Winning is fun. Thanks for taking Montero out at 65 pitches!

If the Cards beat the Cubs tonight, the a Sox will have the best record in Chicago!

Don't stop get it get it

I respectfully disagree with both of these comments. Playing the other central teams for so many games got really old, at least for me. I got so tired of seeing the royals and guardians so often. I think interleague is fantastic for the game, although I am one that also likes to follow the rest of the league as I believe it enhances my fan experience. The Phillies, while they are older, have a lot of interesting names to watch and follow. Interleague is bringing Ohtani and the rest of the Dodgers to town next weekend, which is fantastic. I for one am ecstatic to see how our Sox match up with the best teams in baseball, two of arguably the best happen to be in the NL (ATL and LAD). Should be a great test.

It's actually okay to love the team, appreciate the job Getz and Venable have done, AND think JR is a bad owner. This team, that still has a very low payroll, is playing very well because of the players and coaches. JR had to be convinced to take a no-brainer gamble on Murakami, and look what happened. He has even more money to roll around in while scheming ways to not spend it. Team - Awesome Venable and coaches - Doing a great job Getz - Getting better, learning on the job...still under-qualified JR - Still a shitty owner

SUCK IT TIGERS

Cubs lose, so the Sox finish May as the best baseball team in the city

BOS 9 CLE 4 FINAL. Sox 1GB now!

Ken should go back to staring down a camera man that tripped. Fucking clown.

Cleveland loses 9-1, Sox are 2GB

What is this

Was at the ballgame tonight. Ive always felt in the seasons where playoffs are in our sights, come August the crowd has a different feel. I kind of felt that tonight. The 9th and 10th was electric and it sort of felt like we expected the win. Love when everyone organically comes to their feet at the right moments. Its been a while and tonight was a joy.

Because taking another two pitch college starter would be fucking insanity.

Schultz is throwing bullpens and should be close to a minimum IL stint. Shane Smith is throwing again too.

Tigers fans are the least annoying of our division rivals. Cant stand cleveland or MN and KC has been obnoxious ever since they had 2 good seasons in their history

Aww... 🥰

Congrats to Tyler Davis. 1st career save!

Who would you rather see play there? The best option is him at first, and not disrupting Vargas and Colson all that much. The point is for him to come up, play 1st, and fucking mash.

GLP1 use is getting out of hand.

For my money, today’s MVP was Taylor.

Really seems this years team as a group is really cohesive and banding together. New players and current ones seems to be buying in. Players that are hurt want to stay with the team while trying to rehab. Also its the next man up mentality that keeps them going and trying to win. Everyone seems to know what they need to do and help contribute. There might not be many big stars on the team but its a different players helping to step up and win each night. They also seems to be having fun and enjoying playing with each other.Its definitely refreshing after the rebuild of the rebuild this time around.

If beating us in 2024 is the basis for revenge….

I am a Dan Plesac fan.

Oops. (Looks like the PCA thread is closed.)

I've heard a bunch of guys in different demographics. Hoping to have a 5 round mock this week. Lots of Thome chatter obviously. Heard they really like Coleman Borthwick but I think he'll be gone. Blake Bryant is a prep righty from Georgia. Curious to see where Jack Slightom or other local guys go. There are a couple college bats that I might put in my mock.

Good clean win, the guys continue to avoid long L streaks. Heckuva job by Fedde today. He understood the assignment and delivered 5 scoreless. Also congrats to Taylor for his 100th career strikeout in under 70 innings. Bradley's inability to pitch well against the White Sox fascinates me. Career 10.47 ERA and 2.33 (!!) WHIP in 4 games. Came into this stretch of 10 games up 1 on the Twins, and they leave it up 4.5 after going 7-3. Their run differential is now the best in the division (even though Cleveland never loses), and T-3 in the AL. Just gotta stay afloat until they get healthier.

Wasn’t exactly crucial but I think we needed that win today.

Tray approved

How do the Sox feel about him exactly? You honestly think they feel he isn’t a high end defensive SS because they play him at 3B some? If not, why do you think they keep doing this? Do they just like playing guys out of their optimized spots for fun? You must have some theory on the why behind this malpractice. Also, several cracks in your post. Colson definitely does NOT have the best range amongst SS’s per Statcast. Witt’s OAA is more than double Colson’s and is hands down the best. And while I do think Colson is a tremendous defensive SS, it’s funny that you ignore DRS where he’s currently at -1. Most importantly, Colson has also been elite at 3B, which is part of the reason his OAA is in the 100th percentile (that isn’t just SS). SSS, but when adjusted for playing time, his 3B defenses would amongst the very best by both OAA/FRV & DRS. If you compare Colson’s fWAR per PA, it’s nearly identical between SS & 3B right now (and that’s using Statcast defensive data). As such, from a total value consideration, when Vargas or Murakami needs a day off, the question becomes who is the best backup at SS or 3B since Colson can provide high value at both spots. And it’s very clear they don’t love their other 3B options from a defensive standpoint, which is why we’ve seen Colson shift to 3B in such scenarios. So Venable isn’t really an idiot, but trying to optimize the roster as currently constructed. When Murray was on the bench, Venable kept Colson at SS when Vargas or Murakami needed time off and would play Tanner at 3B. I will not defend the relentless bunting as I find it to be incredibly stupid, but I refuse to be upset about a manager rotating around a guy between two spots he’s extremely good at defensively to optimize the broader lineup.

Me and @joejoesox are done with this team. f*** them.

No rush to do anything imo. Just enjoy the ride.

Too many people on the Lackey train now. Time to move on to Flora. (Moving back the draft was so stupid.)

Sure we can. We're fans. We love our White Sox,but Hate JR. See; both ways.

The 2026 White Sox: "Suck My D*** You F***ing B*****"

Everything's roses now. But wait to see how the "Culture" holds when going through a streak losing 8/10 or 14/20. Because that will happen.

Burke legit good! Remember when @Look at Ray Ray Run said he “stinks”. It’s always good to have one hater to motivate the squad!

He’s got the stuff to be great. Actually might benefit us that he went through some MLB growing pains with CLE and then got returned to us.

32-27, who'da guessed? Sox finish the homestand 6-1. CLE loses again, Sox are 1 GB. 20-11 at home, 11-3 in the division! Side note: Tigers are a dismal 4-21 since Skubal went down. They have scored 5+ runs just twice in that 25 game stretch. Sox lead the AL in comeback wins with 16. After a .500 April, Sox finish May with an 18-10 record. Their most wins in a month since May 2021 (19-10). Pending the handful of remaining games, the offense finishes May ~top 5 in OPS/AVG, 1st in HR, top 3 in runs/SLG. June will be tough, especially without Mune. Gotta keep fighting and stay afloat.

Colson in his first 128 MLB games has 35 HR, 90 RBI and 4.9 fWAR at a wRC of 125. Elite defensive SS that hits bombs from the left side. OK. And he just turned 24.

Colson Montgomery hit career HR #35 today, in career game 128. Fastest to 35 in Sox history, beating Abreu by 5 games.

Quero heating up would be huge for this team to weather the storm.

No he didn’t…he predicted he would outplay Vargas. Never once does he suggest Mead would be a “plus” player or anything akin to that.
