11 hours ago11 hr The 1st place White Sox are coming off a huge stomping of the Dodgers yesterday and now have won three games in a row. As should be clear by now, this team feeds off the energy of our fans with the third best home record in the sport. And based on today’s pitching probables, they’re going to need the sellout crowd behind them.For the Dodgers today is a very tough Yamamoto. He currently has a 2.68 ERA on the season, but with a bit worse FIP & xERA of 3.43 & 3.42 respectively. He has a diverse arsenal of six pitches that make him matchup proof and tough against both righties and lefties. While the K rate isn’t eye-popping at 8.5 per 9, he’s got great control and is able to command his breaking balls well to generate chase. Whomever is in the lineup today will need to be patient and avoid chasing splitters & curveballs out of the zone.As for the Sox, we have Burke on the mound sporting a 3.88 ERA on the season with a 3.70 FIP and 3.71 xERA. While the overall results have been solid, he’s been very hit or miss with four of his last 8 starts with xERA below 2.00 and two above 7.00. The good news is the K rate is trending up with five of his last eight starts above 10 per 9 and his most recent start at 14.5 per 9. He will certainly need his best stuff & command against a Dodgers offense that impacts the baseball as they currently have the 2nd best ISO.While I think the pitching matchup is better on paper today than yesterday, it still won’t be easy. The one saving grace is we have a fairly disciplined offense who is capable of punishing mistakes. Yamamoto doesn’t give up a lot of HRs, but in this hot weather I think we can hit a bomb or two if we remain disciplined. If we can get five good innings out of Burke today, I like our chances with Taylor, Newcomb, & Dominguez all fresh and able to go four themselves. Gun to head, I’m predicting a 3-2 for our beloved White Sox.Let’s fucking go!!!!

11 hours ago11 hr Tough pitcher to face, but it seems the Sox haven't given a s%*# about that all year. Let's go.

10 hours ago10 hr White Sox are considering promoting top pitching prospect Hagen Smith for Saturday game according to Will Venable. The manager said Smith is one of the team’s options that day,” Levine wrote on X, formerly Twitter.Smith has posted a 3.76 ERA and 1.32 WHIP while striking out 79 batters in 52.2 innings at Triple-A Charlotte. There’s no doubt that he’s shown flashes in the minor leagues, and the White Sox see what he can bring to the majors. Though Venable is leaving the door open for him to get promoted, he noted that they may keep him in the minors for the time being and rely on their bullpen against the Dodgers.yahoo.com/sports Edited 10 hours ago10 hr by caulfield12

9 hours ago9 hr Just went on the Baseball Reference White Sox page and saw this:Playoff Odds: 62.7% to make postseason, 1.6% to win World SeriesThis is also game #69 for the season. On this date the Sox are 58-49vs RHP 2026: 27-21
9 hours ago9 hr Sasaki in his previous 5 starts: 7 ER in 29.1 IPSasaki vs. the Sox last night: 7 ER in 4.1 IPYamamoto in his last 5 starts: 8 ER in 33.2 IPSo maybe they can put up 8 runs in 6 innings or so? ...but probably not.But I’d like them to at least make him work and keep pressure on the LA pen which struggled in Pittsburgh. Yamamoto has pitched into the 7th in 4 of his last 5, don’t let him do it tonight.

Good omen so far.

Arguing you were "right" about a 28th man type is insane, even for the Internet. Oh no Roki came up and gave us like replacement level production for 2 weeks before a better option emerged. Who cares?
