MLB.TV is on sale for $70, half off.

Just an FYI.

 

Pretty sure you get access to all the MiLB games/audio with that package as well, which is infinitely more interesting for Sox fans.

With mine, i get most milb.tv

The White Sox offense's struggles, especially in recent years, are indeed a point of frustration for fans, and the phrase "here lies the White Sox offense" is often used humorously to express that sentiment. The team has frequently been at the bottom of the league in runs scored, indicating a significant lack of offensive production.

That is technically better, sad but better.

It will get worse with Robert gone.  No one to play a decent CF or stolen bases. 

But hey they have Vaughn

Very surprised the Sox stunk tonight. Thought we'd win. No bats at all. Now I'm a bit worried about the Royals pitchers stifling us all four games considering KC has five shutouts in last 10 games I heard on radio.

*The White Sox went 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position. Luis Robert Jr. took a Ragans changeup at the knees to strand a Meidroth leadoff single in the first, and Andrew Vaughn's one-out double in the fifth--the team's only extra-base hit--went by the boards

*A day after recording his fifth multi-hit game of his young career, Quero had his first multi-strikeout performance, striking out his first three times up in an 0-for-4 performance. The one time he made contact was a soft flare lofted just high enough to first that Miguel Vargas was deluded into thinking it would get over Vinnie Pasquantino's head, and was doubled off.

*García led off the Royals' sixth with a walk, advanced to second on a passed ball, stole third and...ran into a TOOTBLAN when he gravely misjudged how far Matt Thaiss' throw caromed away from Vargas. See? Other teams do it too. García got his revenge by stealing second and scoring in the eighth, one of four Royals stolen bases on the night.

*The Sox haven't won in Kauffman Stadium since Sept. 12, 2023. Dylan Cease was the winning pitcher.

Well, Ragans immediately put all doubts out of mind. Yes, the White Sox are not a good big league team. But they are a big league team and have legitimate professional athletes. They managed to foul off a bunch of pitches—like, a bunch bunch of pitches—but that’s all they were able to do.

Put it this way: Ragans faced 20 batters. He struck 11 of them out, which is good for for a 55% strikeout rate. Dominant.

There wasn’t even a lot of trouble that Ragans ran into. He faced runners in scoring position twice. The first time was the very first frame of the game, where White Sox shortstop and Final Fantasy villain Chase Meidroth singled and stole second base. In the fourth inning, Andrew Vaughn doubled and then advanced to third on a groundout. In both cases, Ragans closed the threat by striking out the next batter.

What did she do now?

She's gonna be royals......

I'll still be surprised if Sox don't at least split this series, at least. There's no way the Royals can get emotionally up playing this Sox team and it will show since we have 3-6 decent players this year compared to last year when we had none cept for Robert when he was healthy. It's almost impossible to respect the opponent when the opponent is the 2025 Sox. They won't respect the 3-6 players I mentioned, hence victory is attainable IMO. The question is ... will any of you bet the house on the Chisox?

Not convinced.

KC swept season series last year...at least all the the home games.

I'll bet your house but I sure as well wouldn't bet mine...not with this dysfunctional organization/team.
