White Sox
The teams were set to join Stadium once their agreement with NBC Sports Chicago expires in October. On Saturday, The Athletic reported that the teams will partner with Standard Media Group, a company based in Nashville, Tennessee.
Tommy Pham gave the Sox the lead with an RBI single. After a three-hour delay, Tanner Banks needed 39 seconds to strike out pinch hitter Ivan Herrera looking to end the game.
In 1982-83, White Sox, Bulls and Blackhawks games aired on SportsVision, a pay-TV service devised by business partner Eddie Einhorn. It was so far ahead of its time that it failed, miserably.
Anderson talked smack, flipped bats and became the coolest thing about a Sox team seemingly headed for great things. Then it all went “poof.” In town with the Marlins, he discussed it on Thursday.
“It may be the best option available,” Marc Ganis, the co-founder and CEO of Chicago-based Sportscorp Ltd., said Wednesday. “Sometimes you just have to take the best option available, even if it’s not ideal.”
Cannon, who allowed three hits, struck out three and walked one, threw 54 pitches for strikes.
The Sox went 1-for-16 with runners in scoring position, scored four runs but pulled out a doubleheader split.
“I never thought my season would be over,” Moncada said.
Behind-the-scenes folks at NBC Sports Chicago, such as producers, directors and production technicians, would help ease the transition. The teams already have informed some current staffers that they would be making the move.
They’re the third pair of Sox pitchers to make debuts in back-to-back games, and the first since 1932.
The White Sox and Royals will play a straight doubleheader Wednesday.
The Sox made the veteran outfielder’s signing official.
Nastrini pitched five innings of two-run ball in the loss to the Royals.
We all love sports teams, but regular people don’t own the buildings or the land they frolic upon. We just pay homage to the teams — and to the power-laden who own them.
The Sox’ bleak start to the season continues. They have a five-game losing streak, a 1-8 record at home after the latest loss and shutout — 2-0 to the Royals — and a 2-14 overall record.
The teams’ contract with rights holder NBC Sports Chicago expires in October, though there’s a possibility that the sides could agree to a six-month extension, in which case Stadium would take over when the Sox begin play next year.
Max Stassi was transferred to the 60-day injured list.
Nastrini was acquired from the Dodgers in the deal for Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly.
“In total, we had eight walks,” manager Pedro Grifol said. “It’s hard to win baseball games like that.”
Not to tell new Sox general manager Chris Getz how to do his job, but he probably should go out and find at least one superstar talent who actually can stay on the field. You know, just a thought.
Among players with at least 20 plate appearances entering play Saturday, Sheets was third in the American League in slugging percentage.
At 2-12, the Sox matched the 1968 team for the worst start in franchise history through 14 games. They have been shut out five times.
The third inning was the difference in the Sox’ loss to the Reds at Guaranteed Rate Field.
GM Getz understands fans’ discontent. Another year, another season devoted to talking about injuries to key guys for a Sox team that has gotten off to a 2-11 start.
Oscar Colas is optioned back to Charlotte after one game, Zach Remillard gets called up and Yoan Moncada goes on the 60-day injured list.
If the White Sox succeed in getting the city and state to build them a new home on ‘The 78' site in the South Loop, this little-known Iraqi-British billionaire stands to profit.
The right-hander seems to belong in the bullpen, where he has shown flashes of dominance.
The Sox were 3-for-15 with runners in scoring position.
“No way to think that’s going to happen,” Grifol said of injuries to Yoan Moncada, Luis Robert Jr. and Eloy Jimenez.
Bad players and an owner who doesn’t care are a recipe for disaster.
The Sox put him on the 10-day injured list. The club called up outfielder Oscar Colas from Triple-A Charlotte.
Grifol’s job is getting more difficult by the day.
