Venable needs to know his personnel better. don't just assume he gets the bunt down against a very tricky lhp...not after failing like that, all the pressure is on Nishida who will take this loss harder than anyone in that dugout Antonacci needs to be at least a better base runner than Madrigal as well

no man's land impossible to guess in retrospect let Nishida make contact to the right side and steal Antonacci forced to pitch to Mune or face RMB Vargas

would have walked Murakami

well that just sucks Schriff only needed SAC fly

Oregon lol?

are we sure he's Japanese? never miss bunts

wow Nishida going to be a folk hero rivaling Yermin Mercedes at this rate

undisciplined Arcia just can't accept the 3-0 count

Getz has been fortunate that Hudson and Davis sort of saved pen from out of nowhere three weeks ago

will be Taylor Rogers submarine show bottom of tenth or they leave Morris in for Nishida then pull him for lefty

👍

Can they still play games under protest or is that not a real thing anymore?

You have to get tossed This is wnba level crap…heck players are making threats through social media even worse than 8647 because they can’t control jack s%*#

Somehow that’s not a slide and roll into the knees?

How is a good story for the Twins to win when all of Japan not cheering for Dodgers Cubs is for the White Sox, lol? Margaret Atwood could have made that call.

f%+$ off Torre MLB NYC

No way that was conclusive enough to overrule.

Hopefully replacing Benintendi...but probably no such luck

Cubs losing again early, 5-1 to Pitt

Nationals up 4-0 on Guardians early after massacre yesterday

SIThe White Sox May Have What It Takes to Rise From the Cel...Following three straight seasons with 100-plus losses, the South Siders are building something sustainable as they claw back toward competency.

Chicago White Sox White Sox first baseman Munetaka Murakami has been one of the best sluggers this season. | Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Biggest reason why they’re a contender: Much-improved offense The White Sox are right there with the Pirates when it comes to improved offense, as the club collectively is barreling the ball at a better rate, hitting the ball harder and pulling the ball in the air more, resulting in a slugging percentage that is almost 70 percentage points higher than last season’s. The White Sox lineup boasts Japanese rookie Munetaka Murakami, among the MLB leaders in home runs, and two other players who have reached double figures in homers in Colson Montgomery and Miguel Vargas. So good has the offense been that it’s helped offset one of the club’s biggest weaknesses. Biggest reason why they’re not a contender: Unreliable ninth inning situation Where would the White Sox be if they had a dependable closer? Case in point, the White Sox have blown 10 saves this season, tied for the fifth-most in baseball. Final verdict: Pretender The White Sox are far from a perfect team. The bullpen has holes and the starting rotation, aside from staff ace Davis Martin, isn’t particularly deep. But when you can slug the ball the way the White Sox have been, and enjoy the benefit of playing in one of baseball’s worst divisions in a weak AL, you have a real shot at the postseason. It's almost impossible to write them off given the state of the AL. That said, I believe the White Sox will have a difficult time catching the Guardians in the AL Central, and they may have more competition from the likes of the Blue Jays, Twins, Rangers, Mariners and A’s for a wild card spot. www.si.com

They're going to have to look at Minnesota's starting lineup and decide...Buxton is the key out obviously. Sandlin expected to go 2-3 innings and perhaps longer if he can limit his pitch count per inning. https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/batvspitch/_/id/4867679/sean-burke Buxton has already homered off Burke and Bell 2/2. Very limited exposure overall. Probably go with Sandlin to start and bring in Burke if he gets in trouble. That said, starting a game puts more pressure on Sandlin, but won't be a big crowd like Monday afternoon. Think Venable would prefer to bring Sandlin in like Taylor almost as a high leverage reliever in the middle innings.

While the Anime inserts are not new to this year’s release, they have been gaining attention. A Munetaka Murakami Anime Black parallel recently sold for $7,500. It’s a nice change for collectors, who don’t always need to chase ink to find value. Murakami MoneymakerMurakami is having an amazing first season in MLB. He currently leads the American League with 17 home runs. Munetaka Murakami 1B - CWS - #5 2026 season 187 AB .235 AVG 18 HR 0 SB .914 OPS The White Sox first baseman isn’t just making Chicago fans happy, but also collectors who have been pulling his MLB cards. On May 20, a redemption for a 2026 Bowman Chrome Rookie Autograph Orange Refractor sold for $14,000. It’s his first card to sell for five figures, but it may not be the last. Low-numbered parallels, chase cards, and Japanese cards have been thriving on the secondary market. To show the change in value, take a look at an ungraded 2021 BBM Tokyo Yakult Swallows Authentic Autograph that sold for $1,400 in November. In April, a Gem Mint version of the card sold for $6,000. If Murakami continues to smash home runs, his card values will likely rise along with them.
