The White Sox haven’t exactly faced a bruising schedule. They sit 4-10, with nine of those games coming against Kansas City, Detroit, and Tampa Bay, teams with strong cases for Worst In The AL. The other four games have been against Toronto and Minnesota. Solid teams, but they aren’t exactly the Astros or Cleveland either. […]

Athletics 8, White Sox 1: The good, the bad, and the ugly
There are some games that can easily be delineated using a common and some might say lazy format that’s been lent from a 52-year-old movie. Monday’s 8-1 loss to the Athletics is one of those games. The good Reynaldo Lopez flashed the type of swing-and-miss stuff that makes it easy to understand why the evaluators […]
South Side Morning 5: A win is a win is a win
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: 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 […]
The Catbird Speaks 4.4.18 – Real White Sox Baseball, For Better or Worse
With four games in the books, Nick Schaefer is joined by Mark Primiano and Frank Firke to chat about the White Sox, early-season happenings, animals, and the Unwritten Rules. Tune in for: Tim Anderson and Matt Davidson talk; The encouraging start of Reynaldo Lopez; Royals & Tigers schadenfreude; The Twins being ridiculous; and Animal chat. […]
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 […]
