The good news is that Luis Robert Jr.’s calf injury from the Home Run Derby turned out very minor, and he’s back in the White Sox lineup. The bad news is that it’s still the White Sox lineup, all of the rest of which doesn’t come close to the WAR — f or b — of Luis alone, even if you leave out the guys with negatives.
The even worse news is that they’re playing the best and hottest team in baseball. In Atlanta. Where the Braves have a 10-game winning streak.
If this were a movie, some middle-schooler would run through the gift shop and grab a uniform and pitch and hit the Sox to a huge upset victory.
