Entering Sunday’s series finale against the Royals, the White Sox were on a 1-6 stretch since winning the series opener at Yankee Stadium on May 13, which is not good at all. Well, it’s two wins now if you include today. The Sox were able to salvage the last game of the three-game set largely […]

Which White Sox players are in the running for an All-Star appearance?
It’s May 17, the All-Star Game is slightly under two months away. It is far too early to seriously ask this question (featured in the headline, for reference). However, are we ever seriously asking this question? Besides, the ballots are out, the very worst votes are already being submitted and there’s no stopping them. Some loyal soul […]
White Sox 1, Yankees 2: Jose Quintana gets the tough-luck loss
Jose Quintana did not regress, nor did he pitch a bad game. His command was off for a bit of his seven inning outing, but he made it work. He allowed just two runs, both of them in the second inning. That would have been enough for a win on most days, but the White Sox […]
South Side Morning 5: A day off to heal grievous facial wounds
1. Todd Frazier looks like someone punched him in the face, right below his bottom lip. Considering the possibilities that were shuffled through after he superhero leaped into the stands in Arlington and stuck a face first landing on a hard plastic seat, before sprinting off the field with his glove cupping his face (to […]
Evaluating the White Sox Defense: [Insert “Glove” and “Love” Pun here]
The White Sox are 23-10. Last year on May 10 the White Sox beat Cincinnati by one run to move to 12-16. They are better this year. No doubt this is the hard-hitting statistical analysis you have come to expect from Baseball Prospectus. There are some very visible reasons for the improvement. The 2015 White […]
South Side Morning 5: Everything is still good for now
1. With the White Sox flying out to an unreal six-game lead in the AL Central on May 10, it seemed like it would be a fun exercise to find the last time an AL Central winner had to claw back from a six-game deficit. It turns out, it was not a fun exercise. The last club […]
White Sox 8, Rangers 4: Frazier slam caps night of rallies
Todd Frazier will likely play too large of a role in the White Sox franchise’s fortune over the next two years to have just one single game he’s remembered by. Yet still, for now at least, this is the Todd Frazier game. 1. Frazier’s 12th inning bomb with the bases juiced, his second homer of […]
White Sox 7, Twins 2: Chris Sale is still Chris Sale
The White Sox took a very favorable matchup and immediately put onlookers in a state of worry before finally shaking loose the cobwebs and properly pummeling the Twins to continue their unblemished record against them, moving to 5-0 on the year. 1. Chris Sale‘s first inning held something it hasn’t in others this season: a […]
South Side Morning 5: Looking for immediate fan returns from the White Sox hot start
1. Monday afternoon, the White Sox relayed a figure about their recent ticket sales in light of their hot streak that got picked up quickly. “#WhiteSox hot start apparently is catching on at the box office. Team has sold over 100,000 tickets in the last week.” -Dan Hayes That sure seems like a lot. They […]
BP South Side Morning 5: Living like a cat
1. A funny thing happened among some of the principal actors in the White Sox’ stirring five-run comeback Monday night, which featured five-straight Sox hitters reaching base with two outs in the seventh: Todd Frazier and Jimmy Rollins are having good offensive months now. Rollins, who has been focused on–including here–as an undeserving occupier of the […]
