Your first place Chicago White Sox are 52-46! They win the first series out of the break and take the season series 5-1. Colson Montgomery and Sam Antonacci finish the series with more HRs in Toronto than Vlad Jr on the season... They have outscored opponents 39-7 in their last 6 games, throwing two shutouts and allowing more than 1 run only once in that stretch (in Friday's win). They are 6-4 in their last 10 road games, which would be a good trend to see continue in the second half. Win #52 came in September last year (and of course didn't come at all in 2024). They did go 10-5 coming out of the 2025 ASB though, which would be a nice thing to repeat (or surpass!) Sean Burke has been incredible lately: If he continues this form, Martin is past the worst of his struggles, and Hicks has become a solid BP weapon, their pitching needs get much more manageable.

This is the 5th time in about 5 weeks that the White Sox are 6 games over .500. It's time to break that glass ceiling and hit 7.

Good start to 2nd half. Some things to clean up but pitching staff dominated this series. 15-5 outscored them.

I don’t think this guy has ever gotten anything right in the years he has cosplayed as an insider. It’s quite impressive that he hasn’t gotten a single thing right just out of sheer luck.

No , just another talking point about trades. Can you get a defensive late inning sub, RHH for next to nothing like Korey Lee ? Then sure. Korey Lee would actually be fine except the Sox hate him.

and only 2 back of NYY with them coming to Chicago for 4 games next week.

Colson needs 10 more homers this season to set most by a left-handed SS in a season.

They didn't "give up" on him, they wanted more resources for the draft for the future and he has no where to play currently.

Glad to see Braden continue to get clutch hits. He isn't fully there yet consistently but im glad his hits are coming in key spots.

6th inning runs sponsored by the law firm of Montgomery & Montgomery

This means nothing. What about eating some shredded lettuce from Taylor Farms?

Wouldn't it be cool if that happened for like 3 straight weeks?

Sox gained a game on every ALC team today.

Carlson finishes 2-3 with a double, triple, and 2 walks. His one out was a sac fly. Good day for him. Kanny offense is very fun when it's clicking and they should see a couple reinforcements next month too.

Trading a player for other assets is not "giving up" on them. No one asks why the Sox "gave up on" Crochet

I just don't know if I have a typical Hagen start in me after watching Shane Smith yesterday.

two biggest plays of game were Colson's HR and then Grickuk takes that possible triple away. he misses that it might be a LL HR. Kudos to Braden too for his key hits and solid defending. Obviously Burke dominated. Not sure how he throws so many strikes, but it's working.

Hell yeah! I know we wanted the win yesterday, but if we can keep winning series, we'll be in good shape RIP Jennifer Finch

Burke is an absolute joy to watch pitch. The development this season has been incredible. Just keep winning series baby.

In my best NBA Jam voice: He’s heating up!

You cannot waste both challenges in 2 pitches in the 7th inning.

Get with the program. It’s 2026. Nowadays, the organization has nothing to do with success of players. However, a long time ago, when Getz was in charge of player development, it was 100% the fault of the Farm Director if guys didn’t improve. At least this is what I’m told by the people who also told me the team wouldn’t be able to play at a .500 pace until 2030 at the earliest.

Just logically, what I’m saying is Mead got an offseason plan from the Sox that he then executed. He then spent most of the spring in the WBC or Sox Spring Training. Is your theory that the Nats changed his swing one game into the regular season?

Ummm...no thanks.

Anytime I see a 11-20 pick not get the full 150k it gives me the icks. Give the goddamn kids the full $150k.

It wasn’t really on Eisert. Pirates defense and closer that was brought in for a 5 out save s%*# the bed.

If you have even a slight interest in the draft, 100% listen in. Ian, @Y2Jimmy0 , and Jim Callis together are awesome.

Starting the next winning streak.

I'm looking forward to Perez being replaced.

He's only given up 6 runs in his last 6 starts

Yeah I've noticed that, we are out of challenges in the later innings while the opposition has their challenges, no bueno

get romo off this team.

Why are you wasting our last challenge when we are up 3 in the last 3 innings of the game? Moron

Burke has been Cease level dominant on this run. Ridiculous.

Braden smoked that. 108mph.

Can’t blame Braden for getting caught. Thought for sure that ball was hit hard enough for a play at home.

We have our RF, peeps

Great AB by Braden, love this kid

And Dollar Tree parking lots

Mune and Colson have to start making more contact.

This is not the starting pitcher you are looking for.

Can we stop with the Drew Romo bullshit....looking for a reverse curse so he'll hit a double and catch a great game.

Meidroth says up yours.

Liking Sam at 2nd.

Good points by Beefloaf 1 - He was able to maneuver around the man the front office wanted to play CF (Luisangel Acuna) into the man he knew he wanted to play CF Tristan Peters, without much issue. I was calling Peters his teacher's pet, but Will knew best. 2 - Andrew Benintendi a veteran had to take a reduced role, no longer an everyday player, no longer a position player basically at this point, just a DH by handedness and I haven't heard a single gripe about this during the season. 3. Anthony Kay - opener situation didn't quite work, so he adjusted back towards the player's wants of starting the games and Kay has been a nice solid addition. 4. Munetaka Murakami and what has been an unprecedented media circus around the Chicago White Sox 5. Bryan Hudson - He took a guy who was waiver bait and quickly saw he was shoving and elevated him to a top leverage guy 6. Sam Antonacci totally getting rushed to the majors but Venable easing him into the lineup, easing his transition into LF from 2b, not benching him for some goofy ass moves on the base paths....letting him learn on the job 7. Mike Vasil being assigned the role of ELITE VIBES GUY in the dugout 8. Managing up and down (management and player) to get Seranthony Dominguez out of the closer role. That was the guy the FO brought in to do the role so he had to left him fail just enough in the role to ultimately get his way of using players opportunistically in the role
