<p class="p--has-dropcap" id="5uqhns">The <a href="https://www.southsidesox.com/">White Sox</a> won big tonight against the Guardians, putting up seven runs off of 12 hits. One of those hits was Tim Anderson’s first home run since July 15, 2022. That wasn’t the only story, as the defense was excellent as well, and made sure Cleveland’s already weak offense was unable to get anything going. The Sox have strung a couple of wins together, and look to win the series tomorrow. Let’s get into the stats behind this White Sox winner.</p>
<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="7J1tI6">
<p id="BLjw7R"><strong>Pressure Play</strong><br>Top honors go to a 2.31 LI single by Cuban pop sensation Yoán Moncada that put the Sox up 3-0 in the bottom of the fifth.</p>

<p id="vq0UbX"><br><strong>Pressure Cooker</strong><br>Really feeling the tension, at 0.87 pLI, was Bo Naylor. Bo did not handle the pressure well, as he struck out twice in three plate appearances.</p>
<p id="d0iuCr"><strong>Top Play</strong><br>The best play of the night was Tim Anderson’s 429-foot bomb to lead off the game. The solo shot set the tone for the night and garnered a 10.0% WPA.</p>
<div id="JWrDrm"><div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe src="https://streamable.com/m/tim-anderson-homers-1-on-a-fly-ball-to-left-field-tzg98a" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;" allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" allow="encrypted-media;"></iframe></div></div>
<p id="izGDdu"><br><strong>Top Performer</strong><br>Tim Anderson was the player of the game, going 3-for-5 with that home run, and amassing a 14.2% WPA for himself.</p>
<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="3Tg9cs">
<p id="hZkgee"><strong>Hardest Hit</strong><br>Josh Bell crushed a 108.6 mph ground out in the fifth.</p>
<p id="rPv7we">The hardest hit ball that was actually a hit was a tie between Eloy Jiménez’s single in the seventh and TA’s leadoff homer, both of which were 108.2 mph off the bat. </p>
<div id="cbtCQV"><div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe src="https://streamable.com/m/analyzing-tim-anderson-s-home-run-through-bat-tracking" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;" allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" allow="encrypted-media;"></iframe></div></div>
<p id="HaiSUj"><br><strong>Weakest Contact</strong><br>The softest hit of the night was a 52.6 mph ground out from Yoán Moncada in the eighth.</p>
<p id="vFbXEN"><strong>Luckiest Hit</strong><br>He had the worst luck in last night’s game, but luck was on Steven Kwan’s side this evening, as he had a single with a .100 xBA in the eighth inning.</p>
<p id="gHtCJu"><strong>Toughest Out</strong><br>José Ramírez did not have any luck when his 105 mph, .890 xBA fly out was caught by Luis Robert Jr. in the second. That ball would have been a home run in nine parks in baseball.</p>
<p id="WvvGZc"> <strong>Longest Hit</strong><br>Of course, it was Tim Anderson’s leadoff home run, traveling 429 feet! </p>

<p id="sPuAjq"><br><strong>Magic Number: 379</strong><br>Tonight’s magic number is 379, the number of days it’s been since Tim Anderson last hit a home run. That bomb also was his 16th leadoff home run as a member of the White Sox, which puts him only four away from Ray Durham’s team record of 20. </p>

<p class="p--has-dropcap" id="qQZaRz">The <a href="https://www.southsidesox.com/">White Sox</a> lose again, shocker! This time it was 9-4 against the Minnestota Twins. The Sox fall to 10 games back of first and almost certainly have no chance to win the division, which was the only way they’d even get a playoff spot. Let’s see the stats on how this loss came to be.</p>
<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="pKqRDN">
<h4 id="KG0vam"><strong>The Starters</strong></h4>
<p id="1k1TFH">It was a strange night for Lance Lynn. He gave up five runs in the first inning, rallied back a bit, gave up another two in the fourth, and then was strangely kept in until the seventh, when he gave up his final two runs. Granted, two errors meant only six of the runs were earned, but it was a baffling decision to keep Lance in that long and probably tank his trade value to almost nothing — especially because he gave up four home runs in the process. His fastballs were hit hard, and generated very few whiffs. Lynn did get a good amount of called strikes off of them, but staying in for that long will kind of skew the numbers a bit. </p>
<p id="HfEBRN">The rest of the pitch breakdown looks like this:</p>

<p id="YJH9zs">Joe Ryan had a decent outing for the Twins, and given the nine runs against Lynn, Ryan only needed to be decent to get the win tonight. Ryan went six innings with 10 strikeouts and four earned runs on seven hits, two of which were home runs. He mostly threw his fastball and splitter tonight, with a sweeper thrown in every so often for good measure. Ryan had as many whiffs (13) on his four-seamer as Lynn did on all of his pitches combined, although he only had four more in total (17). </p>

