strikeouts in four seasons with the White Sox
Having scrutinized the White Sox on the field and on film, manager Robin Ventura last night diagnosed the south-siders’ problem: “We have to score some runs to be able to win games.”
And sometimes, bad weeks and bad months. With their latest losing streak at five, the Sox are napping in the basement of the AL Central, seven under .500 and nine out of first.
The south-siders have been especially underwhelming at the start of their games this season, scoring only 19 runs in 63 contests while allowing 53. This is “a phenomenon that needs to stop,’’ Ventura dissected yesterday. “We have to have guys get better when they get in there in the first inning.”
