Murakami stays red hot as White Sox pour it on in 11-5 victory

After a truly insane nine innings of baseball, the White Sox (9-14) won their second game in a row, taking the first game of the series against the Diamondbacks (13-10), 11-5. The South Side bats were on fire, the pitching was solid, and the defense was making diving plays all over the place — it […]

White Sox Minor League Update: April 21, 2026

Nashville Sounds 5, Charlotte Knights 1Duncan Davitt held it down for four frames, surrendering very little. A pair of doubles, a wild pitch, and a walk — but nothing that broke. Nashville scratched and clawed, and Davitt kept wriggling free. Ben Peoples followed and tossed two scoreless, hitless innings, and then the seventh showed up. […]

Game Thread: White Sox (8-14) at Diamondbacks (13-9)

The White Sox snapped their series drought over the weekend, taking two of three from the Athletics for their first series win since early April against the Blue Jays. They now head out to the desert to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks for a three-game set. In some good news, the South Siders are shockingly […]

White Sox Weekly: April 13-19, 2026

Last week, the White Sox were 2-5. Over this past seven-day stretch, they were 2-5. Sounds like an emerging pattern. The week opened with incredibly positive energy as the club called up Noah Schultz on Tuesday, and, after a miscommunication, brought up Sam Antonacci on Wednesday. Promoting the organization’s No. 2 and No. 9 prospects […]

1900 The White Stockings played their first regular season game as part of the American League, at South Side Park (former grounds of the Chicago Wanderers cricket club). They’d drop a 5-4 decision in 10 innings to the Milwaukee Brewers, who were managed by Connie Mack. The 1900 season isn’t officially recognized by baseball because […]

How worried are you about an MLB work stoppage, and who will you most blame?

We’ve done this dance before. Every few years, things start to get tense. Negotiations stall, statements get a little sharper, and suddenly the words “work stoppage” start creeping back into the conversation like a bad memory you thought you’d buried. And if you’re a White Sox fan, or just a baseball fan with any kind […]

Today in White Sox History: April 20

1910In a 1-0 win during Chicago’s final season at South Side Park, Cleveland’s Addie Joss no-hit the White Sox for the second time in three seasons. Context clues from the box score suggest possibly just one South Side runner, Freddy Parent, even reached second base. Doc White scattered five singles and a double, holding Cleveland […]

White Sox Minor League Update: April 19, 2026

Charlotte Knights 9, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 4Both teams posted eight hits, but the Knights (9-11) were more efficient (3-for-10 with runners in scoring position) to defeat the Jumbo Shrimp (11-10) in the series finale, 9-4. The Charlotte bats were hot to start the game, putting up four runs quickly in the top of the first, which […]

Sox spring forward with 7-4 game, series win over Athletics

In such a short period of time, dare I say that Noah Schultz has really, truly, already arrived? It almost seems too good to be true, for somebody who’s gotten plenty used to even the best White Sox prospect requiring some adjustment time in the majors. But the young condor-like lefty is is looking like […]

Game Thread: White Sox (7-14) at Athletics (11-10)

It’s Noah Schultz day, everyone! The second big league start for the highly-hyped 22-year-old Chicagoland native is imminent, making for one of the more highly anticipated April contests in recent memory. Let’s make a few observations about Schultz’s debut start so we can understand what we might expect today. Per Baseball Savant, Schultz flashed his […]

1907 Ed Walsh tied a major league record in a 1-0 win over St. Louis — but not for his pitching prowess. In this game, it was his fielding, as Walsh had 11 assists and 13 total chances in the field. There is no play-by-play data available for the game so it’s uncertain whether the […]

White Sox Minor League Update: April 18, 2026

Charlotte Knights 2, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 0Finally snapping their four-game losing streak, the Knights defeated the Jumbo Shrimp behind a quality one-hit outing from Shane Smith. Thanks to the elite pitching, five hits for Charlotte was all it took, with two of those being solo home runs from Michael Turner and Jarred Kelenic in the […]

Game Thread: White Sox (7-13) at A’s (10-10)

Unfortunately, pleasurable though being on the winning side of a blowout may be, the rules say you have to start the next game all over again at 0-0. That’s a bad break for the White Sox, who had about as many hits last night as they’d had in a normal week over the past four […]

White Sox Minor League Update: April 17, 2026

Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 4, Charlotte Knights 1Sleepy Charlotte checked out of the game to give Jacksonville an easy 4-1 win, extending the losing streak to four. Although 12 strikeouts and five hits are poor stats, at least Rikuu Nishida notched his first Triple-A home run on a nasty slider that kept Charlotte from being shut […]

Game Thread: White Sox (6-13) at Athletics (10-9)

For their first West Coast road trip of the year, the Chicago White Sox need to find some gold. They’re looking to do so against the hot Athletics, who are 9-4 in their last 13 games. It’ll be a tall task, but if the Sox were able to dig deep and sweep the Toronto Blue […]

White Sox Minor League Update: April 16, 2026

Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 5, Charlotte Knights 3The Knights (7-10) took a 2-0 lead into the fifth and posted the same number of hits (seven) as the Jumbo Shrimp (10-8), but the Charlotte bullpen allowed five earned runs while the offense went 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position to seal their third loss in a row, […]

White Sox find new way to lose to Rays, 5-3

The automatic ball/strike system sure was a White Sox buddy this afternoon. That is, until a time came when even your friends couldn’t help enough. The Rays tried to be friendly, too, leaving 14 runners on base. That is, until the Sox pitching staff decided it was unfair not to let them score. The first […]

Game Thread: Rays (10-7) at White Sox (6-12)

The White Sox will be trying to salvage a win in a series where they’ve been pretty well thumped in the first two games, and the pitching staff may give a try at keeping the Rays to fewer than eight runs while they’re at it. This will be the first game where there’s no one […]

White Sox spoil back-to-back prospect debuts, lose another to Rays

Tonight’s game felt almost like déjà vu from Tuesday. The Rays (10-7) once again put up eight runs while a prominent Chicago prospect made their major league debut, dealing the White Sox (6-12) back-to-back losses, 8-3. Righthander Sean Burke was doing all right through four innings despite giving up a solo shot to Junior Caminero […]

White Sox Minor League Update: April 15, 2026

Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 3, Charlotte Knights 2The Knights (7-9) struggled in high-leverage situations, finishing 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position. As a result, they dropped a close game against the Jumbo Shrimp (9-8). Knights starter Duncan Davitt only pitched 2 1/3 innings, but he didn’t allow much damage. Davitt allowed a walk and a pair […]

Game Thread: Welcome to the show, Sam Antonacci

Happy Jackie Robinson Day to all who celebrate! The White Sox (6-11) dropped the first game of a three-game set with the Rays Tuesday behind Noah Schultz in his MLB debut, and righthander Sean Burke will take the mound in an effort to create any form of positive momentum for the team. As it stands, […]
