Game Thread: White Sox (9-15) at Diamondbacks (14-10)
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, […]
Offense brings the boom, pitching brings the bust as White Sox fall 11-7 to the Diamondbacks
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 […]
White Sox Minor League Update: April 22, 2026
Charlotte Knights 9, Nashville Sounds 4The Knights (10-12) wasted no time getting started on offense, scoring nine runs in the first two innings to even the series against Nashville (12-10). The Knights took full advantage of some subpar control from Sounds starter Quinn Priester. Rikuu Nishida led off the bottom of the first with walk […]
Game Thread: White Sox (9-14) at Diamondbacks (13-10)
The White Sox are back at it tonight, looking to build on yesterday’s 11-5 win after consistently showing some life at the plate. Winners of three of their last four, the South Siders will try to string together another strong performance against the Diamondbacks. Last night was the first time they scored more than nine […]

1900 After a loss debuting in the American League on April 21, the White Sox split the weekend and got in the winning column with a 5-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in front of a Sunday crowd of 15,000 fans at South Side Park. The deciding run came in the seventh inning, snapping a […]
Murakami stays red hot as White Sox pour it on in 11-5 victory
After a truly insane nine innings of baseball, the White Sox (9-14) won their second game in a row, taking the first game of the series against the Diamondbacks (13-10), 11-5. The South Side bats were on fire, the pitching was solid, and the defense was making diving plays all over the place — it […]
White Sox Minor League Update: April 21, 2026
Nashville Sounds 5, Charlotte Knights 1Duncan Davitt held it down for four frames, surrendering very little. A pair of doubles, a wild pitch, and a walk — but nothing that broke. Nashville scratched and clawed, and Davitt kept wriggling free. Ben Peoples followed and tossed two scoreless, hitless innings, and then the seventh showed up. […]
Game Thread: White Sox (8-14) at Diamondbacks (13-9)
The White Sox snapped their series drought over the weekend, taking two of three from the Athletics for their first series win since early April against the Blue Jays. They now head out to the desert to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks for a three-game set. In some good news, the South Siders are shockingly […]
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]
