The Chicago White Sox have had plenty of dour days this season. Tuesday’s contest against the Texas Rangers just added to the list.

The White Sox entered the matchup with a 31-101 record and just 30 games left to avoid tallying the most losses in a single season.

With ace pitcher Garrett Crochet on the mound Tuesday at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago, Ill., the White Sox appeared to have a decent chance to compete for a win.

Crochet came out and threw four pitches before the game was suspended due to rain.

Given that the All-Star had already ramped up for his start and made a few throws, he will reportedly be replaced by Chris Flexen when the game resumes on Wednesday. The team essentially got just four pitches from their best pitcher before having to shelve him until his next turn in the rotation.

Fans and media members on X added insult to the White Sox’s weather-induced injury.

On Sunday, the White Sox lost their 100th game in a 9-4 defeat against the Detroit Tigers.

Chicago’s South Side team joined the ’03 Tigers and the ’62 New York Mets as the only teams to pile up triple-digit losses before September.

The White Sox will need to go at least 12-18 to close the season in order to avoid tying the Mets for the worst record in modern baseball history.
