Latest news and updates about the White Sox
While yesterday’s extra-inning loss was certainly disappointing, it left little doubt in my mind that this is indeed a different Sox team than the moribund group we’ve become accustomed to over the last few years. Noah Schultz dominated, and while the power surges of Colson Montgomery and Munetaka Murakami have slowed down a bit, other […]
The Nats showed grit and clutch hitting in their extra inning win yesterday. That evened up the series and set up a rubber match this afternoon. This is a series both teams are going to really want to grab, so this will be a hotly contested game. For the second time this series, the White […]
Some players are fun. Then there are the ones who make you drop whatever you’re doing. Munetaka Murakami is that guy. Right now, White Sox fans are getting the rare treat of watching something special, and yes, it’s happening in real time right in front of us. Murakami didn’t show up to fireworks and a […]
Although only four of the five scheduled games ended up being played on Saturday, it was a plenty busy day. Particularly in Charlotte, where the ball was flying (39 runs in two games) during a Knights split. Plus, the roster shifted quite a bit before first pitcher, as Austin Hays and Chris Murphy started rehab […]
Perhaps the most memorable thing about this game from a White Sox perspective is that, according to the TV folks, it was only the second time since 1901 that four switch-hitting catchers appeared in the same game. Not much to that, you say? Well, it’s better than considering what happened on the field. Want another […]
Having smartly timed their turn to lead correctly in a seesaw game last night, the White Sox try to pick up another victory over the Nationals this afternoon, albeit under much different conditions. A nor’easter that hit overnight has dropped the temperature more than 20° from yesterday and produced 25 mph wind gusts that should […]
After the Nats lost a close one last night, they need to rebound and get back on track. They are 3-7 in their last 10, so a win this afternoon is much needed. The Nats will have to face a massive rookie lefty to get that win though. The Nats lineup looks very different today. […]
I was wrong. When the White Sox signed Munetaka Murakami to a two-year, $34-million deal, I immediately jumped to the conclusion that something was wrong with him. A cursory glance at his NPB stats snowballed into a statistical analysis on his hypothetical impact on the 2025 Sox before he even stepped foot in the batter’s […]
1951 White Sox slugger Eddie Robinson hit the first rooftop home run by a Chicago player at Comiskey Park. Robinson’s blast was off of Al Widmar of the Browns, in the third inning of an 8-6 White Sox win. It was the eighth all-time home run over the roof. Robinson hit 29 home runs that year and drove in 117 runs, […]
Charlotte Knights 11, Nashville Sounds 9The Knights pulled off their first three-game win streak of April in a duel that nearly came down to the wire. The bats steadily put up runs as the pitching slowly relented as the innings progressed. Jarred Kelenic, who is clinging to what prospect standing he retains after a rough […]
For a second there, it seemed like South Side Sox recaps might simply turn into Munetaka Murakami home-run watches. Based on the flat start to Friday’s game, a fairly hapless team effort against a mediocre opponent, perhaps. But the Good Guys rallied late, scraping and scrapping their way to four runs in their final three […]
I’m sure most of you are thinking that it’s WAY COOL that after a surprisingly successful road trip (4-2, two series wins!) out west that the home cooking will taste MIGHTY FINE with the Nationals in town. Yes, it’s true that no one is expecting anything from the Nasty Nats this season, the club is […]
The Nationals are hitting the road, where they have been a much better team this season. They will face a White Sox team that is pretty similar to themselves. Both are rebuilding teams that do not have great records but have shown flashes of a bright future. This should be a fun little series. The […]
1901 It wasn’t planned this way, but three games in other cities were postponed by rain, putting the White Sox in position to host the first major league game in American League history. Some 9,000 fans at South Side Park — or maybe it was 14,000, reports conflict — saw the home club beat the […]
The Nationals looked to even the series with the Braves yesterday afternoon at Nationals Park, and were in position to possibly steal the win going into the 7th inning tied 2-2. Unfortunately, the bullpen let them down once again, as Cionel Perez was tagged for 3 runs after getting just one out, bringing his ERA […]

Diamondbacks’ Sewald folds in 9th as Benintendi blast lifts White Sox Maybe once or twice a year, Diamondbacks closer Paul Sewald said, he will have the sort of outing in […]
Charlotte Knights 3, Nashville Sounds 2 (10 innings)The Knights staggered out of this one with a 3–2 walk-off in 10, now sitting at 11–12 on the season. Early fireworks included a Dru Baker ejection before the first pitch, then Jarred Kelenic went yard in the bottom of the first for a quick 1-0 lead. Tanner […]
After both teams combined to score 34 runs in the first two games of the series, the rubber match turned into a pitchers’ duel between Davis Martin and Michael Soroka. At least it was until the ninth. Arizona scored off Martin in the first on a Ketel Marte single and an Adrian Del Castillo double. […]
The Dbacks were not able to complete what would’ve been their 5th straight series win on Thursday as they lost to the Chicago White Sox on a 3 run home run in the top of the 9th inning. After the offensive explosion that happened last night at Chase Field with the 6 home runs, today […]

It’s rubber match time in the Battle of the Bats between two teams that have scored 34 runs, walloped 12 homers, and — most amazing — sped to six triples in the first two games of the series. On the White Sox side, Munetaka Murakami has homered in five games in a row, tying team […]
1919 Perhaps the most talented White Sox team ever opened the season in St. Louis and destroyed the Browns, 13-4. The offense pounded out 21 hits, which remains tied for 40th-most ever by the White Sox in a game. Lefty Williams got the win, throwing a complete game. Six months later, after winning the American League pennant, […]

This season, outside of a couple hiccups, has gotten off to an excellent start for the D-Backs. After a three-game sweep at the hands of the Dodgers to open season, the team has reeled off a 13-7 record and lost consecutive games just once to the major league leading Atlanta Braves. But these last two […]
Plenty of power. Not nearly enough pitching. That’s the story. The White Sox jumped out exactly how you’d want them to do. Back-to-back singles from Chase Meidroth and Miguel Vargas in the top of the first set the tone, and even after Munetaka Murakami went down looking, the pressure didn’t let up. Everson Pereira and […]
