Royals 5, White Sox 4: Trading fours, then resting

After rallying to erase a 4-0 lead with one big wave in the third, Chase Meidroth had a golden opportunity to put the White Sox in front for the first time all night when he stood at the plate with a bases loaded and worked a 3-0 count against Seth Lugo. Lugo got back into the count with a sinker up and in for strike one. He then threw a sinker even more up and even more in, and had Meidroth not moved, it might have hit him. But Meidroth moved. In fact, he swung for some reason, and popped...

Game Thread: White Sox (81-76) at Royals (67-90)

The White Sox scored 14 runs Tuesday night, so hopefully there’s still a little gas left in the tank. A little less drama on the pitching side would be nice, too. Trevor Richards and Luis Castillo combined to give up seven runs over two innings in the 14-11 victory. Yikes. That win, paired with a […]

Royals vs. White Sox September 23 game discussion

There was a brief moment for just over two weeks in August when the Royals went 13-2 and looked like they were putting some things together. Since then, they have lost series to the Marlins, Blue Jays, Diamondbacks, Red Sox, Astros, and then got swept by the Pirates. If they lose tonight, it will be […]

What lessons can the Royals learn from the Rays and Brewers?

The White Sox have never had a bench player quite like Randal Grichuk

Not to say that Randal Grichuk has conditioned White Sox fans to expect great things when he's at the plate, but his 4-for-5 night against the Royals on Tuesday was somehow slightly diminished by knowing how close he came to hitting for the cycle. He just needed his slicing drive in the seventh inning to elude Kyle Isbel's diving attempt in center field, but Isbel was able to knock it down and limit Grichuk to his second double of the night. "I was just hoping it got down and saw him leavi...
