A four-game farm SWEEP!!
Charlotte Knights 5, Lehigh Valley IronPigs 4 (Gameday box) (Statcast box)
Brad Keller made his third start for the Knights and was efficient for most his 5 2?3 innings. He leaned on his fastball the most, and it ended up being his most efficient pitch (41% CSW) while striking out seven batters. Keller gave up just two runs on five hits,...

A record-breaking start can’t stop the losing. Plus, things that would get me to enjoy the worst White Sox team in history
Happy Tuesday, White Sox friends, and happy birthday to hypothetical slugger Gavin Sheets. We’ve got a lot to unpack today, so I’ll open with a quote from South Side legend Bill Veeck:
“The most beautiful thing in the world is...

More like Gamedread, am I right?
Happy Tuesday, White Sox friends, and happy birthday to our third-highest batter by average, Gavin Sheets, who’s coasting just above that dreaded Mendoza line.
The possibility that the Minnesota Twins will continue to struggle is keeping us afloat. However, even if Erick Fedde (1-0, 3.10 ERA) manages to silence their bats, it’s a sure bet that he won’t get the run...

Hello friends, and welcome to another Bird App Recap!
The last time I tweet-capped Pale Hose happenings on a baseball diamond, the plucky South Siders bravely faced major league competition for the very first time in the young 2024 season. Too bad the White Sox failed to field a major league-quality squad on Day one, and have yet to do so as the first month of the season draws to a close.
The Sox, of course, lost on...

Chrystal and Ben chat about the bottom-dwellers of the AL Central
The delightful Ben Jones of our sister site Twinkie Town joins the show to discuss the Minnesota Twins. Sitting just above the White Sox, the Twins are also riddled with injury and only rearranged their roster, aside from parting ways with Sonny Gray and Jorge Polanco in the offseason. But with heartthrobs like Joe Ryan pitching and a healthy Byron Buxton, the team might be able to contend this season.
Here’s what...
