I'm just so damn proud of these guys after that 4 game sweep....I could cry. Now on to our regularly scheduled crying with the Tiggers coming up next.

Cubs passed on him for Jordan Wicks btw

Fletcher's 2nd double. Trade won.

Since the All Star Break the Sox are 21-23. I know it's roughly only a quarter of a season, but this is beyond encouraging since the break. Kyle Teel (23) is on pace for a 6.0 fWAR season over 132 games, and 7.4 fWAR over 162. Colson Montgomery (23) is on pace for a 5.7 fWAR season over 151 games, and 6.1 fWAR over 162. Luis Robert Jr. (27) is on pace for a 3.8 fWAR season over 117 games, and 5.2 fWAR over 162. Miguel Vargas (25) is on pace for a 3.0 fWAR season over 106 games, and 4.6 fWAR over 162. Chase Meidroth (23) is on pace for a 3.0 fWAR season over 113 games, and 4.3 fWAR over 162. Lenyn Sosa (25) is on pace for a 2.6 fWAR season over 158 games, and 2.7 fWAR over 162. Edgar Quero (22) is on pace for a 2.3 fWAR season over 121 games, and 3.0 fWAR over 162.

The Twins are hot garbage. The Sox SHOULD be beating them.

it is a bit unfair how cool every left hander looks hitting a home run.

Quietly Venable is becoming a very good Manager. His players respect and like him and most importantly they play really hard for him. I don't want to get too excited but I have to admit I feel more positive about this team and their future than I have in a long while. Now it's really important they finish this season strong. Go in to the off season feeling really good about the direction this franchise is finally headed.

Tigers fans who demanded that sweep are about to be big mad.

It's not too late to join us:

Sox are 21-23 since the all-star break, Tigers are 22-22.

Checks out. He's been a trooper playing through some stuff throughout the season.

I'm with you, Pal

Tigers are going down. Let's crack open another.....

I'm gonna go ahead and just say that Steven Wilson was not a key piece of the Cease deal.

At least it's not all bad news for the Twins. Turns out they might have a new owner soon after all:

Five in a row, we are in uncharted territory here. Lineups not available yet GO GO WHITE SOX

I'm not expecting too much next year because I dont expect JR let Getz sign anyone beyond a 1 year contract in 2026 because there will probably be a labor impasse leading to a strike and players with multiyear contracts will get paid during a strike. JR wont want to do that at this point in his life .If no revenue is coming in he won't want to be paying players for not playing.

This kid is winning...and winning is fung.

1) This team reminds me of the 1989 team. After the All Star break in 1989 the team with its young players started playing better baseball the second half. The present TV announcers keep saying that this is a different team than earlier in the season. They're right. Looks to me that brighter days are coming. 2026 could be a real good season. 2) These people who design the City Connect jerseys baffle me. The present White Sox City Connect jersey looks like a Chicago Bulls jersey. The present Cubs City Connect jersey looks like the old Monreal Expos jersey. And the Tigers City Connect (worn tonight) is just out and out ugly. I wonder if anybody is buying these City Connect jerseys. 4) I haven't heard anything so I'm assuming there is not going to be a Soxfest this year.

so...are we winning the division next year? battled through some frustrating moments, convincing win against a good team.

And that’s the first time they have ever won 6 in a row where all 6 were comeback wins.

I have a 6 game thread streak, and the first thread was started 3 innings into the game because nobody made a thread ha

Winning is way better than losing

That sense of believing sure is a welcome feeling.

Colson fucking montgomery

gonna go watch taylor swift's boyfriend catch balls i love you all goodnight and go white sox

Incredibly poorly called game

Home plate ump is brutal.

last year 5-39 out of the break in same strech

I mean you are gaslighting Sox fans for being pessimistic after 45 years of Jerry Reinsdorf. It's 100% about the owner, especially when he inserts himself into day to day decisions which affects the team on the field.

Yes, Sox fans don't have a 45 year long history to think of, and sure not the present. But the future.... I am sure everything will be perfect.

The Fletcher era begins AGAIN! FOR REAL THIS TIME!

Nice to see Fletch get a look. Tauchman continues to rest up. Maybe he's back vs. Skubal and Beni sits? Although Beni has reverse splits this season.

