In a callback to the extreme absurdities of last year’s team, the White Sox entered Friday with a 1-7 record in Shane Smith’s starts, despite the whole part where he had a 2.08 ERA over that span.
Worse yet, the Rule 5 pick lowered his ERA to 2.05 in the Crosstown Classic opener. And the Sox did more than enough to drop to 1-8 when Smith pitches.
