One broadcaster is choosing to look at the glass half full in Chicago.
The MLB-worst Chicago White Sox just suffered their ninth-straight loss in Friday’s 12-5 defeat against the Milwaukee Brewers. One Sox broadcaster, however, is keeping his head up.
NBC Sports Chicago play-by-play announcer John Schriffen, who replaced Jason Benetti in January, turned into the butt of jokes on social media when he made an optimistic statement about the team that arguably bordered on a state of denial. During Friday’s game, Schriffen told booth mate Steve Stone, “It feels like this run the White Sox are on, we’re catching teams at the wrong time.”
A pause was drawn out before Stone replied, chuckling, “Well, there’s that. There’s a few other reasons. But that’s certainly one of them.”Steve Stone: Well there's that . There's a few other reasons. But that's certainly one of them.The White Sox fell to 15-43 following their loss to Milwaukee having dropped 13 of their last 14 games.
