When you win 12 home games in a row, you’re due for a clunker. Tonight was one of those nights. John Danks needed two innings and a batter to figure things out, and by that point, he was down 5-0, and the offense couldn’t figure out Dallas Braden’s changeup to bail him out. His location [...]
July 30: White Sox 6, A’s 1
Lucas Harrell woke up with the Charlotte Knights in Louisville, and ended his day celebrating his first major-league victory in an emergency start for the recently traded Daniel Hudson. It was a pretty full day, even if Harrell didn’t exactly look pretty doing it. He pitched around three baserunners in the first and second innings, [...]
July 29: White Sox 9, Mariners 5
Freddy Garcia survived the Mariners’ hardest punches. His counterparts? Not so much. Garcia minimized the damage in each of his tough innings for a quality start en route to his 10th win of the season, bolstered by four homers of support as the Sox won their 11th straight game at home. The Sox actually trailed [...]
July 28: White Sox 6, Mariners 5
Power brought the White Sox back, and power closed this game out. As a result, the White Sox won their third straight game, and one they probably shouldn’t have been in considering the way it started. Seattle scored all five of its runs over the first two innings. Mark Buehrle had some bad luck (Franklin [...]
July 27: White Sox 11, Mariners 0
Bullet points only seem fitting for how hard they hit Ryan Rowland-Smith: *The Sox jumped on Rowland-Smith for all 11 runs over five innings, including three homers. He was clearly out there to take a beating after allowing seven runs over the first three. *It started with a Juan Pierre single, a stolen base, an [...]
July 26: White Sox 6, Mariners 1
Facing Felix Hernandez for the second time in a week, the Sox looked far more comfortable against Seattle’s ace. It helped that Hernandez wasn’t at his best. John Danks was, though, and he cruised to an easy victory, killing a two-game losing streak and preserving the division lead in the process. It looked like a [...]
July 25: A’s 6, White Sox 4
Daniel Hudson stopped a losing streak from starting in his previous outing. Today, he was the chief reason why the Sox lost their second straight. Hudson’s start looked an awful lot like his one against the Royals, except the offense was once again rather sleepy. The score shouldn’t have been this close. He didn’t have [...]
July 24: A’s 10, White Sox 2
The less said about this one, the better. Considering Freddy Garcia threw a miracle quality start in his last outing, his uppance may have come today. He allowed five runs on six hits and three walks over 1 1/3 innings. The end of the first inning showed what kind of day he had in store. [...]
July 23: White Sox 5, A’s 1
The Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum has been tough on the White Sox over the years, and Mark Buehrle has felt it as much as anybody. He entered tonight with an 0-6 record and a 4.66 over 12 starts in That Other City By The Bay. After his second complete game, Buehrle is off the schneid. He [...]
July 21: Mariners 2, White Sox 1 (11 innings)
This one hurts. The White Sox and Gavin Floyd outlasted a dominant Felix Hernandez, getting a scoreless game into extra innings. They did so by using only Sergio Santos and Erick Threets in high-leverage situations. They did so by getting terrific defense and horrific baserunning from the Mariners. They finally got on the board with [...]
