No team in major league history struck out more times than the 2018 Chicago White Sox.

The White Sox set a single-season record Saturday night for the most times their batters have struck out when Minnesota Twins starter Kyle Gibson fanned Yoan Moncada and Yolmer Sanchez to lead off the game.

It was fitting that Moncada was involved in tying the mark -- the 23-year-old leads the majors in whiffing 216 times this season.

Sets up nicely for Steverson as scapegoat.

Moncada was also the fifth Sox player 23 or younger to have 30+ doubles, 15+ homers, 60+ RBIs (and first with 10+ stolen bases) in a single season. The other 4... Chet Lemon, Frank Thomas, Paul Konerko and Carlos Lee. Pretty good company. 

Positivity over here. ;)
