Three Reasons the White Sox are Winning
The White Sox are off to a great start for the month of April. Before Sunday’s loss to Detroit, they won six games in a row, are now 13-10, and are just 1/2 game behind Cleveland in the AL Central. Of course, no fan of the White Sox can forget what they did a year ago in […]
South Side Morning 5: Much Ado About Matt Davidson
1. Matt Davidson went 3-for-4 with his fourth home run of the season and four RBIs in the White Sox 12-1 thrashing of the Royals on Monday. He came a triple short of the cycle, and raised his batting line to .368/.375/.789 through 12 games and 40 plate appearances. The game was also Davidson’s first […]
Q&A With Matt Davidson
Coming into Tuesday night’s game in New York, Matt Davidson was hitting a mystifying, albeit successful, .355/.364/.742 to go along with a 16:1 K/BB ratio. In 33 PAs, that means he had put the ball in play only 15 times, but had registered 11 hits including five for extra bases when he did. Davidson is clearly aware […]
South Side Morning 5: Avisail Garcia Keeps Going
The White Sox offense exploded Thursday night to a 10-4 win over the Indians. That win allowed them to seal the series victory over a Cleveland team that looks like it should win the AL Central with ease. It also pushed the White Sox to a .500 record of 4-4 in this early juncture of the […]
South Side Morning 5: Dutch Courage
With a 2-1 victory in Cleveland last night, the White Sox continue their respectable start, moving to 3-4. Even with Chris Sale gone and Carlos Rodon on the DL, to date pitching is the strength of the team. Theoretically a staff ERA of 2.54 would get you more than three wins in seven games, but […]
A closer look at Matt Davidson’s first week
The first week of the baseball season is in the books. In one sense it’s the most exciting time of the year. We haven’t watched enough Jose Quintana starts in which he goes 7 innings, giving up two runs and receiving a loss, seen Avisail Garcia strike out enough times, or watched enough bullpen implosions […]
South Side Morning 5: James Shields Wins a Baseball Game
1. The White Sox 11-2 win over the Tigers on Thursday was just one start, but a positive sign for James Shields in his first outing after a disastrous 2016. Shields’ final line — 5.1 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 5 BB, 5 K — is a pretty reasonable microcosm of what can be expected out […]
South Side Morning 5: Rain Check
1. The White Sox were rained out for the second time already this season on Wednesday, pushing back the much anticipated debut of James Shields and leaving everyone wondering if baseball will ever be played on the south side of Chicago again. The extra day of rest the Sox lost from Monday’s rainout has been […]
South Side Morning 5: A select sample of people have spoken
1. They’re still doing that ESPN ultimate franchise rankings thing, and allegedly only for 14 years now, even though I remember reading their first version in a physical magazine that I purchased from a news stand, so I’m pretty sure it was in 1977. It’s basically one big customer satisfaction survey, so it should not […]
