Chicago Sports Talk

My White Sox bullpen trust rankings: Grant Taylor Seranthony Dominguez (gap) Sean Newcomb Bryan Hudson (gap) Jordan Hicks Tyler Davis (TBD, small sample) (gap) Osvaldo Bido (gap the size of one million Grand Canyon’s) Jordan Leasure

@NHLBlackhawks Thanks for the 28 blown leads, with 11 blown 3rd period leads!

❤️

to the most incredible fans in the league, thank you for making our Centennial Season absolutely unforgettable❤️

@ChiSoxFanMike @Ryan_Owen12 Why is Bryan Hudson pitching when we’re winning a game? Did the manager lose a bet or just wake up and choose chaos like “yeah, let’s turn a W into a heart attack real quick

@Ryan_Owen12 Yeah I have no faith that they will be able to hold this lead

Davis Martin this afternoon: 6 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 K Best performance from a White Sox starting pitcher all season.

People keep talking about how great Will Venable is, and I’m over here like… did I miss the part where the Chicago White Sox actually won something? Or are we just grading on vibes and motivational speeches now?

Bryan Hudson coming back out for a second inning is like hitting “I’m sure” on a sketchy website download… you knowsomething bad is about to happen, but here we are anyway

@ChiSoxFanMike At this point, I’m expecting the bullpen to come out with a white flag instead of warm-up pitches.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that the pitching is worse now than it was in 2024. This is horrific.

The @whitesox are the first MLB team ever to hit grand slams in consecutive games played in March.

@CHGO_WhiteSox They never make it easy, the White Sox. They stress you out more than trying to send a “casual” text while overthinking every damn word like your entire emotional stability depends on it.

Hold onto your butts. Bases loaded with 2 outs in the bottom of the 8th. 9-4 SOX.

@ChiSoxFanMike Hays said “if the glove don’t fit, you must acquit”… so he ditched it and acquitted that baseball straight over the fence for a dinger

AUSTIN HAYS 3 RUN BOMB

@ChuckGarfien Let’s see if our pitching can hold a lead tonight… getting some very unsettling déjà vu after the White Sox were up 7–3 last night 😬 nothing says character development like preparing for emotional damage in advance

Austin Hays with a 3-run homer to right field. His first home run with the White Sox. They lead the Marlins 4-0 in the third inning.

@WhiteSoxNow @tdelaplane5 I’m worried that we are hitless through two games with RISP and we have struck out 30+ in two games!

Another rough game. Mune hits another home run but the rest of the offense was held in check. I’m not worried because it’s only been two games. Back at it tomorrow to get a win and avoid the sweep. #WhiteSox #ThisIsMyCrew

@scottmerkin Rough is being nice

Brewers win 6-1. Rough start over two games for the White Sox

@ChiSoxFanMike Thank God for Murakami! If he wasn’t on this White Sox team, I think I’d be watching paint dry!

I LOVE YOU MUNETAKA MURAKAMI

@ChiSoxFanMike Why is Antonacci not in the MLB? He’s better than Peters, Benintendi and Pereira!!!

I just can’t watch Andrew Benintendi anymore. This is so bad.

Recap of first 2 innings of the White Sox game: 1. Benintendi sucks 2. ⁠are pitching is worst than expected 3. ⁠Tristan Peters worst ABS challenge ever! 4. ⁠We suck and I’m still going to watch every game this year and have the White Sox control my mental health this summer

@ChiSoxFanMike That game beat the absolute life outta me. Only positives I’ve got: Chase Meidroth actually looked like he knew what the hell he was doing at the plate, and Murakami showed his plate discipline and power. Everything else? Straight-up baseball hell.

I’m glad the White Sox don’t play today. I need a day to mentally recover from the ass kicking they got yesterday.

@ChiSoxFanMike Leadoff tank to open the year?? Meidroth said first pitch, first statement. That’s setting the tone for the whole lineup — pitchers already behind in the count mentally

CHASE MEIDROTH HOMER TO LEAD OFF THE SEASON OH MY GOD x.com/BarnHasSpoken2…

@scottmerkin That’s how you start a season! Young gone wild!

Well, that's something: Meidroth with a long home run on a 3-2 pitch and a little bat flip to top it off. 1-0 White Sox

@ChiSoxFanMike Hearing Ozzie on the Opening Day pregame show has me ready to run through a wall… or at least aggressively pace around my living room!

Can’t wait for the White Sox to control my mental health and happiness for the next 6 months.

@scottmerkin I’m seeing Everson Pereira hype and I just don’t get it. Career .442 OPS in the majors 🤮 Yeah cool, .820 OPS in winter ball… but this is CHICAGO. We don’t do “maybe.” We need BALLPLAYERS. Prove it on the South Side or it means NOTHING. #WhiteSox

White Sox lineup for Thursday: Meidroth 2b, Montgomery SS, Vargas 3b, Benintendi DH, Hays LF, Murakami 1b, Pereira RF, Quero C, Acuna CF, Shane Smith RHP
