I heard from the Society of Finessers again — their letters seem to be coming more often — grumbling that finesses never win in my columns.“Sir: We again condemn your disdain for the finesse, an honorable technique that works fully half the time, except in your deals.”The Society won’t like today’s deal. West led a spade against 3NT: deuce, king, ace. South next let the nine of clubs ride, and East took the king and led the jack of spades to South’s queen.EIGHT TRICKSSouth next led a diamond to dummy’s ace and a diamond to his jack, and West produced the queen and exited with a heart. South had only eight tricks, and when he finessed in hearts, East won and cashed three spades.“Three finesses lose,” the Society rails. “For shame!”After South wins the second spade, he can cash only two clubs, then exit with a spade. After East takes three spades, he must lead a heart or a diamond, yielding a free finesse. So Sout...

Strikeouts not enough for slumping White Sox pitchers

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 11:48:03 GMT

The Chicago White Sox are showing so far that strikeouts aren’t everything.Chicago’s pitching staff leads the major leagues with 10.17 strikeouts per nine innings. The White Sox also have a team ERA of 5.96 — only Oakland is worse at the moment. Those pitching woes are a big reason Chicago has been perhaps baseball’s most disappointing team to this point. The White Sox pulled off a dramatic 12-9 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday, but they’d lost 10 in a row prior to that, and even after the victory they are 8-21.Fangraphs.com gives Chicago just a 4% chance of making the playoffs, even in a manageable AL Central. The White Sox have already allowed at least 12 runs in a game five times.In some ways, the White Sox are a reflection of their ace pitcher. Last year, Dylan Cease issued the most walks in the majors but still posted a 2.20 ERA and finished second in the Cy Young vote.This season, he’s 2-1 with a 4.15 ERA, and as a team, Chicago’s pitching is a ...
