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 […]
Today in White Sox History: April 21
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 […]
Today in White Sox History: April 19
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 […]
Both sides try to give it away, but White Sox pitchers are poorer as Sox lose to A’s in 11
When the White Sox took a 5-0 lead in the second inning, the game had the makings of another laugher. Instead, 10 walks by Sox pitchers and eight to go with four hit batters by the A’s staff turned a runaway win into a groaner, with the Sox losing, 7-6, in extras.. The big Sox […]
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 […]
Murakami mashes moonshot grand slam en route to Sox 9-2 victory over the A’s
I don’t want to take ALL the credit, but the White Sox put on a show for their first game out west this season and my first game back with South Side Sox. Let’s break it down because the scoring, taking advantage of the Athletics mistakes and making the plays on defense started early and […]
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, […]
Youth surge persists: Sam Antonacci gets promoted
The South Side isn’t messing around with its prospects. If last year was a youth wave, this year promises to bring a youth tsunami. On Wednesday, Springfield native Sam Antonacci was the third prospect of the 2026 season to be called up from Triple-A, immediately following the long-awaited arrival of Noah Schultz. Antonacci’s breakout in […]
Today in White Sox History: April 15
1915 It was the biggest shutout in team history, as the White Sox pasted St. Louis, 16-0. The Pale Hose put up seven runs before the home Browns even got to bat, and scored in every inning but the third, seventh and eighth. It was just a 15-hit assault with no homers, so how did […]
White Sox fall flat in Noah Schultz’s debut
It might not have been the perfect performance he hoped for, but Noah Schultz pushed through a rough first frame of his major league debut to finish his 4 1/3-inning outing strongly, despite the White Sox (6 -11) dropping the first game of the series to the Rays (9-7), 8-5. Schultz needed 33 pitches to […]
White Sox Minor League Update: April 14, 2026
Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 3, Charlotte Knights 0’Twas the series opener against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, not a run was scored — hardly any hits! Charlotte’s lackadaisical stat line tells the whole story. Three hits, three RBIs, and a whopping 13 strikeouts sprinkled throughout the lineup. Somehow, Jarred Kelenic, who’s barely hanging onto his professional career, […]
