1. The White Sox snapped their five-game losing streak and salvaged a win to end an otherwise disastrous season-opening home stand thanks, almost entirely, to Matt Davidson. Be a hero. pic.twitter.com/9RBPO1XnwE — Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) April 11, 2018 The home run and win will overshadow what was another sloppy and often times perplexing performance […]

Sartorially Scouting the Sox
One of the reasons the White Sox played two afternoon weekdays in a row to begin this week was they had a charity gala at the United Center Tuesday evening. I’d initially put this out of my mind until pictures of the Sox players dressed for a formal event began to fill up the White Sox Twitter […]
Does Matt Davidson’s promising start mean anything?
Think back, if you can, to Opening Day, when Matt Davidson hit three home runs and set off all of the Statcast Twitter accounts because of just how hard he hit them. Understandably, though, one game isn’t enough to revise your opinion on someone. Mallex Smith had four hits on Monday and this article is […]
Tim Anderson is Starting to Look Like the Player We’ve Hoped He’d Become
Despite a very entertaining Opening Day, the 2018 White Sox season hasn’t exactly gotten off to the greatest start. Losing four in a row to two teams that are fairly safe bets to finish last in their respective divisions can put quite the damper on any proceedings. No, this year isn’t supposed to officially mark […]
South Side Morning 5: Tigers Sweep? I’m Not Mad, You’re Mad
Friday was frustrating, but as Collin wrote, good stuff happened and veteran relievers blowing a game is not cause for panic or canceling the rebuild. I have not revised my opinion of Nate Jones or Joakim Soria as a result. In a rebuilding season, losing three games against the Tigers shouldn’t matter in and of […]
South Side Morning 5: These Things Are Bound To Happen
1. Opening Day in Chicago seemed hunky dory when the White Sox turned a 7-3 lead over to the expectantly reliable duo of Nate Jones and Joakim Soria. Then some time passed, too many Tigers crossed home plate, and next thing you knew the White Sox were 9-7 losers in 10 innings. As much as […]
South Side Morning 5: A normal baseball game where nothing weird happened
Wednesday’s 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays will be remembered — if it’s remembered for anything — for the unusual play in the top of the 5th inning that will ultimately go down as nothing more than an RBI single by Yoan Moncada. But five impressive innings from Carson Fulmer, two more home runs, and […]
Welington Castillo could provide White Sox something they’ve long lacked
The White Sox offense in Monday’s 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays amounted to two solo home runs by Welington Castillo. It was a shame, because Reynaldo Lopez’s impressive season debut — he allowed just one run on two hits while striking out six in six innings of work — was more than good enough to […]
South Side Morning 5: The Continued Development of Lucas Giolito
1. A fun thing about spring training is seeing players who are very important to a team’s future play up to their potential, and dreaming of them translating that to regular season success. The stats, as we know, are meaningless, but Lucas Giolito regularly showcased the velocity with his fastball and precision with his breaking […]
Carlos Rodon’s health taking White Sox down a familiar path
The Chicago White Sox have had success when it comes to keeping their starting pitchers healthy; unfortunately, the position they’re in with one of their young stars is one they have experienced before. This isn’t the first time the Sox have had a young left-hander with good stuff, who’s taking over for an ace … with a […]
