Good Guys Talk Back ·

2022/06/20

Hey Sox fans, our Chicago White Sox are a few games under .500 but are back at home and Tim Anderson is returning to the lineup. The Sox host the Blue Jays and Orioles this week as the Sox hope to recapture some of that offense from almost a week ago when they were in Detroit. We talk about Moncada's latest injury, the status of Eloy, lineups, second base and starting pitching. We also recap the series in Houston. Is Johnny Cueto for real? Can he continue to pick up the slack as Giolito scuffles and

2022/06/13

Hey Sox fans, our Chicago White Sox just dropped two of three to the Texas Rangers and have fallen to 4 games below .500. They are 6 back in the AL Central race. What could go wrong, has gone wrong for the White Sox and the frustration from the fans has reached a boiling point as "Fire Tony" chants rang out loud and clear this past weekend. Jake Burger has stayed hot and has made the most of his time in the lineup. Danny Mendick has continued to play well, too. The White Sox have lacked a consistent

Hey Sox fans, after a horrible trip in Toronto, the Chicago White Sox took two of three from the Tampa Bay Rays and find themselves two games under .500 as they head back to the South Side to play the Los Angeles Dodgers and Texas Rangers. Maximizing their time on the field, the White Sox got production from Danny Mendick and Jake Burger in big ways. Andrew Vaughn continues to be a bright spot and Liam Hendriks looked outstanding, earning his 16th save in the series finale. When will Sox fans see

Ep. 173 - Not Dark Yet, But It's Getting There

2022/05/31

The Chicago White Sox are (23-23) and several players are not living up to the back of their baseball cards. Will they ever achieve that goal or are some players like, Yasmani Grandal, destined for mediocrity. The White Sox cut ties with Dallas Keuchel and then lost Tim Anderson to a groin injury. When will the setbacks end? How can this team stay afloat with Tim Anderson? Things need to start trending in a different direction immediately and the White Sox need to be able to rely on Jose Abreu, Yoan

Hey Sox fans, the White Sox won 2 of 3 against the Yankees in New York. Josh Donaldson cements his place on the White Sox most hated list. The Chicago White Sox retaliate to Donaldson's actions by taking both games of a doubleheader on Sunday. Tim Anderson hit a HUGE three run homerun and Michael Kopech pitched his best game of his career. Johnny Cueto dazzled once again in Game 1. The Sox offense continues to flounder with runners in scoring position but the Sox were able to get the job done in New

Ep. 171 - Hope and Potential

2022/05/16

The Chicago White Sox lost 3 of 4 to the New York Yankees on the South Side and the inconsistencies continue to pile up. When will this team, if ever, live up to the potential that their talents offer? Is it when Jimenez and Lynn come back? Is it in June when the weather will surely be hot and humid? Maybe getting smacked around by the Yankees will light a fire and get this White Sox team to make the necessary changes needed to play to their potential? The White Sox head out on the road to play 5

Ep. 170 - Flipping The Script

Good Guys Talk Back ·

2022/05/09

Hey Sox fans, the Chicago White Sox have won six straight games, sweeping the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs. During this stretch, the Sox have flipped the script as their pitching as well as defense have been outstanding. Sox bullpen gave up one earned run during the weekend series against Boston. Solid outings by Keuchel, Cease and Velasquez have helped the White Sox finally get over .500. The offense is doing just enough but Jose Abreu is starting to heat up. Additions of Yoan Moncada and Joe

2022/05/02

Hey Sox fans, The Chicago White Sox are in desperate need of some consistency. The rollercoaster ride of April had far more dips than expected. The Sox find themselves five games under .500 and trying to salvage a split with the Los Angeles Angels. Dylan Cease once again is looked upon to get some momentum going before the big series with the Cubs. Yoan Moncada and Joe Kelly are making progress in Charlotte with hopes they can provide some reinforcement soon. It seems to be well accepted amongst

Ep. 168 - Ugly, Not Winning

2022/04/25

The Chicago White Sox were swept on their latest road trip. They lost 3 in Cleveland and 3 in Minnesota. Anything that could go wrong, did go wrong. To complicate matters, Eloy Jimenez injured his hamstring and may miss up to 8 weeks. The basic fundamentals have been extremely bad. Maybe it's just bad baseball in April? Maybe it's the result of so many injuries? Maybe the White Sox are just really bad now and need to make some changes? Thank you for the continued support, Go Sox. --- Send in a

