There was a great meme on the White Sox’s Reddit that summed up a lot of series during this period of little competition. The White Sox completed the first two legs of the journey over the first two games of the series, opening with a resounding victory and then sagging to a one-run loss. With […]

Tony La Russa wasn’t in the dugout for the White Sox’s 2-1 loss to the Rangers in Arlington on Saturday, as he was serving an automatic one-game suspension accompanying Mike Wright’s ejection for a suspected retaliatory pitch on Thursday. The league threw the book at Wright, relatively speaking, by...

Welp, the Birmingham Barons lost a fourth consecutive game in Montgomery, so the Barons have now fallen out of the Double-A South’s postseason picture. That turns Sunday into a double-elimination tournament for the Biscuits, and a single-elimination game for the Dash. The Barons have to win Game 1...

Lance Lynn became the first of the previously injured White Sox starters to venture into the sixth inning. He took the loss because of the longer leash, but it was still an idea worth pursuing. Lynn gave up a pair of singles and a sac bunt before yielding the inning to Garrett Crochet, who gave […]

The Birmingham Barons entered the final week of the regular season with a 2½-game lead over Pensacola for the second-best record in the Double-A South. With two days left on the calendar, the Blue Wahoos are no longer the team they have to worry about. Montgomery is now a half-game behind the...

Good morning! In what was an otherwise uninspiring loss on Thursday afternoon, franchise history was made during the 8th inning when Liam Hendriks recorded the 100th strikeout of his season.

The Rangers just faced the Astros, losing three out of four games, and by a combined score of 34-4 in the defeats. So if the White Sox felt like they had to keep pace with Astros, they really acted on those urges with a blowout in the first of their first-ever three-game set at Globe […]

Because Sirius XM moved MLB games to some sort of premium tier, I was not able to listen to today’s game while on the road from Chicago to Nashville, so I had to catch up with it afterward. Hence, a bullet-point recap of the mess: *Reynaldo López gave up a walk and a laser homer […]
