Noah Schultz's performance in 2025 raised a lot of questions, but the way he's started the 2026 season has answered them pretty convincingly.

Hey, the wording on my Noah Schultz headline from earlier this week held up. soxmachine.com/2026/04/whit...

Think of all you've accomplished in your life in the roughly 48 hours since the last time the White Sox sent more than four hitters to the plate in a single offensive inning. (Grant Taylor opens tomorrow, with Jonathan Cannon coming up) soxmachine.com/2026/04/roya...

The White Sox have played their two shortest nine-inning games of the pitch clock era on consecutive days, because their hitters have seen a grand total of 205 pitches and scored a grant total of zero runs between them.

New @soxmachine.com Video Short presented by Ankin Law Chicago White Sox RHP Duncan Davitt shared what his MLB debut experience was like against Kansas City. youtube.com/shorts/daPFr...

The White Sox played their quickest game since Chris Sale and Mark Buehrle threw dual complete games 11 years ago. That's the nicest thing you can say about this one. soxmachine.com/2026/04/roya...

They just closed the window that was open in the press box and freezing all of us. So now I'm AMPED for April White Sox-Royals again soxmachine.com/2026/04/preg...

Watching Jordan Leasure throw a pair of splitters to strike out Carter Jensen, thinking "that's the pitch he'd been talking about for years," and then reading what @jrfegan.soxmachine.com wrote about it.

Even as someone who produces long, overwritten scouting reports for a living, I must appreciate Edgar Quero's blunt, concise report on Anthony Kay "That guy has some good shit." soxmachine.com/2026/04/whit...

The White Sox have won at Kauffman. Repeat: The White Sox have won at Kauffman.

WE ARE ALL (probably overstating viewership) WITNESSES

I don't like to flaunt my superior lifestyle over everyone else but I'm here live--LIVE--as the White Sox try to avoid 15 consecutive losses at Kauffman Stadium soxmachine.com/2026/04/preg...

Duncan Davitt might be the first active sportswriter ballplayer in White Sox history. soxmachine.com/2025/09/new-...

Some media members here in Kansas City are referring to him as "The Real Ice Man in Chicago Sports" Brandon Eisert has been recalled as the White Sox put fellow lefty reliever Chris Murphy on the IL for elbow impingement. Duncan Davitt up, Tyler Schweitzer down

Duncan Davitt is getting the call from the White Sox to address a short-term need, but Noah Schultz looks ready to force a more significant revision to the rotation. soxmachine.com/2026/04/whit...

In this week's @soxmachine.com 2026 MLB Draft Report: - Roch Cholowsky snaps his 11-game homerless streak - Justin Lebron continues to struggle vs. SEC - Jackson Flora extends his scoreless innings streak - Games I'm watching this weekend soxmachine.com/2026/04/2026...

Well the White Sox got swept by the Orioles but at least I'm looking pretty good to make my dinner reservation soxmachine.com/2026/04/orio...

Today is the two-year anniversary of Pedro Grifol's eclipse comments, and they're facing the starter who inspired the only specific moment he regretted. soxmachine.com/2026/04/preg...

It took 11 games for the White Sox to option their Opening Day starter, which is a problem.

White Sox are optioning opening day starter Shane Smith. Tyler Schweitzer is coming up to take his roster spot.

New @soxmachine.com Video presented by Ankin Law Chicago White Sox Postgame Presser for today's game against Baltimore focuses on Shane Smith's outing. Comments from Will Venable and Smith. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV88...

Well the White Sox aren't playing well but at least they seem extremely upset about it. soxmachine.com/2026/04/orio...

Well, the White Sox lost a second straight game to Baltimore, but at least nuclear war hasn't started yet?

Brooks Baldwin underwent an internal brace procedure on his right elbow. His season is over.

The White Sox are burning through outfielders at an alarming rate.

It's the 10th game of the season and I've lost all sense of space and time. For example, how is Grant Taylor starting again? soxmachine.com/2026/04/preg...

Brian Bannister didn’t necessarily co-sign my wording that the White Sox want to “re-complicate” the delivery of struggling opening day starter Shane Smith. But they do feel he simplified it to the point of losing deception, and they’re trying to undo it. soxmachine.com/2026/04/unsi...

The White Sox currently employ five members of the 2021 Ole Miss team, and had a sixth at one point.

We're opening today's White Sox Minor Keys with my first in-person look at Tanner McDougal. soxmachine.com/2026/04/whit...

The White Sox needed to get their shit together ""It starts with Will [Venable] saying 'Hey guys, this isn't what we did in spring, this isn't the kind of baseball that we practiced and drilled in for six, seven weeks in spring training." soxmachine.com/2026/04/whit...

Chase Meidroth just airmailed a practice throw over Munetaka Murakami's head. The White Sox are ready for baseball in Chicago. soxmachine.com/2026/04/preg...

Both games I intended to see on Saturday were rained out, so the Keys instead open with a George Wolkow batting practice photo essay. soxmachine.com/2026/04/whit...

Everson Pereira is going on the IL with a left ankle sprain and Tanner Murray has been called up to take his roster spot.

Listening to the Blackhawks in the background, and "Kaapo Kakko oppo taco" is my new vocal warmup.

I love not having to write the end of the White Sox game recap on my phone while Will Venable is talking at the podium soxmachine.com/2026/04/whit...

It seems chilly, gray and miserable here in Chicago. At least I'm safe and warm in a press box instead of outside playing baseball like an IDIOT soxmachine.com/2026/04/preg...

Guillermo Quiroz went from winning the Southern League with the Birmingham Barons to coaching one level lower, but he sees managing Winston-Salem as not a demotion, but an upgrade.

Jedixson Páez cleared waivers after being DFA’d and was returned to the Red Sox. The White Sox took two pitchers in the Rule 5 Draft and returned them both, a year after taking one pitcher in the Rule 5 Draft and somehow retaining two.

Since I can't be in two places at once, I'm taking a break from the Charlotte series and taking in the Dash season opener in Bowling Green.

This White Sox recap needed a lot of edits, like the part where they won the game, instead of losing it in deflating fashion. soxmachine.com/2026/04/whit...

This morning on Sox Machine, I wrote up a quick review of Hagen Smith's start last night. He's throwing more strikes with more pitches, and now it's a matter of seeing if he can do it over more innings.

Sam Antonacci gets on base, and seemingly would sacrifice a limb if it meant moving a runner over to third with less than two outs. What the White Sox and @soxmachine.com are trying to find out is if he can play left field. soxmachine.com/2026/04/sam-...

Sam Antonacci is starting at second tonight, but that shouldn't stop you from reading about his outfield work. soxmachine.com/2026/04/sam-...

Talked to Sam Antonacci about his first five games playing the outfield with Charlotte, in anticipation of the White Sox giving him run in Chicago's outfield sooner or later.

I've seen Noah Schultz pitch as effectively as he did last night, but I haven't seen him throw so many pitches as effectively as he did last night. soxmachine.com/2026/04/whit...

The White Sox sure do look bad soxmachine.com/2026/04/marl...

The White Sox's Rule 5 heat check was unsuccessful, as they DFA'd Jedixson Páez to make room for Lucas Sims. Now let's pile in and talk about today's fresh hell.
