KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If good pitching is as simple as throwing strikes, it’s no wonder the White Sox rank 25th as a team in FanGraphs WAR in pitching.
Entering their 7-6 loss Tuesday against the Royals, pitchers on the Sox ranked second in the major leagues with 563 walks, trailing only the Athletics, baseball’s worst team (585 walks). The Sox (53-86) walked just three Royals on Tuesday but still lost, extending their losing streak to five games.
