CHICAGO?—?The Chicago White Sox will begin the 2020 Cactus League season, the team’s 12th at Camelback Ranch?—?Glendale, on Saturday, February 22 vs. the Los Angeles Angels. This marks the first time since 2010 that the White Sox do not open spring play against their co-tenant in Glendale, the Los Angeles Dodgers. The White Sox play 15 home games at CR-G, including against the crosstown rival Chicago Cubs on Friday, March 13. The White Sox play the Cubs at Sloan Park in Mesa on...
Ivan Nova’s tenure with the White Sox began in shaky fashion, as he allowed five or more runs in four of his first six starts to the season. However, the former Yankees and Pirates righty has settled into a run of success and tells Doug Padilla of the Chicago Sun-Times that if the opportunity to return to the White Sox presents itself, he would take it. There’s no guarantee that the Sox would make Nova an offer to return, but the 32-year-old’s performance with the club since a...

White Sox fall, 9-2, in a game where very little went right
Well, no way around this one, this 9-2 Malachi Crunch of a Chicago White Sox loss to the Angels was ugly.
It can be spun a spot sunny by pointing out that Eloy Jiménez had seven total bases on a homer and a triple — but you’d also have to point out he jogged out of...
Dylan Cease was just okay, but Griffin Canning was much better, stifling the White Sox offense over seven innings for the 9-1 victory. The White Sox head to Minnesota after dropping three of four in Anaheim. W: Griffin Canning (5-6) L: Dylan Cease (2-6) The Good Tim Anderson: 2-for-4, 2B Eloy Jimenez: 2-for-4, 3B, HR, 2 RBI The Bad The Rest of the Lineup: 3 H, 1 BB, 10 K Pitching (Cease/Detwiler): 8 IP, 15 H, 9 ER, 2 BB, 8 K, 4 HR Moment of the Game Well, I couldn’t pick one from this...
Something’s missing: Yeah, Mike Trout is out of the lineup today. | Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports
The Angels are flying Trout-free today, which seems a ripe opportunity for Dylan Cease and the South Siders to split a series
OK folks, I’m doing double writing duty today, here and at South Side Hit Pen. You’d think I’d figure out how to manipulate the schedule well enough to do less writing with our huge writing crew over there, but, go figure.
Anyway, this was a pretty funny response...
Hector Santiago and Jimmy Cordero started this game out strong, but Evan Marshall imploded in the 7th, and the White Sox dropped one that was firmly in their control. With the loss, the White Sox fell to 55-67 on the season. W: Taylor Cole (3-4) | L: Evan Marshall (3-2) | S: Hansel Robles (18) The Good Eloy Jimenez: 2-for-4, HR, 2 RBI James McCann: 1-for-4, 2B, 2 RBI The Bad Welington Castillo: 0-for-3, 2 K Adam Engel: 0-for-2, BB Evan Marshall: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 1 K Moment of the...
So, a guy walks into a bar and tells you Hector Santiago is going to strike Mike Trout out twice tonight, and you say, yeah, is there a punchline, and he says, yeah, the White Sox lose. | Photo by Victor Decolongon/Getty Images
Offense impresses early, bullpen falters late
Turnabout is fair play, and the same late flurry of runs that iced a 7-2 Chicago victory on Friday night shut the door on them Saturday, as the Angels’ four-spot in the seventh sunk the Sox, 6-5.
And here it is, your...
The Chicago White Sox are using guest announcers for their series in Anaheim while usual analyst Steve Stone takes a breather. So far, these guest announcers have been a hit. On Friday night, Bill Walton joined play-by-play announcer Jason Benetti as the guest, and the results were fantastic. Saturday’s guest announcer was Michael Schur, who is best known for being a writer and producer of “The Office” and co-creator of “Parks & Recreation,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “The Good...

Can Hector Santiago baffle right-handed mashers like Mike Trout and Albert Pujols? It would be ken tremendous if he could
Today’s color commentator literally has some big shoes to fill. But Ken Tremendous of Fremulon Insurance can do it.
He created @nbcthegoodplace.
He's Mose on @theofficenbc.
He's @JPosnanski's podcast partner.
And tonight, he does @whitesox baseball on @NBCSChicago.

Looking at the impact Bill Walton’s White Sox TV appearance had, and asking if this is something that should happen again. Friday night Bill Walton spent an evening with Jason Benetti in the Chicago White Sox TV booth in California. The broadcast was probably not the best that Sox fans have ever seen.

Bill Walton tripped his way into the White Sox broadcast booth — and brought home a decisive, 7-2 win
Well, though I fear my SSS brethren will mostly disagree, Bill Walton’s trip into the broadcast booth on Friday night was a delight.
And one thing you cannot dispute, it was a successful trip, as the Chicago White Sox clobbered the Angels, 7-2.
Here’s the one true...

Jose Abreu cranks a solo home run over the left-center-field wall to notch his second homer of the game in the top of the 7th inning
The Chicago White Sox took a chance when they selected Alec Hansen and it has been a roller coaster ever since they made that decision. Chicago White Sox pitcher Alec Hansen has been on an absolute roller coaster ride since he was drafted in 2016.

The Chicago White Sox had an amazing effort in the ninth inning and came up just one run short of an incredible comeback for the team.

Not just one but two home runs for José Abreu tonight. | Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports
José Abreu clobbered two to the rocks, but a late rally fell short
The Chicago White Sox were never too much into this game, at least until the very end, ultimately seeing their ninth-inning rally fall one tick shy in an 8-7 defeat.
Three guesses as to why:

Yep, another Mike Trout gem made it awfully hard for the White Sox to get on top of this...

The bulk of the masthead is moving to South Side Hit Pen
As we move into the dog days of the season, you’re going to see some changes from some of your favorite writers.
Beginning today, the entire South Side Sox writing team will begin publishing at South Side Hit Pen (@SouthSideHitPen on Twitter), which is separate from SB Nation. South Side Hit Pen will share an identical vision as South Side Sox ... because it’s being produced by the same creative team!
