Greg examines how the roster construction of the Dodgers, Blue Jays, Brewers and Mariners, who all played in the Championship Series, should be the model for what the Sox want to accomplish
The White Sox are 9-2 in their last 11 games! Greg explains why their recent play could see them finishing this season with under 100 losses. Plus the conundrum about the future at 1st base, and why the Sox have to sign more starting pitching in the offseason.
Greg explains that while the Sox lineup has a young core that you can watch develop at the big league level, the recent demotions of Jonathan Cannon & Sean Burke show how the biggest need in the offseason should be veteran starting pitching.
Greg discusses how a win like the one on Sunday against the Guardians proves how when the White Sox play at their best, they're actually a pretty good team, the key is just playing well more often than they don't. Plus, we ask why Jacob Gonzalez has been a forgotten man in the Sox minor league system and how he could find his way on the roster sooner than later.
Greg is back from a month hiatus with a myriad of topics to discuss, which include the rise of Colson Montgomery, how Kyle Teel might fit in the outfield, where the current rotation fits as part of the future rotation, and the never ending question around why Luis Robert is still here.
June has not been kind to the White Sox. Greg talks about how the Sox need to manage the workload of the young pitching but also need to continue to find ways to properly manage the development of the young hitting. Plus, a note on the fan incident at Rate Field on Tuesday night.
Greg reacts to the trade that sent Andrew Vaughn to the Brewers in exchange for starting pitcher Aaron Civale, why it was time for a fresh start for Vaughn, and what purpose Civale serves in a Sox uniform on an expiring contract.
A 5-3 record over the last 8 games has Greg waxing poetic about the White Sox rookie infusion and how it sets the table for what this team could be down the road. Greg also talks about why it's the right move to bring Grant Taylor up now as a reliever. Plus, with an arbitration year available next year, Greg also ponders whether or not its worth hanging on to Mike Tauchman for next year.
Ownership change is coming! Greg examines why this strategic partnership came together now and why the Chicago Fire may have lit a fire under Jerry Reinsdorf. Plus, the excitement surrounding the call-up of Kyle Teel and where he fits best in order to get his and Edgar Quero's bat in the lineup every day.
A 3-3 record over the last six games plus the tangible development of Miguel Vargas and Lenyn Sosa has Greg feeling like the positives of this team are coming to light more clearly than they have before. Also, an analysis of the Sox decision to send Andrew Vaughn down and why Sox fans should want to see new outfield acquisition Dru Baker in the bigs sooner than later.
With reports surfacing that Tim Elko is going back to Charlotte, Greg asks the important question of what the heck is Chris Getz doing when it comes to choosing older players over guys that could potentially be part of the future. Plus why the Sox may have 3 of their 4 infield spots set for years to come.
With a 12-29 record after 41 games, Greg ponders whether the White Sox are actually a better team than what their record says. Plus, an examination into when the right time to trade Luis Robert Jr will be.
A 3-7 road trip sees more of the same for the White Sox, including a pair of one-run losses in Sacramento. Greg looks into the new opener strategy and breaks down what he's seen from the Sox starters so far this season and what the Sox will probably do to replace Martin Perez. The second part of the show asks the question of what it will take to get Tim Elko to the bigs.
Meidroth mania has swept itself across the city! Greg recaps the Red Sox series and praises the approach of the South Sider's newest infielder. Plus a look ahead to the A's series and a quick analysis on the Sox ownership percentages recently revealed in a report from Matt Spiegel.
What was that? Greg recaps the strange ending to one of the most painful White Sox losses you will see this year. The Sox fall to 0-5 in one run games and are coming up short around the margins in every which way.
Postgame podcast following the White Sox 1-0 walk off loss in Cleveland on Tuesday. Greg begs the question after his unacceptable performance as to what purpose Mike Clevinger serves on this team? A great Shane Smith start spoiled by Clevinger's horrid 9th & the Sox absence of offense
Greg recaps a horrendous weekend in Detroit with a focus on the bullpen collapse on Sunday. Plus discussion about a lineup that is performing at the levels we sadly expected, with an emphasis on getting more production from the middle infield bats.
Greg wraps up the Twins series talking about a lifeless 6-1 loss on Wednesday. He gives his general thoughts on where some of the Sox players are after six games and looks ahead to the weekend series in Detroit.
Greg laments a frustrating White Sox loss on Tuesday night to the Twins in which they held s 3-0 lead going into the 6th. A great Shane Smith start was wasted by what was Will Venable's 1st major managerial blunder as White Sox manager.
