Kelenic thought he was done getting robbed after last night, but alas

Vargas has a career 1.043 OPS vs. the Cubs in 17 games

Vargas is so hecking good

No Swanson, Mo, or Carson Kelly for the Cubs

Less than ideal outcome, lights maybe a little too bright late in this one. Will happily trade streaks of good play for 1 stinky loss though, even if it's extra stinky because it's the Cubs. Hopefully the guys that matter learn from it and bounce back. Might need a fresh arm called up for tomorrow though.

Mets catching absolutely 0 breaks this season

What's good is that I fully expect them to keep fighting for the rest of the series

Hicks had 10 straight scoreless coming into today, but running such a high WHIP will bite you eventually.

Just too many outs for the pen to cover today. Going to need Martin to give them some length tomorrow.

Cubs have gotten a couple cheapies

Scoreless in 2 Charlotte outings so far. I think he's back relatively soon.

Truman Pauley (LRJ trade) with his best pro start so far

....What on earth was PCA doing?

He also did Baseball Isn't Boring and White Sox Talk this month.

Best shortstop in Chicago

Vasil has a future in media whenever he's finished playing

White Sox vs. LHP: .774 OPS (4th in MLB) .438 SLG (2nd) .335 OBP (5th) 21 HR (2nd)

Phillies are 13-5 in their last 18 but still 9 games back

The Royals had 168 wins total 2024-25, and 22 of them were against the Sox. That's over 13%. It's quite possibly the difference between their "up and coming" reputation and a world where they are coming off 9 consecutive losing seasons since 2017 instead.

Another great start from Max Banks

Your Chicago White Sox have a winning record in May! 22-21 is T-4th best record in the AL. Kay turned in a great start with much needed length. The much-criticized lineup did their part led by Grichuk, with some manufactured insurance late. Their W5 is the longest active in MLB. They are 12-9 at home. Their 8-4 record in May is T-5 in MLB and the best in the division. The Sox have 5 wins vs. KC with two series to play, more than all of 2024 and 2025 combined. Through 7 games in the season series, both teams have only scored 0, 2, 5, or 6 runs. DET lost, MIN won, CLE was off. 1 GB of 1st, sitting in WC2 with a game over SEA.
