Vince Velasquez vs. Gerrit Cole seemed like a mismatch on paper, and it turned out that way in practice. The Yankees homered four times for the second straight night, and Velasquz served up three of them. Giancarlo Stanton hit another…
The White Sox are better than this, but after a miserable three games over two days in Cleveland, they shouldn’t expect such benefit of the doubt. The Guardians completed the sweep of the Sox with another game the Sox never…
By throwing José Ramirez a hittable 3-2 fastball with a base open in the first inning, Lance Lynn looked like he was more concerned with taking the straightest line to six innings regardless of the score. Unfortunately, the rest of…
Back in early May, Luis Robert tore his hip flexor in the first inning of a game against Cleveland. The White Sox went on to lose 5-0, and nobody seemed particularly concerned with the day’s outcome as they were about…

Rick Renteria pulled out most of the stops in an attempt to halt the White Sox’s three-game skid skid. He allowed Lucas Giolito to throw 119 pitches to get through six. He used Garrett Crochet on consecutive days, which is…
Tonight marked the ninth time in 2020 that the White Sox failed to homer. They improved their record to 4-5 in such games, so hey, maybe their offense isn’t as reliant on the long ball as you think. Or maybe…
