White Sox The best answer would be: Why not? Most people thought reaching .500 would be a great 2026 accomplishment for this young team coming off three straight seasons of 100-plus losses. But there they were on Sept. 24, celebrating a playoff-clinching victory in Kansas City. This team is fearless, as general manager Chris Getz has said many times. This team plays all 27 outs with high intensity, and this team has believed they were good long before anyone else felt the same. Getting more than a few home runs from Miguel Vargas, Munetaka Murakami and Colson Montgomery, who all topped 30 in the regular season, won’t hurt the cause, nor will the starting rotation giving the top-notch bullpen room to maneuver. People not believing in the White Sox, though, is nothing unusual and won't slow down the South Siders. -- Scott Merkin mlb.com

Schultz's role now

Same thing with KC...always show downtown, Country Club Plaza, fountains, BBQ places etc.

Congrats on All MILB second team!!! Andrew Fischer of the Brewers was the first team 3B with more than 50 homers. Also, saw Angel Genao of the Guardians on the second team list. 3B: Caleb Bonemer, White Sox (No. 2/MLB No. 27) A+/AA: .251/.380/.550, 132 G, 37 HR, 92 RBI, 100 R, 84 BB, 161 K, 17 SB, 139 wRC+ After earning Single-A Carolina League MVP honors last season, the 2024 second-rounder more than tripled his homer output in 2026 to 37. That was tied for fifth in the Minors, and everyone with more roundtrippers was older than Bonemer, who turns 21 in October.

They also might have to move on from Kolson if he continues to struggle at the plate...

Going with veteran "been there, done that" playoff experience...he and Benintendi, Rogers as well.

Richards will at least get a full playoff share...which is huge for those AAAA players.

And that's the 5/6 offense in baseball. Focus on Hagen, Schultz, Sandlin, McDougal, and adding pitching help in any way shape or form possible has to be the top priority. Not sure what can be done with Castillo. Bullpens are always going to be easier/cheaper to fix...and league-wide that area for the Sox is surprisingly in the top half. But the absence of an elite lockdown closer is the single biggest weakness there. Finally, think Mune might be coming out of this and can build on a well over 800+ ops and at lesst not under .200 finish. Hopefully some key momentum-changing hits in the postseason, too.

No Castillo or Quero...a year ago that was a pretty valuable trade package.

well 2021 had one game of excitement and then completely dead same with 2020/Covid goodbye Keuchel/Crochet there was a Luis Robert mammoth bomb at least preceded by a 12 year abyss/nothingness...

At least another half, plus

https://www.mlb.com/news/red-sox-broadcaster-will-flemming-apologizes-for-yankees-comments Schriffen emotions lol

not for the last month or so...especially since Mune and Kolson started slamming and Venable's managing veered towards Renteria/TLR territory

luckily GEtz has less of an ego than KW Hahn and WestEddy you'te really going to melt down when Preller wins NL Executive of the Year! ps is FMK related to Machine Gun Kelly?

active Swift inactive Raymond ff driving me crazier than Sox friend has odunze vs. Barkley lol

Also, Benetti was more generous about picking up on the road dinner checks/tips despite lower salary lol

have you ever seen a SoxTalk gamethread lol? Fine the White Sox will clesrly score 8-9 runs and shut out the Astros in G2

you've been off your game recently this new board truce is throwing your normal bravado off lol and then everything circling back to sex allusions for unknown reasons

ground outs sheesh who's Branden? related to 46?

Fire Venable....err isn't that four times within 12 with zero points now? seems to be opposite of 2025 odunze and Loveland killing fantasy teams

After the second season in 2003, SlamBall creator Mason Gordon and co-producer Telepictures Productions had a disagreement. The league was dissolved. SlamBall - WikipediaHow much do SlamBall players get paid? How much does a Slam Ball make? As of Sep 24, 2026, the average annual pay for a Slam Ball in the United States is $31,453 a year. Just in case you need a simple salary calculator, that works out to be approximately $15.12 an hour. This is the equivalent of $604/week or $2,621/month.

The average division lead the last nine days of July was 1.83 games up... They were hardly dead in the water, more looking forward to 2027, unless you're talking about missing Murakami's bat.

Brown might get 10+ k's except for Braden go's

But but but they were in first place for most of July and the June schedule was arguably more daunting... that and fact nobody even knows the fate of the 2027 season

Newcomb and Hudson have both been even more vulnerable...house money, house money Astros still have reached 9/11 playoffs and just missed last year by one game at the end.
