The Chicago White Sox have had a dreadful season and they might have hit rock bottom at home Monday night when Mariners ace Luis Castillo did something we’ve never seen before at the major league level - he threw the same pitch 47 times in a row.
For real.
Castillo, who gave up one run on five hits in seven innings of work to pick up his 10th win of the season, threw fastball after fastball after fastball against the White Sox in a move that had MLB fans both in awe and also howling in laughter at Chicago’s inability to do anything with the pitches.
