The White Sox have tied the 1962 Mets for the most losses in a season in modern MLB history, with just one more loss to go with the record.

If anyone is wondering whether it is really The bad on Chicago’s South Side, “damning” is a good word to describe the report on the organization that Brittany Ghiroli and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic published last Thursday.

The Marlins suffered their second 20-4 loss of the season to the Dodgers last week, but kudos to manager Skip Schumaker for not intentionally spoiling Shohei Ohtani’s mood in this game.

The Rocky Mountains also deserves praise for their solid baseball play of late. They are coming off a 9-7 streak that has seen them win multiple series against multiple opponents, including the Diamondbacks last week.

In contrast to angel Last week’s series win over the White Sox was only their second since August 9. They should be thinking about 2025 and, in particular, whether they will take Mike Trout at his word and ask him to move out of center field.

Brent Rooker only needs two more home runs to become the first athletics Hitter to reach 40 since Khris Davis in 2018. The last A’s hitter to reach 40 before him was Jason Giambi in 2000.

The Nationals ended a five-game losing streak with a win over the Cubs on Saturday, but it was not a good day for the organization. It was the same day they demoted All-Star shortstop CJ Abrams after he pulled an all-nighter at a Chicago-area casino.

The Pirates are 18-31 since July 31, but they did get 11 one-run innings from Paul Skenes last week. His 1.99 ERA is the lowest for a rookie starter in the live-ball era.

The Blue Jay And Rangers also present exciting rookies who otherwise stumble to the finish. For the former, infielder Spencer Horwitz has an OPS of 1.006 since August 30. For the latter, Kumar Rocker has struck out 12 of the 34 batters he faced in two starts.

Although David Bell is now officially her ex-manager, Red wines are coming off a strong September with a record of 12-8. Elly De La Cruz will lead the MLB in strikeouts, but he also has a chance to finish with over 70 extra-base hits and 70 stolen bases.