<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="p6oEiX">
<p id="EwvWKy"><strong>Pressure Play</strong><br>A one-out fly out in the seventh with two men on for Luis Robert Jr. was the tensest point of the game with a 2.27 LI in (at the time) a 7-4 game.</p>

<p id="EbamrK">For the Sox, the most pressure was felt by Luis Robert Jr., with a 0.94 pLI. He did not do well under that pressure either, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.</p>
<p id="KaEZKX"><strong>Top Play</strong><br>It came early, with Byron Buxton’s three-run homer off Lance Lynn pushing the Twins lead to 5-1. His bomb had a .182 WPA.</p>

<p id="ynQ4Sp"><strong>Hardest Hit</strong> Byron Buxton’s absolute missile of a homer in the first had a whopping 114.3 mph exit velocity. Elvis Andrus had a 106.8 mph single in the third inning that took the honors for the South Siders.</p>
<p id="pU6AdM"><strong>Weakest Contact</strong> Zach Remillard’s puny 60.1 mph ground out in the ninth had the slowest exit velo of the ballgame.</p>
<p id="cVxSv8"><strong>Luckiest Hit</strong> It seems crazy, but Byron Buxton’s solo shot in the fourth had an insane xBA of just .060. </p>

<p id="jcM8J7"><strong>Longest hit</strong> Surprise, surprise, Buxton’s first inning homer was the longest hit of the game, traveling 425 feet.</p>
<p id="t58HaN"><strong>Magic Number: 1</strong><br>The pitch number Andrew Benintendi took out of the ballpark to start the game, and also the amount of pitches he swung and missed on — although he only saw eight pitches all game.</p>

<p>The South Siders venture north to Minnesota to try and gain some ground in the division</p> <p class="p--has-dropcap" id="rKRyue">It’s Friday night! The <a href="https://www.southsidesox.com/">White Sox</a> are in Minnesota taking on the Twins and we’re 11 days out from the trade deadline. Very few moves have yet to be made by any team, and the Sox are likely gearing up to sell. The Twins come in on a three-game losing streak at home, and what they do at the deadline is very much as up in the air — as is the state of the AL Central itself.</p>
<p id="qpxWs0">Joe Ryan takes the hill for the Twinkies. He boasts an 8-6 record and a respectable 3.77 ERA thus far. His last and only start against the Pale Hose came on May 2, where he went six innings and gave up one hit and two walks en route to a no-decision. </p>

He’s 6-8 on the season with a 6.06 ERA, and is a likely candidate to get dealt at the deadline despite his subpar performance this season. </p>

<p>Pale Hose pitchers punch out 17, so let’s focus on the bright spots of the contest, however dim</p> <p class="p--has-dropcap" id="CMJ4eG">The <a href="https://www.southsidesox.com/">White Sox</a> have lost again, 3-1 was the final score against the <a href="https://www.overthemonster.com/">Red Sox</a>, and it was rough!</p>
<p id="dba9hs">Given the broken record of this half-season of White Sox baseball, let’s focus on the bright spots — however dim — of the game.</p>
<p id="838GC0">The pitching was actually good, with three runs allowed (only one earned) and 17 strikeouts. Yeah, Lucas Giolito put up 10 Ks, and the staff basically equaled Lance Lynn from Sunday, which turned out great! (checks notes, THEY LOST THAT GAME TOO??? ) Giolito will get the press and headlines, but the bullpen behind him shut it down for the rest of the game, and kept the Sox in striking distance. </p>
<p id="wuFfpZ">Eloy Jiménez was good! He went 3-for-4 on the night.</p>
<p id="PGkwcN">And yeah, that’s about it. The defense was typically abysmal, including a bizarre play where Tim Anderson (in his first major league game at second base) missed Lucas Giolito’s pickoff throw to second and baserunner David Hamilton tore all the way home as the ball squibbed away.</p>
<p id="pCdqel">The final “good” thing? Even 13 games under .500, being in the worst division in baseball means the White Sox are somehow only seven games out of first place. </p>
<p class="c-end-para" id="eG6OP0">The Soxes rack it up again for the sandwich game, tomorrow at 3:10 p.m.</p>

<p>Several Soxes scuffle to steal success against each other</p> <p id="2oLHtg">Racers, start your engines, it’s NASCAR night at Guaranteed Rate Field with a good old fashioned battle of the Soxes. White vs. Red, Italian beef vs. clam chowder, Chicago vs. Boston coming up tonight!</p>
<p id="WXp1al">Starting for the wrong color Sox from Boston (39-37) is Brayan Bello. Bello last pitched on Sunday against the Yankees throwing seven innings, giving up four hits and striking out eight en-route to a win. He is 4-4 on the season in 11 starts with a solid 3.49 ERA, The 24 year-old hasn’t given up more than three runs in his last five starts and looks to continue that trend against a terrible White Sox offense. The lineup behind him boasts the sixth best runs per game (5.08) and OPS (.765) in baseball and looks like this tonight: </p>

