After everything that transpired tonight, it would’ve been too easy if the White Sox could literally walk off the Twins. They had to settle for running like hell, but all’s well that ends well. With the bases loaded and one…
I had the opportunity to watch this White Sox game from the bottom of the second inning onward, but for the third time this week, they grabbed a first-inning lead with a multi-run homer, only to lose that lead in…
In case you were wondering what the last two nights would’ve looked like without late-inning heroics, here you go. Although he fell into an early hole like Dylan Cease and Johnny Cueto before him the previous two nights, Michael Kopech…
Michael Kopech threw a clunker tonight, but if the White Sox imported Dylan Cease’s performance from the previous night, they still probably would’ve lost. The reason I say “probably” is that maybe the butterfly effect of being down one versus…

You could reduce the final score to a story of starting pitchers. Dallas Keuchel gave up a Yankee Stadium grand slam to DJ LeMahieu, and that was too deep a hole against Nestor Cortes, even if he wasn’t on his…
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 would’ve had unfinished business with the Tigers regardless of how they wrapped up today’s make-up game in Detroit, because the Tigers come to Chicago for three more to wrap up the season. That said, the late innings…
