For you night owls in the readership, today\u2019s game is for you: The first night game of 2026.<\/p>\n

For you aspiring broadcast consumers in the readership, however, this game is not at all for you, with no options beyond play-by-play on Gameday to follow the action. Yes, it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019re going to stay up until 10 p.m. chatting about agate type-reports of Game 14 of Spring Training. Still, I will persist with a game thread.<\/p>\n

Tipoff is 7:05 p.m. I will try to pen a creative recap base on, dunno, exit velocity, very late tonight.<\/p>\n

And in other news, the roster for the Spring Breakout Game on March 21. Undoubtedly, this roster consists of the most promising prospects in the White Sox system:<\/p>\n

As we did a year ago, we\u2019ll be carving out separate coverage for the prospects game, a couple of weeks from now.<\/p>\n

In related news, beginning in 2027 this prospects showcase is going to expand into a tournament, which could be fun to follow \u2014 especially in a non-WBC year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For you night owls in the readership, today\u2019s game is for you: The first night game of 2026.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":609227,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2379],"tags":[5,138,49,2561,458,4,36746,2003,396,2562],"class_list":["post-609226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-chicago-white-sox","tag-baseball","tag-chicago","tag-chicago-white-sox","tag-chicagowhitesox","tag-edgar-quero","tag-mlb","tag-rick-scuteri-imagn","tag-sean-burke","tag-white-sox","tag-whitesox"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116180749419653780","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=609226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609226\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/609227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=609226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=609226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=609226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