<p id="QqWJDN">Starting for the Pale Hose (32-44) is Lucas Giolito, meaning it is indeed Gio Day. Lucas is coming off a mediocre five inning start in Seattle, where he gave up eight hits, but did only allow two runs and struck out five. His season line looks remarkably similar to Bello’s with a 5-4 record and a 3.54 ERA. Gio does have four more starts and about 26 more innings pitched however. He’s had his ups and downs recently, but hasn’t given up more than four runs in the last five games. The Boston offense may give him trouble, but who knows, it’s baseball and anything can happen. Tim Anderson is back in the lineup, second in the batting order and curiously playing second base. His shoulder, apparently is good enough to play, but not good enough to actually play shortstop today. The rest of the starting grid for NASCAR night looks like this: </p>

<p>Nine White Sox fans address what Pride Night means to them</p> <p class="p--has-dropcap" id="eCqH9v">It has been a tumultuous 2023 for the LGBTQ+ community. </p>
<p id="Je5YPj">Drag bans, gender-affirming care bans for trans people, bathroom bills and waves of violence against queer people, among many other terrible things we were already dealing with, have made this year’s Pride Month celebrations complicated, to say the least. </p>
<p id="WbqWEG">The fiasco with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and the <a href="https://www.truebluela.com/">Los Angeles Dodgers</a> sparked a lot of controversy in the baseball community and elsewhere about Pride Nights, leading to many teams caving in to pressure and hate speech, and taking down Pride logos that in other years had been mainstays for the month of June. The terrors the LGBTQ+ community face on a daily basis are inescapable to talk about in an article about a night at a ballpark celebrating the community. </p>
<p id="DahTt5">This story is not about that, however, but about a community coming together to celebrate their identity through the <a href="https://www.southsidesox.com/">White Sox</a> and baseball. It’s about how in the face of great adversity and struggle that we are empowered to unabashedly be who we are. </p>
<p id="OVVHbs">I should know, I am one of them.</p>
<p id="BTURZN">Before we get into the other stories told here, I should share mine. I’m <strong>Jordan</strong> (she/her), I am a transgender woman, lesbian, and White Sox fan since birth. I’ve been out publicly for more than a year now, but have been transitioning longer than that. I have a deep connection of my queerness and the team, as I’ve been a member of White Sox Twitter since before I was out in 2020. </p>
<p id="wOBlI2">Through the community I had cultivated on the internet I had made so many friends (some of whose stories I am gong to tell) who were unabashedly either allies or queer themselves that when I came out, there was nothing but love and support for me. Even now, though the team is so awful, there’s a part of me that’s intertwined with the White Sox because of the support of my fellow fans and friends, and I can’t give them up. </p>
<p id="rdYN0R">Pride Night is near and dear to me. It shows that despite everything awful going on in the world, and as much as people want to and do hate my community, there is space for us in baseball and in the world.</p>
<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="C1HkGW">
<div class="c-float-right"><div id="yzx8YH"><div data-anthem-component="aside:11941134"></div></div></div>
<p class="p--has-dropcap" id="IcrKlV">For <strong>Janice Scuiro</strong> (she/her or they/them), who is bisexual, her Sox fandom came when she was seven years old: “I started watching games on my own. It was probably in 1993. Just turned the TV on and liked watching the game; it was so interesting trying to figure it out.”</p>
<p id="Rv6fNe">Janice sees a gap in their White Sox and baseball fandom and queerness that Pride Night helps bridge. “I don’t think we really talk about how these identities really intersect enough — like being a queer athlete is probably more discussed in the forefront than being a queer sports fan,” she says. “As a queer cis woman, there’s plenty of ‘othering’ that goes on in Sox fandom generally, but finding a community of other queer Sox fans (and allies) has been really fantastic.” </p>
<p id="vwBMq7">Pride Night for Janice, like for me and many others, is a complicated affair that at times it feels like a cash grab. But she sees it as a way to implement positive change for the LGBTQ+ community: “What makes it meaningful is doing more than slapping rainbows on Sox merchandise. Recognizing that queer and trans folks have been significantly overlooked and marginalized by society — and letting fans know that they are welcomed and appreciated, and that intolerance won’t be tolerated. Donating money (and giving a platform) to community centers like Brave Space Alliance and the Center on Halsted is a great place to start. </p>
<p id="F04aTu">“I don’t remember much about the Pride Nights I’ve been to — Shea Coulee threw out the first pitch at one, and that was cool. Liam Hendriks raising the Pride flag — hearing the story behind that was really cool. Drag queens and one ally pitcher are nice, but I’d like to see more, y’know?”</p>
<p id="BPXAhP">Continuing with that sentiment, Janice wants the team to be a better ally year-round: “Inviting community resource orgs to be present, and also offering visibility to fans like us is great for Pride — and for the rest of the year, providing a safe space where folks can just exist without having to worry about harassment or people being jerks is a great place to start.”</p>
<p id="hQcqnD">Janice has underlying words of praise for Hendriks and other ally players, specific to Pride — but also, more broadly.</p>
<p id="UNWwFB">“I’m really thankful for players like Hendriks stepping up to be the “face” of Pride,” she says. “I remember the [James] Fegan article where he talked about how he’d sign with a team that had a Pride Night, and it’s cool how he’s made that his thing. Someone on Twitter made an All-Ally team, and it was enough guys to fill a whole roster. But I’d like to see more players outspoken in their support of the community. I’m also really proud of [ACL White Sox pitcher] Anderson Comás, and I really hope the White Sox realize how important it is to have an out player. And I also hope they are doing everything in their power to protect him.”</p>
