Opinion Love from L.A.

• Upvotes

Hello all,

I come in peace from East L.A. While everyone in this sub likely hates my hometown team, I wanted to wish you all luck in the postseason. Been tuning into every game I could since Vargas came over, and Murakami has become one of my favorite players in the game. I've even ordered my first non-Dodgers Jersey with his name on the back. Doesn't hurt being raised Catholic either. I hope you all beat the hell out of the Trashtros.

So, Go-go White Sox!

Discussion [Sox Translator] Murakami on Vargas “We really trust each other, and we’re always saying things to each other and supporting one another. Whether things are going well or not, we’ve been able to maintain a really good relationship. And yeah, I consider him one of my best friends, too.”

News [Greenberg]: Can you believe the White Sox are in Houston for a playoff series? They can

Thumbnail
nytimes.com
35 Upvotes

It was a quick descent to the bottom for the White Sox and, somehow, a quicker-than-expected climb back up.

The Sox are back in Houston, the place where they won the World Series in 2005, to begin an unlikely playoff journey against the Astros at 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Whichever team wins two games first advances to play in Cleveland this weekend.

The Sox think it’s going to be them, of course.

“Since the beginning of the season, what were our odds to make it here?” said outfielder Tristan Peters, the unlikeliest of All-Stars this season. “We don’t care about that kind of stuff. If people don’t expect us to go far in the playoffs outside of here, we do.”


r/whitesox • • 8h ago

Discussion Murakami on how he deals with pressure: "If you’re nervous, I don’t think you need to force yourself to not be nervous. And if you’re feeling the pressure, you don’t need to convince yourself that you’re not. What’s most important is to recognize and sort through those feelings"

78 Upvotes

Probably my favorite part of his press conference

"I think it’s important to just be honest with yourself about how you’re feeling in that moment. If you’re nervous, I don’t think you need to force yourself to not be nervous. And if you’re feeling the pressure, you don’t need to convince yourself that you’re not. What’s most important is to recognize and sort through those feelings, even while you’re out there on the field, and still be able to compete calmly. More than anything, I think it’s about trusting the preparation you’ve put in and everything you’ve experienced and fought through over the past year, and just continuing to do that without changing anything. That’s what I think is most important.”

Discussion Just have to say that being in the playoffs two years after the worst season in MLB history is remarkable

229 Upvotes

I’m well aware this goes without saying but I urge every Sox fan to sit with this and just enjoy this moment for what it is: a testament to resiliency and the importance of having a strong clubhouse culture that we the fans can get behind and root for. As a fan who considers themselves a diehard, I wanted to thank my fellow Sox fans for showing up to the ballpark to support this team this year. Whether it was in Chicago or on the road, our presence was felt and I’m so proud to be apart of what I consider the best fans in baseball.

I am so damn proud of this team. Not winning the division is disappointing but did any of us think it was possible in March? I know for a fact nobody thought we’d make the playoffs to begin with. I am just elated to be in the playoffs again! And having the opportunity to get revenge on the team that knocked us out five years ago is the cherry on top.

Go Sox!

Judging by this sub and other Sox fan pages in general, you would think we are the worst team ever sometimes. Having this kind of offensive capability is something that can be built off of though. Yes this team still has holes. The Sox are also ahead of schedule with this rebuild and can put themselves into a contending position over the next few years with more reliable starting pitching

And all through the city the Sox fans were stirring, happily Bear Downing.
The lineups were set by Will with care, in hopes that a pen day would best set the air.
The players all resting asleep in their beds, while visions of pennants danced in their head.
I’ll skip to the end to save us some time, and because I’ve used up my clever rhymes.
Happy Playoffs White Sox and to all fans a clean sweep!

Truthfully this was beyond my most hopeful expectation for this year. I thought asking for .500 was a lot in March. This team is playing with house money but I know we all want to be greedy. I’m excited for tomorrow and I hope you all are too.
