Tim Hill getting designated for assignment by last year’s White Sox in June, only to go on to be a crucial cog in an AL pennant-winning bullpen for the Yankees was rightly derided as another disastrous outcome for the worst team ever. The 2024 Sox were supposed to have a decent defense and instead had a terrible one, and few felt it more than the contact-oriented lefty reliever.
But Hill also just didn’t pitch very well in Chicago, and it was high time someone exposed that truth. Enter humankind’s agent of chaos in Lenyn Sosa, who squared up a thigh-high sinker and drilled a go-ahead solo shot out to dead center with two outs in the bottom of the eighth, another once unfathomable moment in one of baseball’s strangest breakout seasons.