<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="DrjgTz">
<p class="p--has-dropcap" id="CHTH2F"><strong>Celeste</strong> (she/her) and her family admittedly “practice White Sox as a religion: My grandpa was a die-hard White Sox fan, and the rest of the family just followed suit. But I would imagine that even if I wasn’t born into it, I would choose the White Sox over the <a href="https://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/">Cubs</a>, anyway.” </p>
<p id="dVP9fN">As a lesbian, Celeste is grateful that no one on the team is outwardly bigoted. “There are many players on the White Sox and other teams I like that don’t share the same morals or ideology as me, or are just generally awful people (e.g., Mike Clevinger),” she says. “As far as being queer goes, I would have a hard time rooting for a team that is owned by outwardly bigoted people (e.g., the Ricketts). That’s not to say the White Sox don’t have any bigoted folks on the team or in the front office, but I can at least appreciate people shutting up when they know they should.</p>
<p id="LC7NBR">“For example, I would be upset if I was a Dodgers fan with the way the team handled the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. I don’t expect my baseball team to be activists or anything like that. As long as they aren’t affirmatively speaking out against the Queer community, that’s fine with me.” </p>
<p id="cCgz87">Celeste’s thoughts on Pride Night are fairly straightforward, but also appreciative that the team has done nights for specific heritages as well. </p>
<p id="5Yv1zO">“[Pride Nights] are good to have. Obviously I’m going to say that because it is representative of myself, but all kinds of ‘pride nights’ should be celebrated. For example, it was awesome that the Sox did an AAPI night.” </p>
<p id="AbKFOg">Like Janice, Celeste wishes the White Sox would do more in supporting the community: “There's certainly always room to put your money where your mouth is, and donate to or sponsor LGBTQ+ organizations.” </p>
<p id="awDiWN">But mostly, she is comfortable knowing that the White Sox community is a place to be who you are without judgment.</p>
<p id="sm0BZk">“I feel really comfortable among our fan base, and am so grateful for the community I have made through Sox fandom,” Celeste says. “I’ve never felt uncomfortable among our fans, and I know y’all have my back.”</p>
<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="i0ZY1t">
<p class="p--has-dropcap" id="Nzo5dQ"><strong>Vino Mazzei</strong> (he/him) Is a gay man who works at Guaranteed Rate Field, and has grown to love the Sox and baseball working for the team. “I grew up going to St Louis Cardinals games, but hadn’t really developed a fandom for any teams in Chicago since moving here in 2008,” he says. “I had an opportunity to work at Guaranteed Rate starting at the beginning of the 2022 season doing hospitality, especially with some of our catering operations. I manage a suite behind home plate and the fan deck in the outfield, as well as the Leinenkugel’s Craft Lodge and the adjoining Miller Lite Landing. </p>
<p id="fQmMoe">“I started to follow the players last season, and am much more familiar with the team and its history this season. I got cozy with the 108 crew toward the end of last season, and am more active on WST this season. I’ve grown to love the team and the fans, and even follow how they’re doing on away games.” </p>
<p id="8nPYXx">Vino finds the vibes and traditions of baseball, as well as the good looks of the players, to be an attractive part of the game for him. “Well, let’s just say most of the players are very easy on the eyes, and I’ve always enjoyed the fit of a baseball uniform,” he smiles. “I’ve known many gay sports fans, but I’m not sure I’ve known any whose whole day is ruined, like me, if their team loses. I mostly feel sad that all these awesome people feel hurt when their team lets them down.</p>
<p id="unhXlS">“I’d say I’m a little more in love with the whole guest experience around the game, and all of the old rituals. I am just starting to scratch the surface with stats, as it’s an extremely stats-oriented sport. But mostly I think of the joy of buying Cracker Jack from a seat vendor as a kid. I want the whole experience to lean a little more toward a music festival vibe.”</p>
<p id="LXn7yF">Mazzei joins the chorus in wishing the team would support the LGBTQ+ community financially as well as in-game, but offers that not all of the community support has to be a line item: “I kinda wanna host drag shows in the [Leinenkugel] Lodge at some point.” </p>
<p id="XG9gQL">He echoes the sentiment of feeling welcomed in White Sox fandom, while also touching on how he personally has connected with the Queer community through working with the team. “Every week or so, I see openly gay couples showing affection, and it doesn’t seem uncomfortable,” he says. “I’ve been very welcomed at the park and on WST, so I can speak from my experience that this is a good group. I love the team and want them to keep their momentum going. There are a lot of good people with good energy who love this team, and I want to enhance the happiness and fun they expect to have at a ballgame. </p>
<p id="SY13td">“I’m honored to help people feel special and taken care of. I also love meeting other queer fans. We hosted a really sweet lesbian engagement party in the suite last season, and the chef and I presented them with a Sox Pride flag.”</p>
<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="079tQN">
<p class="p--has-dropcap" id="HBRkLU"><strong>Darrin</strong> (he/him) found himself and his sexuality through the White Sox fandom he inherited from his dad. “My coming-out process was a rough, long journey,” he says. “It was tough growing up in rural Illinois and being 14 going right into high school when I first started having questions about my sexuality that I thought I would always just keep to myself. I was a sophomore in college when I knew I was bi, and when I first wanted to start coming out I had a lot of individual conversations with my friends on Sox Twitter. That kickstarted a process of talking to my IRL friends about it, and eventually being fully out as of Valentine’s Day this year. I couldn’t have had the confidence to be where I am today if I hadn’t met and interacted with other Sox fans.” </p>
