White Sox Minor League Update: May 23, 2026

Gwinnett Stripers 5, Charlotte Knights 1The Stripers (28-22) scored early, putting up five runs in the first three innings off of Knights (25-25) righthander Duncan Davitt, while the Charlotte offense couldn’t respond, and Gwinnett won their second game of the series, 5-1. Davitt recorded his second loss of the season and has consistently had a […]

Giants too big for the White Sox by a touchdown, 10-3

Apparently, if the sun is out, all you have to do to beat the White Sox is hit pop-ups. Or hope they bring in Jordan Leasure. The Giants took a 3-0 lead in the fourth thanks to Jarred Kelenic misplaying a Luis Arraez fly ball into a triple, which a sac fly and four singles […]

5/23 Gamethread: Giants vs. White Sox

It’s time for the second game between the San Francisco Giants and the Chicago White Sox. I’m writing this way in advance, as I am on PTO, so I have no idea if the Giants won the first game of the series, or who will be pitching for either team, or if the Giants even […]

Game Thread: White Sox (26-24) at Giants (20-31)

It’s a trifle unlikely that a strategy of nine-up-nine-down-nine-run-inning-five-more-innings-without-a-hit will work two games in a row, so the White Sox may want to try a different form of attack today. That approach will start against Adrian Houser, who was Chicago’s best pitcher last year — 6-2, 2.10 ERA — before being traded to the Tampa […]

The Pope, magical thinking, and why the White Sox are fun again

On May 8, 2025, Chicago native and Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost became Pope Leo XIV. Soon after the announcement, news broke that the newest Holy Man was a lifelong White Sox fan who was in the crowd for Game 1 of the 2005 World Series. Because Chicago can’t be chill about anything, and the White […]

Today in White Sox History: May 23

1911 Shano Collins hit the first three-run homer in Comiskey Park history — almost a year after the park opened! While that fact is fluky enough, Collins’ blow didn’t even leave the park: It was an inside-the-park smash to the deep center field of the park. Collins’ milestone homer came at the expense of the […]

Fireworks in the fourth fuel 9-4 victory

San Francisco’s Trevor McDonald was perfect through the first three innings against the White Sox tonight. Trying to get through the lineup a second time proved to be impossible for the righty, as Chicago hung nine runs on the Giants and cruised to a 9-4 win. It started with back-to-back hit batsmen to put Sam […]

White Sox Minor League Update: May 22, 2026

Charlotte Knights 4, Gwinnett Stripers 3 (11 innings)Although there wasn’t much action, the Knights let a perfectly good bullpen victory slip away, only to restore it at the end. Charlotte’s highs sat on its starter’s shoulders, as Shane Murphy held the Stripers to one run, five hits and three strikeouts in five frames. On the […]

Game Thread: White Sox (25-24) at Giants (20-30)

After back-to-back to back road trips to the West Coast, this series represents, in late May, the White Sox final games in the Pacific Time Zone. Tony Vitello and the San Francisco Giants look to give the South Siders their first series loss since April 26, while Munetaka Murakami and friends will look to not […]

5/22 Gamethread: Giants vs. White Sox

The San Francisco Giants welcome the Chicago White Sox to Oracle Park tonight to begin a three-game series. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Trevor McDonald, who enters tonight’s game with a 2.37 ERA, 3.47 FIP, with 17 strikeouts to three walks in 19 innings pitched. His last start was in the […]

Series Preview: Mariners (24-27) at Royals (20-30)

After the sweep at the hands of the Padres last weekend, the Mariners managed to get things back on track a bit with a series win over the White Sox. Seattle hasn’t won back-to-back series since going 5-1 on their road trip at the end of April. They’ve been mired in an unfortunate rut, unable […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Houston Astros preview, Friday 5/22, 1:20 CT

Today’s roster move: Friday notes… Cubs lineup: Astros lineup: Jameson Taillon, RHP vs. Spencer Arrighetti, RHP Maybe we should just pretend Jameson Taillon’s last start didn’t happen. Oh, you can’t do that. Right. So: Five home runs and eight runs given up to the White Sox. Don’t do that again, Jamo. Taillon has also had […]

Giants-White Sox Series Preview: Mass Appeal

The White Sox spent a little bit in the offseason and acquired a fun player from Japan who has slugged the franchise back into relevance. As fun as it has been to see that the literal Pope of the Roman Catholic church is a White Sox fan, Munetaka Murakami’s fast rise in 2026 has dragged […]

Today in White Sox History: May 22

1926 With a single in his first at-bat, Earl Sheely ran his hot streak to 10-of-13, one of just seven such stretches in White Sox history. Of his 10 hits, Sheely had four singles, five doubles and a home run. 1928 Center fielder Johnny Mostil tied former White Sox center fielder Happy Felsch with an […]

White Sox Minor League Update: May 21, 2026

Gwinnett Stripers 7, Charlotte Knights 3The Knights (24-24) handed Gwinnett more than enough opportunities, and the Stripers made them pay. Between eight walks, shaky command from Hagen Smith, and another rough night with runners in scoring position, Charlotte dropped a game that felt winnable for about seven frames before it slipped away for good. Walks, […]

What are the best and worst traits of our fan base?

Welcome back to our Discussion series. With an off-day to sit and ponder, today’s question focuses on the people who live and die with every pitch: what are the best and worst traits of our fan base? South Siders are a cocktail of loyalty, humor, pure stubbornness, and survival instinct. This bunch has survived more […]

Mariners News: J.P. Crawford, Colt Emerson, and José Berríos

Good morning everyone! The Mariners got a much-needed win against the White Sox yesterday, powering their way to a 5-4 series finale victory. The team has the day off today as they travel to Kansas City for a three-game weekend series. Jhonny Pereda was the breakout star of last night’s contest with his go-ahead solo […]

Today in White Sox History: May 21

1905 Frank Smith tossed a one-hitter, the first of his career and fifth in White Sox history. The proceedings didn’t begin as a Smith masterpiece, as the righty actually trailed in the game after walking Senators leadoff man Charlie Jones, Jones sacrificed to second by Hunter Hill, then driven home on a Jake Stahl (with […]

White Sox Minor League Update: May 20, 2026

Knights starter David Sandlin, 25, struck out seven and only allowed one run in four innings. The White Sox acquired Sandlin in the trade involving Gage Ziehl and Jordan […]

Missed chances haunt White Sox in 5-4 loss to Mariners

The White Sox spent the afternoon tripping over their own shoelaces. They outhit Seattle 11-7 but still dropped the rubber match. Eleven strikeouts, 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position, nine left on base. All that traffic, and nothing to show for it. It was the kind of game that keeps rebuilding clubs awake at night […]

Mariners’ J.P. Crawford open to moving to third base

J.P. Crawford was a late scratch before Wednesday’s series finale against the White Sox, as the triceps issue stemming from a hit by pitch in the last series with the Padres continues to bother him. Pregame he was seen pointing out the sore area to Cole Young, playfully poking the young second baseman in the […]

Game Thread: White Sox (25-23) at Mariners (23-27)

The White Sox go for the series win this afternoon against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. A victory would give the South Siders their sixth series win of the season and move them to three games over .500 for the first time in 2026. Sean Burke draws the start, hoping to erase the memory of […]
