The Sox through 40 games:

	Longest L Streak	# of L4+
2024	7	4
2025	8	3
2026	3	0

Avoiding letting losses snowball into long streaks continues to be key for the team's improved look and feel.

Hat tip to Kay for stepping up with the stopper outing today.

Castillo's fall off this season is sort of crazy to see, glad the boys took advantage.

Sox 7th in MLB in HR.

I just read that Miguel Vargas is sometimes referred to as "The Cuban Viking"....1st time I've heard that one. Is that a Schiffren special?

With the weather warming up, are we gonna see a new generation of South Side Hit Men?

uh oh, didn't being a Packers fan expedite Burger being shown the door??

Colson 21 game on base streak.

That looks like a game score of 60 for Kay. Nice outing. If he could give us that, he works.

What do you know about Schweitzer? Doesn’t look half bad.

I did not realize Hudson had a long scoreless streak going?

No danger yet of trading Vargas despite his unfortunate choice of the football team he follows.

Nice game. Needed that one.

If his changeup is on , he's not bad.

One of the things Getz has had success with is picking the right pitchers from overseas...that guy playing 1B is ok too.

Vargas' second HR the hardest hit of his career at 112.9 EV

Sam is looking better and better in the leadoff position.

We needed a good outing by Kay and he came through, nice solid win for our guys, win the series today with no goofy Sunday lineups.

FanGraphs had this to say:
Chicago White Sox Top 40 Prospects | FanGraphs Baseball

22. Tyler Schweitzer, MIRP

Drafted: 5th Round, 2022 from Ball State (CHW)

Age	25.4	Height	6′ 0″	Weight	185	Bat / Thr	L / L	FV	40

Tool Grades (Present/Future)

Fastball	Slider	Curveball	Changeup	Command	Sits/Tops
45/55	45/45	45/50	40/40	45/50	92-94 / 96

The former MAC Pitcher of the Year started his 40-man platform season humming in 95-mph fastballs with cut-ride at Double-A Birmingham. He carved with a five-pitch mix, with a shorter slider being Schweitzer’s most reliably located secondary. Even if being Grant Taylor’s piggyback partner did his stuff few favors, it was still kinder than how the left-hander’s heater played when he got bumped up to the launching pad that is Triple-A Charlotte, this at the same time that his velo regressed to the 92-93 mph band. You don’t see splits this stark everyday. To wit, at Double-A: 49.2 IP, 32 H, 0 HR, 1.27 ERA. At Triple-A: 50 IP, 61 H, 13 HR, 7.92 ERA. Yikes.

Schweitzer leverages his plus arm speed to reliably be on time at foot strike and offers starter command of fringy stuff. He ended the year as a multi-inning reliever in Birmingham, dominating again, and that’s where his skill set projects if he can ever weather the horrors of Charlotte.

If the Sox can hit on some of their own home grown pitching for bullpen help it would be a welcome addition. Come on Schwitzer, keep the line moving!!

The competition for playing between the position players is awesome.

I am positively POSITIVE about the Sox, LET"S GO !!!!!

Meidroth has a 9 game hit streak , tops on the team this year.

"The Cuban Viking"

Where's the outrage now, Soxtalk?
