The White Sox are facing difficulties with their starting pitching, as seen in their six-game losing streak and a 3-1 loss to the Guardians. Recent outings by right-handers Sean Burke and Aaron Civale featured very short performances, with starters averaging only five innings over the last rotation cycle. Their combined ERA of 7.35 is among the worst in major leagues. Conversely, the bullpen has performed remarkably well, achieving a 2.03 ERA. Despite maintaining a solid bullpen, the team is struggling to win games consistently after a decent start.
The starting staff's 49 innings and 7.35 ERA since July 28 rank among the worst in the majors, highlighting significant struggles in their pitching performance.
Despite their struggles, the bullpen has been effective, recording a 2.03 ERA in recent appearances while pitching 48 innings over the same stretch.
Manager Will Venable noted, 'Typically, they have [gone deeper into games]. The bullpen has been asked to do a lot, and they've stepped up like they have all year.'
Sean Burke expressed frustration with his short outing, stating, 'I've just got to be able to go deeper in games going forward,' emphasizing the need for better starting performances.
