Behind a Lucas Giolito masterpiece, the White Sox won their first postseason game in 12 years
It was the first White Sox playoff game in 12 years, and the South Siders gave their fans a thrill that many of us have dearly missed. Let’s take a look at how the White Sox started out their postseason with a victory.
FanGraphs Favored most of the day:...The White Sox ended up taking the game 4-1.
As the Chicago White Sox closed the regular season with seven losses in their last eight games, it looked increasingly like they'd be fodder for early playoff elimination. Lucas Giolito had other plans...
The White Sox received a 5.40 ERA, 2.33 K/BB rate and 9.5 K/9 over 20 innings from Cishek.

Lucas Giolito will be the White Sox’s first postseason starting pitcher since Gavin Floyd
Well, here we are, White Sox fans. The postseason has arrived, and for the first time in 12 years, the South Siders (35-25) will participate. They will play a best-of-three series in Oakland against the Athletics (36-24).
Lucas Giolito will...
Garcia hasn’t played since Aug. 10 after a severed thumb ligament required surgery.
The biggest headline (and sign of relief for Chicago fans) of the roster announcement is the presence of Eloy Jimenez, who has been out of action since Sept. 24 due to a mid-foot sprain.
The White Sox have reinstated utilityman Leury Garcia from the 45-day injured list and included him on their postseason roster, the team announced. Righty Alex McRae was designated for assignment to create roster space.

The Twins try to hand the division to the White Sox. The White Sox say: No thanks
You’ve gotta be kidding me. A perfect storm brewed for the White Sox on Sunday:
Cubs clinched Saturday and pulled starters. Cubs sub out José Quintana for a bullpen arm to start. Twins lose to the Cincinnati Reds to fall behind the White Sox in the division race, if ...Well, “if” the White Sox win.
The White Sox didn’t win.

A South Side win, and Twins loss, and we’re AL Central champs
The playoff scenario is complicated, still. Thankfully, MLB.com writer Do-Hyoung Park has flow-charted it for us:
Do-Hyoung Park/MLB.comIn short, the White Sox can still be the No. 2, 3, 4, or 7 seed. But in order to stay at home for the first round, the South Siders need to beat the Cubs today.
Here’s who is trying to do that:

Exactly what the doctor ordered! The Chicago White Sox pounced on the first lefty they have seen in ages, en route to a series-tying victory against the Chicago Cubs!

Dinner is served: Sox look to feast on lefty Lester
Best thing about yesterday? It’s not today. Today, the Chicago White Sox look to even their weekend series against the Chicago Cubs.
Dane Dunning (2-0, 3.19 ERA) looks to continue his early success as a major league pitcher. Dunning did have his first rough start last time out, but his growing pains are natural, as he looks...
Major League Baseball has handed down a pair of suspensions arising out of last night’s game between Chicago’s crosstown rivals.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Nope.
FanGraphs The StartsAfter the game, Dylan Cease said he was happy with his start, because he corrected the issues that found him walking seven batters and hitting one. Sure, but when you trade wildness for straight heat that gets clobbered over the fence by a team that came in with zero offensive prowess, that’s the wrong kind of correction. To wit, Cease had a 40 game score in Cincinnati, just 26....
Contreras said he knew he was going to be hit and could see it coming.

No Eloy? No problem! Er ...
Well, the big news is right here, and it’s not good:
Ricky on Eloy, sort of dropping a bombshell straight off: "They checked him out, he got a bigger image, a mid-foot sprain. He'll be off his feet for a few days, see if they can calm it down. Will try to re-evaluate Monday."
— South Side Hit Pen (@southsidehitpen) September 25, 2020So, OK, news cobbled together from today’s other threads:
Evan Marshall activated off of...Jimenez has had a great season for the Pale Hose.
The Mariners have claimed right-hander Ian Hamilton off waivers from the White Sox, per an announcement from Seattle. The White Sox designated Hamilton for assignment Sept.
Not the best-timed announcement, perhaps, but 5,000 flags will be distributed on Monday in advance of the playoffs
