There is something Moneyball can’t explain, the often-bandied-about concept of “knowing how to win”. A team that knows how to win hits better than the other team when it doesn’t pitch well, pitches better than the other team when it doesn’t hit well. The 2005 Sox were not a statistically impressive team, with only Paul Konerko driving in 100 RBI (and only 100, exactly) but they knew how to win. Whether the final score was 10-8 or 2-1, they beat you.

This team is figuring out how to win. They are winning both high scoring and low scoring games. This is important stuff, it generates confidence as the season wears on. They will likely be in it all year.

This was a well pitched game by the Sox. They gave up only 4 hits. Unfortunately, two of the left the yard. But still impressive.

This is a spot on description of the Sox. I couldn’t agree more.

How’s this sound? The 1st place Chicago White Sox. Has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

I agree with Roman that this team should be in it all season.

Sox were 17-21 on May 16 but have played 12-1 baseball since then and are now 29-22. They have outscored their opponents 65-30 during the 8 game winning streak.

Paul Konerko leads in batting average in AL at .381.
Adam Dunn is 3rd in HR’s with 16 after Edwin Encarnacion hit his 17th today.
Adam Dunn is 4th in RBI with 37.
Chris Sales leads the AL in ERA at 2.34.

ESPN has White Sox with a 82.3 percent chance of making the playoffs in AL. Only Rangers with a 97.0 percent chance are ranked higher.
