The Chicago White Sox delivered one of the loudest offensive performances of the MLB season Friday night, turning a division matchup into a 22-1 rout of the Kansas City Royals at Guaranteed Rate Field. The White Sox overwhelmed the Royals with 23 hits, five home runs, and a 10-run third inning. The win moved Chicago […]

David Lesky reviews Seth Lugo’s start on Thursday. He spoke before the season about wanting to use his fastballs more. I’m assuming that was his four-seamer, sinker and cutter. He’s thrown them about 52 percent of the time last year after throwing them about 50 percent of the time last year. I would argue that […]
The White Sox laid a 22-1 beatdown on the Royals on Friday, tying the second-highest run total in Chicago’s 126-year history in the majors. Tristan Peters‘ six-RBI night was fueled by a grand slam in the sixth inning, while Miguel Vargas and Jacob Gonzalez also collected five RBI apiece. The emphatic victory and the Guardians’ […]
It’s not every day you see your favorite team score 10 runs in a game. It’s even more rare to see them score 10 runs in a single inning, but that’s what the Chicago White Sox did Friday night. In a rare game that was over by the end of the third inning, the White […]
Whatever number of fans that showed up to Rate Field specifically for the postgame concert by Marshmello were treated to a surprise in-game show featuring Mitch Spence None The Richer.
Even though the Royals opened this game with a righty in Steven Cruz, the White Sox stacked left-handed hitters in the middle of the order in anticipation of the right-handed Mitch Spence coming in next.

It is the end of the sixth inning; the White Sox are leading 17-1. The Royals scored their only run on a double play groundball after David Sandlin walked the bases loaded following a 10-run bottom of the third inning. This comes one night after the Royals were almost no-hit in Tampa Bay and lost […]
A weird and wacky season has continued for the Chicago White Sox, and only time will tell how this upcoming series with the lowly Kansas City Royals will play out. On the surface, the South Siders should be able to roll over Kansas City and at least take the series. With that being said, this […]
Normally, I like to get the game preview started relatively early. Usually, we know the pitching matchups well ahead of time, and I can start at least writing about the pitchers and get most of the preview done. Then I can add the lineups and a couple of sentences about those closer to game time. […]
David Sandlin has been called up (Joe Rock was optioned) to start for the White Sox Friday night at the open of a three-game set against the Royals.
A productive Triple-A arm (1.57 ERA in 23 innings with Charlotte) with major league experience is a nice, traditional solution to a hole in the major league rotation. But Sandlin was sent down after his previous three-start audition for pretty inarguable performance struggles (8.10 ERA), and being lined up against Noah Schultz having a third reh...
The Kansas City Royals have reached the season midpoint at 34-48, fourteen games below .500 and sitting in last place in the AL Central. It is not where anyone wanted to be, but Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco find more to talk about than the record alone would suggest. The headline story continues to be […]
Yesterday’s game was no fun at all. Let’s pretend that didn’t happen. Earlier this week, Seth Lugo hit a major milestone. Jaylon Thompson writes about his career arc: Prior to the club’s series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field, Lugo was recognized for his 10 years of Major League Baseball service time.

On October 1 of 2023, Zack Greinke took the mound one final time. A five-inning, one-run performance ultimately leading to a win in front of the Kansas City Royals faithful closing out the season, and for Greinke a career, with smiles in Kansas City. Smiles that had to be dusted off and practiced after rarely […]

The Tampa Bay Rays narrowly missed out on their first combined no-hitter and second overall no-no in Thursday’s 13-2 win versus the Kansas City Royals, but they still accomplished a remarkable piece of history just the same. Kevin Cash’s ballclub became the first MLB team to carry a no-hit bid into the ninth inning while […]

Two high-intensity earthquakes struck Venezuela in a 39-second interval on Wednesday. The calamity deeply affected multiple Venezuelan natives playing in MLB, including Victor Bericoto of the SF Giants and the Kansas City Royals’ infield coach, Jose Aguacil. Venezuelan natives associated with MLB had to battle hours of uncertainty before they got updates from their family […]

The Chicago Cubs need rotation help. This, we know. The Kansas City Royals are likely to be sellers at the trade deadline, as they sit buried near the bottom of the American League. One proposed blockbuster deal that could totally get the Cubs out of their rotation woes, while super-charging a Royals' rebuild, comes to us from Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report. Chicago Cubs receive: RHP Seth Lugo RHP Michael Wacha Kansas City Royals receive: SS Jefferson Rojas (Cubs' No. 1 pro...
The Royals released right-handers Luke Jackson and Aaron Sanchez from minor league contracts this week, according to the MiLB.com transaction tracker. Kansas City also announced Wednesday that they’ve added infielder Andrew Velazquez on a minor league deal. Jackson is the only of those three players who was in the big leagues as recently as last season. The 34-year-old […]

Nelson was moved to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man spot. 12:01pm: The Diamondbacks signed veteran outfielder Max Kepler to a one-year deal earlier this month as the 33-year-old wrapped up the final stages of an 80-game PED suspension. He’s […]
In an ugly display of baseball futility, the Royals dropped the series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays, 13-2. The Rays, utilizing their bullpen for the entire game, didn’t allow a Royals hit until the ninth inning when Carter Jensen hit a two-run home run, extending his hitting streak to 15 games. There really isn’t […]
The Tampa Bay Rays were a hit away from throwing a no-hitter early on Thursday. A combined no-hitter is not as fun, but it is still an impressive feat that hardly ever happens. After throwing eight no-hit innings thanks to a great opening from Casey Legumina and outing from Ian Seymour, longtime reliever Craig Kimbrel […]

The Rays were looking to wrap up their four-game homestand against the Royals with a split series, and they would have to do it bright and early, so hopefully they all had their coffee before the game. The Rays had Casey Legumina in an Opener role on the mound, up against Seth Lugo for the […]

Good…morning? Yes, good morning, everyone. To conclude their four-game series in St. Petersburg, the Royals and Rays face each other on this fine Thursday a.m. It’s not every day that you can watch baseball before noon–well, maybe it is if you live out west, but rare is this chance for Kansas Citians. At stake: the […]

Thanks to two homers from Paul Goldschmidt and a go-ahead shot from Jasson Domínguez, the Yankees maintained their cushion atop the AL and East Division standings with a 4-2 win on Wednesday night. While the Tigers aren’t the same playoff team that they’ve been the past two years, winning a road series over a team […]
