The Chicago White Sox are a badly run organization to the core. And they proved it once again in last night’s (Wednesday) game against the New York Yankees.
Indeed, when reliever Keynan Middleton appeared on the mound against his former team to replace the catastrophic Luis Severino, the White Stockings pretended he didn’t exist, failing to put his name on the scoreboard.
School children wouldn’t do the same.
Recall that the 29-year-old reliever made headlines after the trade that took him out of Chicago, exposing the loser culture (or rather the complete lack of culture) of the Illinois squad.
The White Sox had then refuted Middleton’s allegations that relievers are allowed to sleep regularly during games and that other players miss meetings and practices. However, Lance Lynn has confirmed his former teammate’s revelations.
And again, Chicago wanted to rectify the situation, saying that the omission of Middleton’s name was not done intentionally.
The omission was unintentional, but resulted from a duplicate on the Yankees’ downloadable roster. This issue has arisen from time to time this season when multiple players have worn the same number for a team, and we’re sorry it happened tonight.
No, but what a coincidence.
First, if this has happened a few times this season, why not address this issue? Incompetence in all its forms.
Second, yes prospect Everson Pereira wears number 93, which is the same number Middleton received when he joined New York, but it’s on the 40-man roster and not the starting roster. .
A major housecleaning is needed in the Windy City.
