Well, early indications are that the BNN boffins were spot on in their high opinion of Chicago this season, with the Sox off to a 24-10 start to the season. They put an absolute whuppin' on the poor old Senators today.
I was understandably concerned that the expansion to 5-man rosters and reduction of stamina would lead to some massive blowouts, but it hasn't been too bad. This is an obvious exception, but I checked and it was simply some usually decent enough pitchers - led by Dutch Leonard - having a dreadful day.
It happens.
Slash line is currently 268/345/389 v last season's 269/336/393; BABIP 281 v 284; ERA is up about 10 points to 4.25.