<p id="1tcSG0">Darrin finds that the LGBTQ+ community is part of what makes the White Sox fandom so diverse: “[Being a queer fan] represents what I like about being a White Sox fan, where there’s a whole bunch of different types of people but we all share a common team. It’s what I like about the city of Chicago. We’re all different, but we all just try to do our thing.”</p>
<p id="Kbrhws">He also has taken notice of how Pride Night has resonated with at least one White Sox player.</p>
<p id="bzgYoK">“They provide a cool opportunity for people in the community to come together for athletics and just meet together in general,” Darrin says. “It helps when players are openly supportive, having someone like Liam Hendriks, who makes it a point to be vocally supportive and going beyond wearing a rainbow patch.”</p>
<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="3hBixh">
<p class="p--has-dropcap" id="yI881W"><strong>Chrystal O’Keefe</strong> (she/they) found her team in the Sox, no longer able to stomach Cubs ownership: “I actually left the team on the North Side after disagreeing heavily with their political stance. I shopped teams, but ultimately had the most fun at Sox games.”</p>
<p id="SZCpIl">Chrystal, who is bisexual/pansexual, finds that being a queer fan isn’t always easy: “It’s a different experience, as someone that is not only a woman, but also queer. Cis women aren’t typically welcomed, because of the idea that baseball and sports in general are for men. I feel safer at Sox Park and in that community, especially knowing how vocal players on the team are. But I don’t always feel welcomed or safe going to other ballparks. I try to just be straight-passing if I feel uncomfortable.” </p>
<p id="YpRujs">Speaking on why they feel safer at Sox games, Chrystal says, “It definitely helps that I have a lot of friends at the games, and they all accept me for who I am. Pride Night also makes me feel welcome, because I feel like everyone there supports it. Especially after so many players [on other clubs] have been sharing why they don’t support it/won’t participate.”</p>
<p id="8re9NI">On the nature of Pride Night, Chrystal wants to believe everyone has the best intentions when hosting one. “I’ve always enjoyed White Sox Pride Night, and still proudly display my South Side Society pride flag at my desk,” she says. “I really thought the Dodgers were going to have a great time this year, but was disappointed when they uninvited a well-loved group due to flack from a priest. I’ll be in Pittsburgh for Pride at PNC, and I’m extremely excited to see what that’s going to be like.”</p>
<p id="iGTOml">She wishes the White Sox had more Pride merch, as well as some more in-game support for LGBTQ+ people (and maybe some deals for the community as well): “Discounts for the gays! Kidding. I really think they do a great job with diversity. Inviting drag queens is a blast, as well. I suppose the only thing that would make it better was more Pride merchandise. It’s usually pretty limited, and seems to be able to fit on [one] table in the gift shop. Also, it would be cool to see non-straight couples on this kiss cam every once in a while, if they still have it.”</p>
<p id="dMQ597">Like many others, Chrystal appreciates the very outward support Liam Hendriks has given us. “Honestly, I’m just thankful for Liam Hendriks,” she says. “He’s the true definition of an ally, and I wish there were more players like him.”</p>
<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="uno6PE">
<p class="p--has-dropcap" id="8JC34u"><strong>Julia Hanson</strong> (she/her) has an identity that she would describe as queer. “I had been identifying as bi,” she says, “but queer feels a little more right to me lately.” Her Sox fandom came through going to games with her now-husband Thomas.</p>
<p id="qqZmxR">She feels that her queerness gives her a different perspective as a fan. “The way I experience the team feels different,” she says. “I’m more aware of not only how the organization chooses to represent their support during months like June, but also in all the ‘He Gets Us’ ads up all year. But also with the players themselves, too. I’ll be a lifelong Liam Hendriks fan because I’m proud to be a fan of him. I can’t say I’m excited to watch other players of a much lesser caliber of humanity, regardless of how well they play for the team I root for.”</p>
<p id="Ewyy67">While Julia likes Pride Night, she feels as though it doesn’t come off as well as other special games do. “It’s nice, and supremely underwhelming, as it is in most sports,” she says. “You’d never question which game was Mother’s Day, but if you have the game muted on Pride Night, you probably wouldn’t be aware. I know you could nitpick MLB[-wide] promotions vs. organization level, but the point still stands. If they’re going to make money off of the limited rainbow-branded Sox merch, at least represent it.”</p>
<p id="zKEmqn">Julia also thinks the organization could be doing more in terms of community outreach and accessibility: “I would like to see more support from the organization as a whole. From partnerships and [avoiding] players who are actively against who I am as a person, to representation at the stadium and in their media presence. Also, outreach to the community by creating an in-game experience that feels safe and accessible.”</p>
<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="qvE6Rs">
<p class="p--has-dropcap" id="ygKXnv"><strong>Ryiin</strong> (they/them) is a nonbinary fan, whose upbringing caused an interest in sports and the White Sox at a young age. “My family moved to Iowa when I was 10,” they recall. “My parents were super-religious and were really restrictive of what outside influences they allowed, but sports on TV were totally fine. I probably stumbled upon a White Sox game on TV around that time, in the early ’90s. I was kind of enamored with Chicago, and the Sox were good and the Cubs weren’t.”</p>
<p id="2CVc1u">Did their queerness had any impact on their love of the White Sox? “I was definitely a Sox fan before I identified as queer,” they say. “It may have informed how I saw myself when I was younger, but it’s hard to say there is any direct connection. I wouldn’t say my fandom is much different now than when before I knew my truth. How I related to other fans feels different, but that probably has more to do with how I related to cis[gender] people in everyday life.” </p>
