Last season, Sox Machine partnered with Playback to host virtual Watch Parties for Chicago White Sox games. Since games could last more than three hours, we naturally asked our friends FromThe108 to join us for the ride. It was an experimental experience for us that could open doors to new types of content we produce at Sox Machine.
Based on the sample size from those who joined Watch Parties last season, and our own personal enjoyment in providing live commentary during games, we are bringing it back for the 2023 season. Our next Watch Party will be the Chicago White Sox first Spring Training game which starts at 2:00 PM CT on Saturday, February 25.
Here’s a highlight of Lenyn Sosa’s first MLB home run that we were lucky to host a Watch Party:
