Latest news and updates about the White Sox
I don’t have a lot of money, and I’m on a payment plan for my taxes this year. It’s almost done, and not particularly bad — just another bill at the end of the month. Except for several months now, I’ve been paying a different kind of bill at the end of each week, one […]
1910 In the seventh game ever played there, Comiskey Park saw its first wild pitch and first extra-inning game. The White Sox lost, 6-5, in 10 innings. Joe Lake of the Browns and Chicago’s Jim Scott both threw wild pitches in the game. A total of 5,200 fans showed up on a Tuesday makeup game […]
The danger in taking a few days to gather up everything that happened in a recently completed month is that even though the box is closed, it might not be airtight, and the performance over the first fresh week that follows can color it, if not contaminate it. Case in point: The White Sox posting an over-.500 record in June is a triumph. Not only is it a second consecutive winning month for a team that had gone 17 months without one , but they kept their heads above water during the toughest...
Caleb Bonemer commemorated the Fourth of July with his best Double-A game yet. Granted, he was only 16 games into his Barons career, so it had to do more with the sample size than a sense of American history, but Bonemer notched his first three-hit game and two-homer game with the Barons. He first sliced… The post White Sox Minor Keys: July 4, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .
After two nights of being walked off, the White Sox reversed course, pushing to a 3-1 lead late and then locking the win up with zero drama. In the process, Sean Burke dazzled through six with a career-high strikeout night, Colson Montgomery celebrated a year since his debut by putting two of the three runs […]
Colson Montgomery didn't get named to the American League All-Star team on Saturday night, so he settled for starring in the White Sox's effort to re-tie the American League Central in Cleveland instead. On the one-year anniversary of his major league debut, Montgomery staked the Sox to an early first inning lead by shanking a Parker Messick fastball off the outer edge for a two-out RBI double down the left field line, plating the newly minted AL All-Star Miguel Vargas after a leadoff walk. ...
The Chicago White Sox have plenty of reasons to be upset about the 2026 MLB All-Star Game rosters.
Recently my wife had me watch a wild show from Taiwan called The Resurrected , which seemed to end its gory and off-the-wall nine episodes by setting up an ill-advised second season. Anyways, one of its central premises was that torturing someone who is devoid of hope is not as fulfilling of revenge as torturing them with the illusion of hope. Just something to chew on as the White Sox try to salvage a split in Cleveland. The post First pitch: White Sox at Guardians appeared first on Sox M...
The Chicago White Sox need to add to their roster if they want to overtake the Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one fan base to dissolve the contractual bands which have connected them with their bullpen, and to assume, among the powers of baseball, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s commissioner entitle them — first place in […]
TODAY: The Orioles announced that Keegan cleared waivers and was outrighted to Double-A. JULY 1: The Orioles announced Wednesday morning that they’ve reinstated right-hander Dean Kremer from the 60-day injured list. He’ll start against the White Sox in a couple hours. Baltimore designated minor league catcher Dom Keegan for assignment to clear a spot on […]
1911Ty Cobb brought a 40-game hit streak into a game facing Ed Walsh, and the White Sox sace shut him down at 0-for-4 in a 7-3 win over the Tigers. Walsh earned his 14th win and chiseled his ERA down to 0.55 (!). Interestingly, he gave up 10 hits in his complete-game win — just […]
Two walkoffs in as many nights have put the Guardians a game ahead of the White Sox in the AL Central race. After Brayan Rocchio‘s two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth sealed a 6-5 victory on Thursday, Kahlil Watson was the hero on Friday with a 10th-inning walkoff single and a 4-3 Guards […]
At the end of May, we kicked off a Minor Keys by discussing an article by Yahoo! Sports’ Jake Mintz about the concerning state of rookie ball, symbolized by many teams lacking the pitching to routinely play nine innings. That limits the reps for young prospects who need them the most, and puts them in… The post White Sox Minor Keys: July 3, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .
Even after the last two nights, the Guardians have a ways to go to catch the White Sox for walk-off hits on the season, but they'll settle for the AL Central division lead instead. The Sox have made a name for themselves largely with power, and hit six of the seven farthest struck batted balls on Friday night. But five of them went for outs, where as a pair of hard grounders from Travis Bazzana and Khalil Watson off Sean Newcomb plated a game-winning Manfred Man for Cleveland in the 10th, th...
After both the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox had no issues scoring last night, there was no doubt that this game would be much more likely to end as a pitcher’s duel. True to form, the game ended up being exactly what most fans expected — until a rain delay changed the fortunes of […]
Memphis Redbirds 4, Charlotte Knights 3 (11 innings)The Knights and Redbirds were locked in fierce competition, but Memphis came out on top. The evening started quickly but died soon after. Edgar Quero must’ve read my June White Sox checkup and took my critiques of him personally, because his first home run with the Knights since […]

--Sam Antonacci finished second in voting to Toronto's Kazuma Okamoto for American League rookie of the month for June. --Miguel Vargas recently have a very Miguel Vargas-branded response to a question on how he's handling the workload of playing pretty much every game this season. He's played 85 of 86 so far. The post First pitch: White Sox at Guardians appeared first on Sox Machine .
Although the Chicago White Sox went 6-3 over nine games heading into their series with the Cleveland Guardians, a Chicago loss in the opening game draws the two teams even atop the AL Central. With three games left to go, someone will be leaving this series with a lead in the divisional race. Last night, […]
The Orioles placed their closer, right-hander Ryan Helsley, on the 15-day injured list with right elbow discomfort. The move is retroactive to June 30th. Manager Craig Albernaz intended to use Helsley in the ninth inning of Wednesday’s game against the Chicago White Sox, but he reported that he felt discomfort when he was warming up. […]
If the Chicago White Sox want to be a playoff team, they need to win on the road, and to do that, they need confidence.
It was, admittedly, an impossible question: Who is the White Sox first-half MVP? With an impressive eight players hovering at least at the 2.0 WAR-level (i.e. “starter” value for a full season) and no absolute standout as the clear MVP for the early season, our survey dished out many options. The results were a little […]
1901 With a 4-3 win in 11 innings at Cleveland, the White Sox won their 10th straight game, which remains one of only 15 double-figure win streaks in franchise history. The club was swept in an Independence Day doubleheader the next day. In this, their first year in the major leagues, the White Sox won […]
As Chicago remains in first place in the AL Central, a feel-good story has become something much more.
