CHICAGO – The White Sox have returned home for a three-game weekend series against the Miami Marlins beginning Friday evening.
Will Venable’s club is coming off a rough series in Kansas City, where they lost all four games. The White Sox were shut out in the first and fourth games, and they fell short with a pair of one-run losses in between. They now lead MLB with 10 one-run losses.
“On a positive side, that you’re in those games and you’re doing a lot of things well to be in that many one-run games. But you also gotta find ways to win those games and pinpoint the things that you can do better,” Venable said. “There’s different things in each one of those games that we could have done better, and that’s what our focus is, is to recognize those things, address them and hopefully learn something and get better.”
Despite their American League-worst 10-28 record and recent sweep against the Royals, Venable said the team is in a good spot mentally and emotionally. He’s seen the same response from them each day, no matter what happened previously, coming to the ballpark excited and expecting to win.
