The White Sox have won one of their last nine road series (the Cleveland split counts as a draw) and are trying not to make it one of 10. Part of the reason for the home-road disparity is Sox pitching running a 5.05 ERA on the road, compared to a 3.18 ERA at home.

Who would’ve thunk last fall watching Trey Yeasavage mow through AL hitters that just a few long months later, we’d be saying things like “Yeah he’s good, but Sean Burke might wind up getting some Cy Young votes, has the advantage.” Obviously I’m being rather liberal with the royal “we” there, because I might really […]

When you have a game featuring one pitcher who was once a superstar but has been awful all year facing another who was a big star earlier in the season but hadn’t been for weeks, it could go either way — slugfest or pitchers’ duel. Duel it was, and a good one. Fast one, too […]
White Sox 0 Blue Jays 1 You really shouldn’t win if you only score one run. I’d search to figure this out, but there are very few 1-0 games in a season. We got our run in the fourth. Vladimir Guerrero doubled off the center wall, just a couple of feet short of a home […]

Here’s the good news: After winning a wild game last night, the Royals have a shot to take the series with a W this afternoon. The bad news: They’re going to have to do it with Randy Dobnak taking a turn in the rotation because Stephen Kolek needs a tune-up start for Omaha (also occurring […]
Given how much the White Sox have crushed right handed starters recently, Sox fans seeing another righty on the schedule may well go, “Oh, yesss!!” Then when they see who it is, they may well go, “Oh, noooo!!!” And then, when they look at recent stats, they’ll be back to, “Oh, yesss!!” again. That’s because […]
A victory on Saturday would give the White Sox a season-high four consecutive road victories, and would match a franchise record for six-straight wins over the Blue Jays, which they haven’t pulled off since 2016. Everson Pereira and Drew Thorpe begin rehab assignments with the ACL White Sox on Saturday, while Austin Hays began his rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday night.

The White Sox opened the second half with a dominant 12-4 win over Toronto, proving they're ready to build momentum before a challenging stretch of games.
Bo Bichette's bombshell signing with the New York Mets this past offseason appears like it'll be a one-and-done. All indications are that he'll be opting out of the remaining two years of his outlanding $42M AAV deal to try his hand at free agency once again. And because of the heavily front-loaded cash structure, he was paid a $40 million signing bonus immediately on March 15, leaving him with a base salary of only $2 million for the 2026 season. Teams will have no burden fina...
Last season, the White Sox came out of the All-Star break with a 10-1 pasting of the Pittsburgh Pirates , the first of three convincing victories in front of many Sox Machine subscribers at PNC Park. It set the tone for a respectable second-half showing that they rolled into a surprising first-place showing during the first half of the 2026 season. This time, the Sox came out of the break by sending waves of offense against the Toronto Blue Jays. They blitzed Spencer Miles for five runs in t...
Well, I guess the four day break didn’t solve everything that’s wrong with the Blue Jays. This one got out of hand early, with the eventual winning run scoring in the second inning. The pitching was bad, and while the offence managed three home runs they were still held to just seven hits by an […]
The season may be 162 games long, but there are certain games that hold more weight than others. In the case of the White Sox, there are few that will hold as much weight as tonight’s game being the first after the All-Star break. It set the tone for the second half, which will be […]

With the All-Star break now behind us, it’s back to the grind of the MLB season. In what can only be described as the shock of the season, the Chicago White Sox enter the second half of the season tied for first atop the AL Central. With 67 games left, the final push for the […]
The San Diego Padres finally managed to win a series, pushing past the Toronto Blue Jays to take their first series in July. After an 8-7 comeback win on Saturday night, the Friars pulled off the same feat with a 5-4 comeback on Sunday afternoon. Those wins gave their offense some much needed momentum heading […]
I’m busy all day today, so getting a Game Thread together early in case I can’t get to it later. Lineups haven’t been announce yet. Spencer Miles (4-1, 2.85) and former Jay Anthony Kay (6-4, 4.23). I wonder if they can push Miles thru five innings? At least the pen is rested. Hopefully some time […]
With the revelation on Thursday that only five New York Mets are untouchable in trade talks, Francisco Lindor's name was glaringly not on that list . The five-time All-Star shortstop is already being linked to the Toronto Blue Jays. Sportsnet's Jeff Blair says there is a "preexisting relationship between the Jays & Lindor," in regards to the current Toronto front office duo of Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins having been with Cleveland when Lindor arrived as a star. Insider Jeff Passan...
