It's only May 18, yet the Chicago White Sox have already done something no other MLB team has been able to accomplish since the 2007 Philadelphia Phillies: They've turned not one, but two triple plays. In a span of just 26 days, mind you, the White Sox have turned triple plays against each of the two MLB franchises from Texas. [Related: Adam Eaton's continued improvement fueling White Sox's hot start ] On April 22, they turned perhaps the wildest triple play we've ever seen in a win against the Texas Rangers. Then, on Wednesday, they did again against the Houston Astros, though this time in a more traditional manner, and also in a 5-3 loss.

The Chicago White Sox are kinda good at getting 3 outs really fast this season. #TriplePlay https://t.co/vkjNGCKxHg — Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) May 19, 2016 We'd go as far as to call them triple play masters at this point. Please note that George Springer is the man who hit the baseball and Jose Altuve was the runner at first base. Springer has above average speed, and Altuve is among the fastest players in the game today. That Chicago turned a triple play in this manner with those baserunners speaks to the talents and the fluidity of both Todd Frazier, who started it at third base, and also Brett Lawrie, who made the turn at second. The slightest hesitation at any point would have halted the entire operation, but the White Sox turned it like a well-oiled machine. Continue to Article