Ep. 167 - Cease & Kopech combo

Good Guys Talk Back ·

2022/04/19

Hey Sox fans, just recently the White Sox were ranked #3 in MLB latest power rankings. The Sox starting pitching have held strong, sporting a league best 2.68 ERA. Dylan Cease and Michael Kopech have been great so far as the Sox offense tries to wake up. If you are not hitting the ball out of the ballpark or relying on typical power numbers, than you need to get creative to score runs. The Sox have been very aggressive at the plate and on the base paths. But is the low OBP and walk rate in April a

2022/04/11

The White Sox took 2 of 3 from the Detroit Tigers and are ready for the Home Opener. After a rough loss on Opening Day, the Sox bounce back with back-to-back wins thanks to Dylan Cease and Andrew Vaughn. Unfortunately, the Sox deal with more injury issues. Lucas Giolito was pulled from his Opening Day start due to an oblique strain. AJ Pollock left Saturday's game with a hamstring issue. Do you follow the career of players after they leave the White Sox? We talk about Carlos Rodon's impressive start

2022/04/06

Hey Sox fans, Spring Training has wrapped up and the White Sox are turning their attention to the regular season. We make some individual and team predictions as well as discuss where this team can still get stronger. Lance Lynn is sidelined with a right knee issue for possibly 8 weeks. Where will the extra innings come from and is Johnny Cueto really an answer? We say goodbye to Zack Collins and wrestle with the lack of production from our recent first round draft picks. This 2022 White Sox team is

2022/03/30

Hey Sox fans, Nick and Pat discuss the Vaughn injury, TLR's problem with Sox fans and the return of Miller Lite. There are just a handful of Spring Training games left but Vaughn is on the shelf due to a hip injury while making a catch in RF. TLR feels like there options to play RF within the organization and if you are looking elsewhere, "you're probably not a White Sox fan." Also, Goose Island will longer have the same presence on the South Side as Molson Coors moves back in to quench the thirst

2022/03/23

Hey Sox fans, Spring Training action is here and we have actual baseball happenings to discuss. Nick and Pat talk about the latest from Arizona while also wondering if there will still be a few moves made before Opening Day. Last November, Rick Hahn talked about the need to address particular positions as well as to put in the work during the off season to field a better team. Has the work been done? The 2022 Sox will be fun and very good but is this current Sox team better than the team that got

Hey Sox fans, we were lucky enough to be joined by David Marran, however you might know him better as Sox Nerd. He talked with us about his career with the White Sox organization, his podcast, blog and one of a kind Twitter account. We spoke about favorite players, people and moments during his time as a member of the White Sox scoreboard team. Pat and Nick also tried to make sense of the latest CBA negotiations. Larger bases? Pitch clock? Banning the shift? Lots of great White Sox conversations

2022/03/02

Hey Sox fans! What the hell is going on? MLB games have been officially canceled after recent back and forth negotiations between the two sides failed to accomplish the task at hand. The first two series of regular season games have been removed from the schedule. How did we get here? Can baseball survive a lengthy and ugly lockout? Where does the blame get placed? We try to make sense of things but we are very, very angry. Thank you for the continued support. We will continue to get you through

Hey Sox fans! James Fox from Future Sox & South Side Sox joins the conversation to talk about an article he wrote that focuses on the importance of adding more pitching to this White Sox roster once the lockout ends. We discuss potential targets for the Sox to go after to help bolster the starting staff as well as the bullpen. Are there young arms that can be packaged up and sent elsewhere? We also talked about the makeup of the current starting rotation. What are the expectations for Keuchel

Hey Sox fans! Jordan Lazowski from Sox On 35th & Diamond Digest joins the conversation to talk about where the focus should be for the Sox once the lockout ends. We discuss why Michael Conforto would be a perfect fit for right field in 2022 and how Dylan Cease can have a Cy Young type of year. Also, what kind of numbers does Moncada need to put up to shut up his critics. With universal DH coming to baseball, what current Sox could potentially be sent over to the NL?

2022/02/09

Hey Sox fans! We were joined by Steve Paradzinski from Sox On Tap to talk about his recent article revolving around Robin Ventura. He wore the Sox uniform for ten seasons as a player and five as a manger but unfortunately his lackluster managerial years often eclipse his amazing playing career on the South Side. Was it really his fault? We revisit the timing of Ventura's hiring and speculate as to why it even happened in the first place. We also discuss Ventura's career at the hot corner for the Sox
