Latest news and updates about the White Sox
Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. But the South Siders’ 6-3 win today at Philadelphia being good helped, too. The White Sox scored four runs in the first inning, thanks to a combination of the inability of Phils starter Andrew Painter to figure out where the ball was going and a wee tad […]
Andrew Painter’s rocky rookie season was beginning to turn a corner in the middle of May when he put together a strong three-start stretch between the Boston Red Sox, Cincinnati Reds, and Cleveland Guardians. He finished six innings in two of those starts and allowed two runs or less in all three. He then met […]
let’s talk about it.
One of Hawk Harrelson’s (many) favorite sayings was, “It’s not who you play, it’s when you play ’em.” It’s both, of course, but at least Hawk was half-right in this case. The “when you play ’em” part is a split for the White Sox against the Phillies — the unlucky part being that the Phils […]
Inside the Chicago White Sox, there are two wolves. The first is the three true outcome wolf. The South Side Smashing Machine is currently fifth in team slugging, ninth in on-base percentage and fourth in strikeouts. The latter is frustrating at times, as evidenced when Ozzie Guillén’s frustrations boiled over with Colson Montgomery after Wednesday’s […]

The game was played on Friday, but the Chicago White Sox certainly made it look like a “Throwback Thursday” in an 8-6 loss in the opening game of their series with the Philadelphia Phillies. It started out well for the White Sox, as they struck first in the second inning thanks to a two-out rally. […]
When the Phillies have won this season, it’s largely been on the back of their pitching staff. But on Friday night, it was the offense that carried the way, as they overcame a shaky start by Jesus Luzardo to top the White Sox 8-6. Luzardo’s off night began with two outs in the second. He […]
Unfortunately for the Chicago White Sox, the month of June did not start off as well as May ended. Now is where the real dog days of the MLB season may or may not catch up with the South Siders. The next 12 games for the White Sox come against four clubs with a combined […]
Before the season, it was expected that the Chicago White Sox wouldn’t have many save opportunities for their relievers to convert. They were coming off three straight 100+ loss campaigns, including a 41-121 bottoming out in 2024. But the Sox have been one of the biggest surprises this season, checking in at 33-29, good for […]
1919 With the score tied, 1-1, deep into a game at the Polo Grounds facing the Yankees, Eddie Collins belted an inside-the-park grand slam that rolled into the very deep reaches of right-center field. Eddie Cicotte completed the win, improving to 10-1 on the season. The White Sox went three games up in the American […]
Every Minnesota Twins season, there’s a player who shines for a period of time and then is never memorably heard from again. Think Scott Diamond in 2012, Chris Colabello’s 2014 RBI binge, Michael Restovich winning a wild one in 2003, or Michael Ryan whipping the White Sox to end ‘03. With the way 2016 had […]

Charlotte Knights 11, Durham Bulls 6Another night, another double-digit outburst for Charlotte (32-28). The Knights wasted zero time as Braden Montgomery and Caden Connor drew back-to-back walks to open the first, Korey Lee watched strike three, and Dustin Harris promptly laced a single to plate Montgomery. 1-0, Knights. Durham answered in the bottom half, but […]
The vibes couldn’t have been higher for the White Sox in May, which sets the stage for Chris Getz to do almost anything he wants without upsetting fans. The crew went 18-10 and came out of the month with a positive run differential for the first time since last July, when Chicago went on a […]

When the White Sox signed Munetaka Murakami, there was hope. There was optimism. There was even a healthy amount of “what if?” What there probably wasn’t was “first rookie since 1901 to hit 20 home runs before June.” Yet here we are. The American League announced Wednesday that Murakami has been named AL Rookie of […]
1959 The 1959 season was filled with extra-inning games for the White Sox, including SIX against Baltimore. There were also three true marathon games, of 17, 17, and 18 innings — ALL against the Orioles. This was the first one that went at least 17 innings. In this game, Earl Torgeson’s solo home run off of Jerry […]
The MLB trade deadline isn’t for two months, but the internet chatter surrounding a potential Tarik Skubal trade has grown increasingly loud.
Charlotte Knights 18, Durham Bulls 7 (11 innings)I can assure you that the score is not a typo. The Knights (31-28) really scored 11 runs in the 11th inning to pull away with a victory by a double-digit margin in extras. As a result, the Knights have a 2-0 series lead in Durham against the […]
After two frustrating losses to begin the series, the White Sox responded exactly how good teams are supposed to: They punched back. Erick Fedde spun five shutout innings, the offense piled on 12 hits and eight walks, and the Sox steamrolled the Twins. Sure, they lost the series, but they leave Minnesota with a +11 […]
