"It's not possible to go 0-for-500."
In case you were concerned Daniel Palka's sense of humor has been affected by his season-opening slump, don't be. That line got some laughs during his chat with reporters Sunday morning in the White Sox clubhouse.
But Palka has found out the hard way that it is indeed possible to go 0-for-21. That's where he stood entering Sunday's contest, still searching for his first hit of the 2019 season after the White Sox played their first eight games. It's been an obviously dreadful beginning to an important, "prove it" year for the guy who blasted a team-high 27 home runs as a rookie in 2018.