<p id="dPZNzm">Elaborating on that relationship with cis fans, Ryiin says “it influences with whom I would want to watch baseball, if that makes sense. I’m more guarded, and try to avoid more heavily masculine vibes within the fandom. As a queer fan, I definitely gravitate towards similar vibes/energies. I am more aware of my need to seek kindred spirits/spaces that are safe to be me.” </p>
<p id="fiHc0S">Echoing many other fan experiences, Ryiin did in fact find a safe space in with Sox fans on Twitter. “My little corner of Sox Twitter is wonderful,” they say. “I was leery of trying to make connections with other fans for the longest time, but then I met good people on Twitter a few years ago, and now I feel like I totally have a safe space within the fandom to be authentic and be myself, without needing to hide behind the guise of my masculine exterior.”</p>
<p id="ViBUWC">Despite being queer, they feel like they don’t necessarily have a footing in the community yet to comment on Pride Night. “Pride Month and Pride Nights aren’t something that I’ve felt a strong connection to in the past,” Ryiin says. “I 100% support Pride Nights, don’t get me wrong, but it’s hard to speak towards what should be done better or differently. That might have to do with me not really having Queer community than anything. Representation matters, but I don’t know if a corporate entity doing a Pride Night really speaks to my experience. I really haven’t looked into what the Sox are doing specifically, so it’s hard to say what they should do differently.”</p>
<p id="dn792Q">However, they do have some suggestions on the Sox could be doing better: “Off the top of my head, the Sox do a number of good charitable things in the community at large. I don’t know that they are actively involved with any LGBTQIA+ causes. It would be nice to know that they are an ally in real life, beyond the bare-minimum, required PR for Pride Month/Night. I don’t have high expectations of the wealthy, white, good ole boys club of baseball owners, though.”</p>
<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="2Y2orq">
<p class="p--has-dropcap" id="IIfuoB"><strong>Alexis</strong> (she/her), a trans woman and lesbian, found the White Sox at several points in her life but became a fan during the pandemic. “Coming home from elementary school, I’d do my homework and watch cartoons, but around 2011 when I finally got cable is when I started paying attention to sports more,” she says. “WGN existed, too, a local Chicago channel that the White Sox would play on a lot. I’d turn to WGN for the news, and around 6-7 p.m. on certain days they’d play Sox games. I remember hearing Hawk Harrelson multiple times, so the connection has been there for a long time.” </p>
<p id="Ru7MLB">Still not an everyday fan, a decade later she decided to intensify her fandom. “I started watching Cubs Spring Training first, I guess just to see where my head was at. But after a few days I realized I couldn’t bring myself to get invested or care, because that’s not the team I grew up with,” she says. “I turned to Sox Spring Training the next day and was very confused hearing [at the time] random people doing commentary, because I didn’t know Hawk retired.”</p>
<p id="5YKnRL">She finds that Sox fans were a lot more open to her and her identity, although she thought Cubs fans would be as well. “It’s complicated,” she says. “I was definitely scared when my fandom first started, because I don’t try and hide my identity from anyone — never have and never will. I was afraid of the reaction I’d get, though. To see so many Sox fans who are queer was really great to see, no offense to Cubs fans.”</p>
<p id="eHXe0S">Alexis has yet to go to a Pride Night, “but Pride Nights have and always will be incredibly important. It shows we are accepted, loved, and appreciated. I know people say it’s just a publicity stunt or whatever, but I don’t even care, I’d rather have it than not.</p>
<p id="TdnSuc">“As far as our specific Pride Night, I’d like to see more than a shirt. I would love something done pregame and even something like special Pride practice jerseys, similar to what the NHL does. I don’t see that happening, though. But also, aside from merchandise and <em>saying</em> they support us, I want donations to LGBTQ+ businesses, or bring Southpaw to Pride Parade if there isn’t a game that day.” </p>
<p id="iF2LXL">As supportive as Alexis is for the Pride effort on the South Side, she feels more must be done. </p>
<p id="D83YlH">“I love Pride Nights, but that shouldn’t be all that teams do to support us, especially with the way things are now,” she says. “We need the support more than ever, in more ways and on much more than just one night. Being a queer Sox fan is pleasantly nice. It’s nicer here than within the other Chicago sports I follow. Why? I’m not really sure. It might be because we are the second baseball team, or that a smaller fan base means fans are naturally more relaxed and cool, but I’ve definitely felt welcome here. Not just as a Sox fan, but a queer baseball fan in general.”</p>
<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="EGY1Ue">
<p class="p--has-dropcap" id="VxHTrm">These stories are not representative of every LGTBQ+ fan. They never will be. Our community is so diverse in terms of sexualities, genders, and races that one person could never do them all justice. But in a way, that diversity is representative of being a White Sox fan on the whole. </p>
<p id="jz71y8">Everyone is different in their own unique identity. Everyone has different experiences with baseball, and Pride Night is here to celebrate that. Pride is at its core a celebration of those who are different from the norm both in sexuality and gender — and a protest against those who oppose us, who in recent years have gotten more vocal. </p>
<p class="c-end-para" id="BTCocR">It’s challenging to be cognizant of the daily struggle of queer people, while also not giving up hope that one day we will no longer be treated as terribly as we are. Sure, Pride Night is corporate, and more can always be done in support of the LGBTQ+ community, but it’s also a place and a time for LGBTQ+ people to feel safe, to feel welcome, to have a home that accepts them and helps them connect with others in their community because of what they do have in common — not what makes them different. </p>

