As for elsewhere, we've updated our handles.

Good morning, White Sox fans. NEW @soxmachine podcast presented by @ankinlaw The good vibes continue through San Diego. @JRFegan and I recap the Padres series that featured strong pitching performances. soxmachine.com/2026/05/podcas…

This week's @SoxMachine 2026 MLB Draft Report I shared my thoughts stemming from USA Today's report about the Chicago White Sox "uncertain" about their first overall pick. Column (unlocked): soxmachine.com/2026/04/2026-m…

New @SoxMachine Video Short presented by @ankinlaw Colson Montgomery speaks postgame about his walk-off single and the team sweeping the LA Angels youtube.com/shorts/ju1SWk7…

"There's a lot of belief in this clubhouse that if we start sniffing .500 and then get above it, there's no turning back." soxmachine.com/2026/04/white-…

None of the games unfolded in the expected manner, but the White Sox managed to end up on the right side of the score in all of them to sweep the Angels. soxmachine.com/2026/04/white-…

It's Jarred Kelenic time! (Everson Pereira is hurt (also he's not in the lineup today)) soxmachine.com/2026/04/pregam…

After a three-homer night on Tuesday, Caleb Bonemer had 10 before the end of April. He hit 12 all of last year. soxmachine.com/2026/04/white-…

There's only three hours before another White Sox game to read about various scuffling pitchers, and also one prospect who's looking pretty sharp soxmachine.com/2026/04/white-…

New @SoxMachine Video Short presented by @ankinlaw Drew Romo shares what the experience was like hitting 2 home runs tonight. youtube.com/shorts/dvi3o67…

José Soriano almost got away with a mortal performance, but everybody knows Drew Romo isn't wired to let that happen. soxmachine.com/2026/04/white-…

Cowed by my sobering assessment of the risks they're undertaking by converting infielders with little training, the White Sox are playing three natural outfielders tonight. soxmachine.com/2026/04/emerge…

Even accounting for offense being up around Minor League Baseball, the Winston-Salem Dash are still hitting the bejeezus out of the ball. That and more in Farm Fortnight, our biweekly progress report for dozens of White Sox prospects. soxmachine.com/2026/04/farm-f…

Everson Pereira is trying, almost too hard at times, to make the most of his chance with the White Sox. A tweak that has his zone contact rate up by 10 percentage points early on makes him someone to watch. soxmachine.com/2026/04/everso…

Good morning, White Sox fans. NEW @SoxMachine Podcast presented by @ankinlaw - Audio from Chris Getz and Will Venable - @JRFegan on the White Sox changing backup catchers - Jim Margalus recapping first month of 2026 soxmachine.com/2026/04/podcas…

Officially, the White Sox avoided being shut out this afternoon, but they were blanked in spirit. soxmachine.com/2026/04/nation…

Munetaka Murakami has homered six times in the last seven games. Postgame, he was asked if he had prior hot streaks that measured up. He politely responded: "In Japan, I hit five homers in a row. Five at-bats in a row." So, yes. soxmachine.com/2026/04/white-…

Sam Antonacci looked like he briefly tried to sell an HBP to load the bases in the eighth. Either way, it didn't take, and he ended up hitting the go-ahead sac fly instead. soxmachine.com/2026/04/white-…

A game where both sides are using openers. How did we come to this as a society? soxmachine.com/2026/04/pregam…

Now that Patrick Nolan, aka @SoxMach_pnoles, can talk about his Jeopardy appearance, we asked him tons and tons of questions about it. soxmachine.com/2026/04/qa-abo…

This is great. Game show strategy has evolved since Michael Larson obsessively studied tape to learn the Press Your Luck game board. Congrats to @SoxMach_pnoles!