In general, I get the sentiment, I really do. But with the Sox last five years, it is really easy to see otherwise. #1, COVID blew up revenue streams in both 2020 and 2021. Not only was the ballpark somewhere between closed and limited for most of those two seasons, they also missed the buzz of the fan base getting to live in person through the first back to back playoff appearances in the history of the franchise. #2, As Sox payroll began to climb in 2021 and onwards, the teams finances did NOT follow. The teams 2021 attendance was actually at the time the lowest attendance in the 21st century by the Sox. While the 2022 attendance did pick back up, in 2022, the excitement behind the team was already starting to fade in 2021, as the team that did finish in 1st and 24 games over .500, essentially played a .500 second half, then followed it up with a full season of .500 in 2022, and saw attendance drop by 300k fans from 22 to 23. #3 Sox payroll spiked during this time period, even as the fans were ebbing, peaking at $193 million in 2022, and only dropping slightly (about 7%) in 2023 to $181 million, with attendance falling by 15% from 22 to 23. #4 obviously the attendance crash continued into 2024, with Sox turnstyles down about 35% from its peak in 2022. I would be willing to bet that for as much as attendance fell, so did outside advertising dollars and parking revenues. #5, The Sox played a large chunk of 2025 without essentially any TV money. Sure they might have made a few bucks from streaming themselves, and the advertising dollars they kept directly, instead of dollar flowing through a TV deal, but it was a tiny sliver of what they were used to coming in. #6, Forbes has shown the team with loses since 2020. #7, The Ishbia deal expressly said that he was paying down debt accumulated by the team. Since this team isn't making a mortgage payment on a stadium, literally it has to be operations debt, which agrees with all of the rest of the above points. I am about 90% certain, Jerry doesn't make this deal if he isn't personally losing money, because there is no other reason for him to want to sell the team before his death when the tax conditions are the most ideal.

I find it interesting that some articles touting possible White Sox free agent signings in the off season are all about offense. Since the all star break, the young lineup has been putting up some runs. If they do spend in the off season (which I am doubtful that they will) shouldn't the focus be on pitching help?

Colson isn't the kind of player I would ever say "he is who he is" too. Development, adapting and evolving his game to the league is a skill and it's one I think he has. He's really been closer to a 250 hitter this year without the bad batted ball luck. The kid hits tanks left and right. I don't need to see anything again to be a believer. I'm a believer 10000%, and if anything I think we're just seeing the surface being scratched with him. He's probably still a couple thousands AB's behind his southern and west coast peers.

I kinda think 220/280/520 is just who he is. Pair that with solid work at SS defensively and while not quite a super star, certainly in today's game a star and valuable player. If he can improve to something like 250/320/550 he's a super star. The metrics think he's been a bit unlucky on BABIP, we'll see how it trends over his career.

They are so bad now after the deadline. It felt right beating their asses lol

If Sosa continues to hit this way, he is gonna be a DH. His defense is so bad at multiple positions.

$10m + Robert's $20m would imply $30m spending. Who would we spend it on? Overpay Schwarber, Pete Alonso, Cody Bellinger maybe. Kyle Tucker, Framber Valdez, Ranger Suarez seem like the only desirable big ticket free agents available. Not sure the 30+ pitchers are helpful in 2026. Tucker would be a big get but why would he sign here? Would we just distribute the money between a bunch of guys like Cedric Mullins, Ryan O'Hearn, Josh Naylor, Nestor Cortes? Seems like a losing strategy. Cheap and risky + the system is the actual strategy. Spending just to spend is how you end up with Benintendi. I'm curious, which free agents would you guys pursue? There are some actual good free agents in 2027 and 2028 that might be fill holes on the team, get back to me a in a year. Also, who is "White Sox Dave"? The barstool bozo right?

Why is that sad? I take great pleasure in watching that org suffer lol

The thing I like about Murphy is he'll be ready to pitch 150 innings next year. He really dominated at Birmingham but Birmingham for pitchers is like Charlotte for hitters. As a pitcher if your numbers are even just decent at Charlotte you're ready for MLB. Not bad for a 14th round pick from pretty close to the Glendale, Az. Facility.

Say what you want: The Sox are rising.

Flexing your funny bone lately. I like it !

Royce Lewis too but better pitching eventually will help .

I still hate the Twins for what they did to us in the 2000s.

Benintendi running like he's got broken feet

Which 6 should go? Which 2 stay?
