White Sox Minor League Update: May 6, 2026

Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 7, Charlotte Knights 6The Knights (17-18) nearly won their fourth in a row to move above .500, but they fell short, as the Jumbo Shrimp offense heated up late. Knights reliever Tyler Gilbert, 32, served as the opener in this game, and he performed admirably. Gilbert delivered two shutout innings to give […]

Second-inning spiral sinks White Sox in 7-2 loss to Angels

For a minute there in the top of the second when the Good Guys got on the board first, it felt like they might actually take the series. Then the bottom of the second inning happened, and poof, the vibes from the past couple of weeks packed up and left the building. Chicago dropped the […]

Game Thread: White Sox (17-19) at Angels (14-23)

The White Sox are back in the saddle this afternoon with a rubber match on tap against the Angels. The South Siders get a shot to prove this little hot streak isn’t just a mirage. They’ve won their last two series, and a victory today would make it three straight. They also have six wins […]

1903 The White Sox were charged with 11 errors in a game in Chicago vs. Detroit. While that’s a big story in itself, it’s not the most remarkable item to come out of this game. What is the most remarkable item to come out of this game is the fact that the Sox won the game, 10-9, scoring three […]

Journey to .500 on hold as Angels defeat White Sox, 4-3

The White Sox (17-19) fought to the very end, but the bats were inconsistent with runners in scoring position, and the Angels (14-23) knocked Erick Fedde around as the Good Guys dropped game two of their LA road trip, 4-3. Now just two games under, the South Siders are hopefully just taking the scenic route […]

White Sox Minor League Update: May 5, 2026

Charlotte Knights 5, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 3Shane Murphy, fresh off the bus from Birmingham, made it through three innings before he hit a spot of trouble in the fourth and fifth. The Jumbo Shrimp pecked him for three runs on eight hits, but just one went for extra bases. It wasn’t a meltdown, but hardly […]

Game Thread: White Sox (17-18) at Angels (13-23)

After a convincing shutout win behind Davis Martin to open up the series in Los Angeles, the White Sox have a chance to bring their record to .500 with another W tonight. The overall vibe with this team, who is playing like they have nothing to lose and everything to gain, has been contagious across […]

White Sox Weekly: April 27 – May 3, 2026

Winning is fun. For the first time in the 2026 season, the White Sox had a winning week. What started as an astonishing sweep of the Los Angeles Angels ended with a near sweep and series win in San Diego. Sunday’s loss capped a 5-1 week and saw the South Siders just two games below […]

Today in White Sox History: May 5

1901 It was just the 11th game in White Sox MLB history, but still remains as likely the ugliest game the team ever played. In a 21-7 pummeling at the hands of the 2-8 Milwaukee Brewers, the White Sox allowed 25 hits and committed nine errors! While weather conditions up north aren’t known for this […]

White Sox ride Martin and Munetaka to 6-0 romp over Angels

The Force was strong with the White Sox tonight as they shut out the Angels with a 6-0 win. Davis Martin reached a career-high double-digit strikeout milestone, and Munetaka Murakami finally doubled! José Soriano started off the night with back-to-back walks, but redeemed himself with back-to-back strikeouts. But Soriano’s woes could not be escaped for […]

Game Thread: White Sox (16-18) at Angels (13-22)

The last time the White Sox saw the Angels was just last week, and it ended with a White Sox sweep at home. This time, the Good Guys are coming off a series win against the Padres during this latest West Coast road trip, and seeing the somehow even worse-for-wear Angels for the second and […]

Today in White Sox History: May 4

1929 Lou Gehrig hit the second-ever roof shot at Comiskey Park, off of Red Faber. The blast opened scoring for the Yankees, tying the game, 1-1, in the top of the second inning. It was the first of three home runs for Gehrig in the game, the second of which came in the middle of […]

Sox fazed by Friars, drop series finale, 4-3

If you had told me about six weeks ago how disappointed I would be at the Sox losing a 4-3 nailbiter and failing to complete a series sweep against one of the National League’s better teams, I probably would’ve told you that it was a good thing. And I would be correct! While today’s tight […]

White Sox Minor League Update: May 3, 2026

The big news today came from a player participating in very likely his last game in Double-A: Braden Montgomery, South Side Sox’s No. 1 White Sox prospect, is joining the Triple-A Charlotte Knights on his way up to the South Side. Montgomery has been outstanding so far in 2026, slashing .313/.429/.606 and hitting six homers […]

Game Thread: White Sox (16-17) at Padres (19-13)

When I wrote the game thread for last Sunday’s eventual loss, I described the vibe of the 2026 White Sox as something akin to the “Ricky’s Boys Don’t Quit” team that, in 2019, gave fans their first glimpse of post-rebuild promise after two years of triple-digit losses. Now, after three years of triple-digit losses, I’m […]

Today in White Sox History: May 3

1918 The White Sox set their record for biggest win in team history, trouncing the Tigers by 16 runs, 19-3. With a 6-0 lead in the second inning, the visitors put the game away early. The club also set their record for most hits in a game, with 25. Buck Weaver paced the Pale Hose […]

Burke dethrones King in 4-0 Sox victory

Where the White Sox bats exploded early in the ballgame yesterday, today, the pitchers steered the first half of today’s story. Michael King and Sean Burke were trading goose eggs like baseball cards, while hitters were just trying to get a pack of cards for themselves. The Sox tried to stir trouble in the second […]

White Sox Minor League Update: May 2, 2026

Charlotte Knights 21, Gwinnett Stripers 1The Charlotte Knights (15-17) routed he Gwinnett Stripers (20-12), 21-1, as the Knights offense exploded for 22 hits while the pitching staff held Gwinnett to just six knocks and one earned run. In three separate frames the Charlotte bats posted four runs — the second, seventh, and eighth — alongside […]

Game Thread: White Sox (15-17) at Padres (19-12)

Winning is fun! The Chicago White Sox are on a four-game winning streak and have won three of their last four series. The Good Guys look to extend both streaks tonight, to five and four. After notching his first career road win on April 22 in Arizona, Sean Burke takes the bump tonight and looks […]

Today in White Sox History: May 2

1901 The White Sox were part of the first forfeit in American League history. After the Detroit Tigers took a lead with five runs in the top of the ninth, rain began. White Sox players began stalling, hoping to have the game wash out and be called as of the last full inning played (the […]

White Sox, Schultz win a laffer over Padres, 8-2

The White Sox have been worse than .500 all season long, so declaring them a must-watch team seems a bit hyperbolic. But Friday’s 8-2 annihilation of a Padres team very strong out of the gate — 5 1/2 games better than Chicago entering play — touched on the three players most likely to make you […]

White Sox Minor League Update: May 1, 2026

Gwinnett Stripers 4, Charlotte Knights 3The Knights seemed to be doing fine with their 1-0 lead, courtesy of an RBI double from Oliver Dunn in the fifth, but then Luke Bell took the mound. After seven strong games in High-A, the decision to advance Bell to Triple-A and bypass Birmingham turned out to be a […]

Game Thread: White Sox (14-17) at Padres (19-11)

Welcome to Noah Schultz Night! And quite a late night it is, with the White Sox back on the West Coast, taking on the high-flying Padres. Basically beyond his first inning in the major leagues, Schultz has been spectacular, certainly better than advertised for a 22-year-old whose 2025 wasn’t terribly impressive/marred by injury. A new […]
