Latest news and updates about the White Sox
It is Kyle Bradish day for the Orioles, and hopefully that is a good thing. Prior to the start of this season, you’d have bet for sure that it was, as the one-time Top 5 Cy Young Award finisher has been a dark wizard on the mound, even after missing time for Tommy John surgery. […]
The Chicago White Sox are once again looking to avoid yet another series loss. They’ll try to salvage the finale against the Baltimore Orioles this afternoon after dropping the first two games of the set. It’s not quite panic time because it’s far too early for that, but a win would at least allow fans […]
1963 On this date, one of the biggest “what if’s” in franchise history took place. As per the rules at the time, the White Sox had to choose between two pitchers signed to “bonus baby” contracts, as only one player signed to a deal for more than a certain amount of money could remain in […]
After the fisticuffs between Reynaldo Lopez and Jorge Soler, Walt Weiss had a bit of a problem. He had to get 4 1/3 from his bullpen, but ideally, while preserving a small lead. If the game were a blowout already, it would be easy to sacrifice Jose Suarez and move on from there, but that […]
Good morning Birdland, It’s amazing what a couple of wins can do for your team outlook. Coming into this White Sox series, it already felt like the Orioles’ season was on life support. Now, they have won two in a row, could wrap up a sweep today, get back to .500, and then head home […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in White Sox fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. This week, particularly in light of the brief hope we felt in sweeping the defending AL […]
We wrapped up our 2026 top 40 last week, but before we go we wanted to briefly note a few more guys who we find to be of some interest. Today, it’s the last cuts from the main list, and later Matt and I will each list a few guys we personally find interesting as […]
Memphis Red Birds 9, Charlotte Knights 4 (Statcast box) Jonathan Cannon, another day, another mess. He allowed a run in the first before getting a single out, found his groove for a minute, then promptly handed Memphis a solo bomb and a wild pitch in the fifth. Just like that, Redbirds up 3-0 and Charlotte […]
Two in a row. Write it down somewhere. Frame it, even! The 2026 Orioles, playing a 3:10 afternoon matinee in the cold because apparently, temperate weather is too much to ask of Chicago even in late April, have won consecutive games for the first time this season. They did so courtesy of a 4-2 Tuesday […]
A strange pitching matchup and a late-inning collapse killed the White Sox after leading for most of the game. Shane Smith tied his strikeout record and kept contact to a minimum, but the bullpen and cold bats couldn’t provide enough support to save the game. The Orioles took control late and never looked back. To […]
After a recent reschedule to dodge the cold, the White Sox will get another look at the Orioles this afternoon. Unfortunately, the weather hasn’t improved, and it’s actually colder than last night, so don’t expect many home runs or much offensive fireworks from either side. The team announced a few moves today after Austin Hays […]
No one who is directly involved was interested in there being a baseball game in the cold Chicago night this evening, so here we are for a 3:10 Eastern start time instead of what would have been 7:40. Everyone else must bear the mild inconvenience of a baseball game starting four and a half hours […]
1970 The worst White Sox team in history began their forgettable season by getting pounded, 12-0, at home by the Twins before just 11,473 fans. Starting pitcher Tommy John only lasted into the fifth inning by giving up six runs (five earned). The Sox would go on to lose a franchise-record 106 games and before the […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Is it dramatic to suggest that last night’s Orioles game against the White Sox was a must-win? Probably. But if the O’s had followed up an ugly sweep in Pittsburgh by losing to the two-time reigning worst team in the American League, even the most level-headed fans among us might have […]
It was a cold-night mix of sharp pitching and sloppy play, and despite a ninth-inning push, the White Sox managed just four hits in an anticlimactic end to their win streak. The Orioles didn’t do much better, though, with just seven hits. Both teams wasted the first inning, each stranding a player on second. Erick […]
After losing three games in a row over the weekend, the Orioles needed a win. And a win is what they got, even if it was a little too close for comfort. The offense was sluggish, this time against a team with a 6.19 ERA so far this year. Ryan Helsley struggled in the ninth […]
We all agree that the Orioles 3-6 start to the season is disappointing. But can we also talk about how it has been extremely weird? When Dean Kremer was optioned to the minors to start the season, common sense said that he’d be the next starter up. Then Zach Eflin got hurt, and the Orioles […]
Fresh off a three-game sweep of last season’s American League champs, the White Sox will host the Baltimore Orioles for a cold home stand. Some news and notes from the team ahead of the series: the White Sox claimed left-handed pitcher Doug Nikhazy off waivers from the Cleveland Guardians and have optioned him to Triple-A […]
After losing 2 of 3 against the Brewers, the Royals now take a short road trip to Cleveland early this week before returning home to face the White Sox later this week. The weather will be pretty cold in Cleveland for this series, so they’ve already moved tomorrow’s game up in time to be during […]
In 2026, I am determined to pay more attention. The White Sox are a team full of exciting young guys who should be coming into their own. A club that signed a noteworthy slugger from Japan in the offseason. A team where Will Venable finally has the coaching staff he wants. By all means, this […]
Baseball is such a peculiar sport. The Chicago White Sox just swept the Toronto Blue Jays, and that’s indicative of exactly diddly squat about those two teams. What we know for a fact is that no matter the campaign the Blue Jays will have had at the end of the year, it’ll be possible to […]
1993 The divisional championship season began with a night game in Minnesota, and a big 10-5 win over the Twins. Tim Raines had a three-run home run, and scored two runs. The White Sox would wind up winning the division by eight games, compiling 94 victories. Jack McDowell picked up the first of his 22 wins on the year […]
Not exactly the best week to face the Dodgers, as the Jays push through the weakest part of their schedule in 2026 going 4-5, topping it off being swept by the White Sox. The Jays have really struggled with their bullpen, with almost half their games going into extra innings, which is not something you […]
The first few series of this season were supposed to be the easy ones for the Orioles. They had a better 2025 record than each of their first three opponents and they don’t play a team that was better than .500 a year ago until they meet the Guardians on April 16. Three series into […]
Nashville Sounds 7, Charlotte Knights 5 (Gameday Box)Even though he tossed four walks, Tanner McDougal navigated his control issues fairly well, allowing just one run on a solo home run in the fourth, giving up two total hits and striking out three in his five innings. The unfortunate part of his outing was that the […]
