Today in White Sox History: October 19

1909 Hugh Duffy took over as the fifth White Sox manager of all time, after Billy Sullivan had a disappointing 78-74 year in his one year at the player-manager helm. Just as Sullivan’s defensive genius didn’t serve him particularly well as a skipper, Duffy was a Hall of Fame player who ended up a lousy […]

Today in White Sox History: October 18

1912 The White Sox capped the most amazing City Series ever, having rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win the final four and take the crown. And on this day, in front of a Comiskey Park crowd of 14,985, the South Siders walloped the Cubs, 16-0. The rout would stand as the biggest win and […]

White Sox’s sluggers struggled against right-handed heat, and not just in October

Rewatching Game 5 of the American League Division Series is painful , even for those who don't root for the Chicago White Sox. Constantly seeing major league hitters look slow and unaware is jarring, as White Sox hitters clearly didn’t know what pitches to look for in each at-bat. Cleveland starter Gavin Williams threw more breaking stuff early in the count , getting first-pitch strikes in 11 of 16 plate appearances. Then, when it was time to throw heat, Williams, fueled by postseason adrenali...

Whither baseball … and the White Sox within it?

Sure, White Sox fans are divided between the majority who consider 2026 and the possible hand from Pope Leo the greatest case of divine intervention since the parting of the Red Sea, and those who think a little more intervention in the way of actually getting hitters to put the bat on the ball in […]

A tribute to So Taguchi: World Series Champion

In recent years, the Phillies have expressed a desire to sign a player coming to Major League Baseball from Japan. It makes sense considering the many Japanese imports who have succeeded recently. Just last season, Munetaka Murakami provided the White Sox a huge boost, while Kazuma Okamoto was a strong contributor for the Blue Jays. […]

Sporcle Saturday: Your 2026 Chicago White Sox

Good morning! For the first time in five years, this annual Sporcle Saturday arrives in mid-October rather than the first weekend after the regular season. While it was looking like this post might have been delayed another week, alas, all good things must come to an end . While it's a misattribution to Dr. Seuss, the sentiment still applies: "Don't cry because it’s over, smile because it happened”. This season provided the most quiz fodder of any season since I began posting a weekly Spor...

‘Moneyball-like’ ways of Rays and Brewers offer blueprint to Rockies

As the Rockies try to claw their way back to winning, there has been lots of discussion about how the organization needs to follow the example of the Chicago White Sox, who went from 102 losses in 2025 to the playoffs this season. President of baseball operations Paul DePodesta and manager Warren Schaeffer have both talked […]

Biggest post-postseason questions for the White Sox

For a team predicted to bust before the first pitch on Opening Day was thrown, the Chicago White Sox managed to usurp expectations and delay disappointment until October 10, when they lost the ALDS after blowing a 2-0 series lead to the Guardians. Optimists may say that criticism can only go so far when a […]

Today in White Sox History: October 16

1912 The White Sox continued their climb back into the City Series with a 7-5 win at Comiskey Park that cut the team’s deficit in the Series to 3-2. Joe Benz was the hero, with six innings of relief to earn the win but also the single that spurred the winning rally: With the Cubs […]

Justin Ishbia’s big bet on the South Loop

Ever since he changed his mind about buying the Minnesota Twins , Chicago White Sox fans have hoped that Justin Ishbia's future ownership will bring major transformation, shifting from a current operational model of a mid-to-small market team to one that acts like a major-city franchise with significant financial might. But for Ishbia, the White Sox are just one piece of his grand plan.  His vision isn't just to help the White Sox reach new heights, but to revitalize Chicago’s South Loop nei...

Offseason Outlook: Chicago White Sox

The White Sox became the first team ever to follow three consecutive 100-loss seasons with a playoff berth. They knocked out the Astros for their first series win in two decades in the Wild Card Series. It was an excellent season relative to expectations, though they surely feel they squandered an opportunity by failing to […]

AL Central Notes: Caminero, Melton, White Sox, Holderman

The ALCS matchup between the Guardians and Rays has put the spotlight back on one of the most infamous trades in Cleveland baseball history — the November 2021 swap that sent Junior Caminero to Tampa Bay in exchange for right-hander Tobias Myers, who never threw a big league pitch in a Guards uniform.  Myers was […]

Guardians fans will want to see these stats after massive Game 3 win

The Cleveland Guardians have had a memorable postseason after coming back from an 0-2 deficit to defeat the Chicago White Sox in the American League Division Series. That victory has given them the opportunity to face the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALCS. In all best-of-seven postseason series tied 1-1, the Game 3 winner has […] The post Guardians fans will want to see these stats after massive Game 3 win appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Chris Getz lauds White Sox for 2026 successes before setting out to build on them

Given that his team squandered a 2-0 lead in the ALDS to the Cleveland Guardians, Chris Getz couldn't exactly take a victory lap in his year-end media session with reporters on Wednesday, but although he acknowledged the heartbreak of being eliminated from the postseason, he still wanted to use the platform to express a (defensible) amount of satisfaction not seen from a Chicago White Sox executive in recent years. "As a whole, it certainly stings to be eliminated from the playoffs the way t...

Murakami earns his peers’ respect: Mune named Players Choice Award finalist

The finish was frustrating. The power was undeniable. And the players who shared the field with Munetaka Murakami apparently saw plenty worth recognizing. The White Sox first baseman was named one of three finalists for the American League Outstanding Rookie Award in the MLBPA’s Players Choice Awards on Wednesday, joining Detroit’s Kevin McGonigle and Cleveland’s […]