<p>The South Siders see Seattle’s Seamen for the first time this season</p> <p class="p--has-dropcap" id="pqONRa">Welcome one and all to another edition of Late Night <a href="https://www.southsidesox.com/">White Sox</a> Baseball, this time in Seattle against the Mariners! (Don’t we all just loooove West Coast trips?) It’s Pride Night at T-Mobile Park, and whether or not we’re proud of the White Sox performance by night’s end has yet to be seen. However, given the last two games against the <a href="https://www.truebluela.com/">Dodgers</a>, the Good Guys are most likely going to find a way to disappoint us. </p>
<p id="PAvTnI">Seattle (33-34) is coming off some Marlin fishing in the Puget sound, taking two of three from those Miami fish. Their starter, Bryan Woo, is coming off his second career start. Woo pitched 4 2⁄3 innings against the Halos, giving up two earned runs and four hits while striking out seven, garnering himself a no-decision for his troubles. Being that he is a relative unknown with a 10.80 ERA, expect the Pale Hose to perform poorly against him. </p>
<p id="77iWR6">With regards to hitting, the Mariners offense is only slightly better than our Sox in terms of OPS (.693 vs. .684) and has a batting average (.229) that’s tied with the Tigers for 29th in all of MLB. The lineup, spearheaded by Julio Rodríguez, looks a little something like this:</p>

<p id="vjCRDb">Michael Kopech, who is set to face off against that lineup, is coming off of a solid start against the Marlins last Saturday. The Sox starter went five innings, with no earned runs, five hits, and six strikeouts. He’s quietly been a better starter for the Sox this year than his 3-5 record would have you believe, with a 4.03 ERA and 1.181 WHIP in 13 starts on the season. The tepid offense of the Mariners will hopefully give Michael little trouble, but the stagnant Sox hitters may fail to support him for a win.</p>
<p id="Bv0aPY">That Sox lineup, which continues to be led off by two of the worst hitters on the team right now in Tim Anderson and Andrew Benintendi (who are also first and third in the league in plate appearances without a home run, by the way). No Clint Frazier or Yasmani Grandal tonight, with Benintendi reclaiming his spot in left field and Seby Zavala and his whopping 35 OPS+ behind the dish. The rest of the lineup looks like this:</p>

<p>La Pantera gets it done in the clutch, 2-1</p> <p class="p--has-dropcap" id="yPKTEV">Good News, everyone! The <a href="https://www.southsidesox.com/">White Sox</a> won tonight’s game against the Marlins 2-1! Bad news well ... we’ll get to that, along with some more good news in this recap.</p>
<p id="CTPCay">Good News: White Sox win, Detroit loses!</p>
<p id="jsup7W">Bad News: Chicago is still seven games worse than .500 and Minnesota won, so the Sox gain a game on second, but not on first. But, hey, at least the AL Central leader is at .500 again? The division is anyone’s for the taking at this point. </p>
<p id="DGf2F8">Good News: Luis Robert Jr. walked off the game for the Sox.</p>
<div id="KQcJDw"><div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe src="https://streamable.com/m/luis-robert-jr-singles-on-a-ground-ball-to-left-fielder-bryan-de-la-cruz" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;" allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" allow="encrypted-media;"></iframe></div></div>
<p id="DzAhxA">Bad News: He was 0-for-3 and had only gotten on base via catcher’s interference prior to that at-bat. He also struck out twice and left four men on base, but at least he got a hit when it mattered.</p>
<p id="Q1URvp">Good News: Yasmani Grandal went 3-for-4, with a home run!</p>
<div id="KA7In0"><div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe src="https://streamable.com/m/grandal-s-solo-home-run-5" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;" allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" allow="encrypted-media;"></iframe></div></div>
<p id="7xOpEf">Bad News: Jake Burger went 0-for 4 with 3 Ks. It was bound to happen, but Burger seems to be coming down to earth at home. He’ll probably end up being the team’s only All-Star anyway.</p>
<p id="ZSzm0V">Good News: The Sox had 11 hits on the night.</p>
<p id="nSyAzF">Bad News: They scored two runs to show for it. It was a good hitting night, but they didn’t really string anything together until the ninth. </p>
<p id="k4wUMs">Good News: Dylan Cease went six innings, giving up one run and striking out seven.</p>
<div id="aj03sL"><div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe src="https://streamable.com/m/breaking-down-dylan-cease-s-pitches-x2280" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;" allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" allow="encrypted-media;"></iframe></div></div>
<p id="1IFub7">Bad News: Not really any bad news here, it was a solid outing for Dylan, who sorely needed to get out of the fifth inning, for once. The one hit was the game-tying home run, but you can blame Cease having to walk such a fine line on the offense backing him.</p>
<div id="O6Fhn0"><div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe src="https://streamable.com/m/dylan-cease-s-outing-against-the-marlins" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;" allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" allow="encrypted-media;"></iframe></div></div>
<p id="aRYXX2">Good News: The bullpen retired nine straight batters at the end of the game, and Liam Hendriks got the win. </p>
<p id="1txId9">Bad News: Again, no bad news, pitching was good all night, and Liam got his second win in six appearances this season. Keynan Middleton and Kendall Graveman looked solid, too. No strikeouts for any of them could be the bad news, but I won’t be picky about how they got through their three innings tonight.</p>
<p id="LqE8wA">Good News: The White Sox face off with the Marlins again tomorrow afternoon!</p>
<p class="c-end-para" id="VLXpnJ">Bad News: The Sox played a doubleheader, traveled, played a night game, and now they play a day game, so expect some weird/bad baseball tomorrow.</p>
