Ep. 256 - The White Sox are Moving North?

Good Guys Talk Back ·

2024/01/22

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Have you heard the serious talks about the Chicago White Sox building a new stadium a few miles north in the South Loop neighborhood? How could you not? Could this really happen or is it all just a distraction from the nothingness that is the White Sox off-season? It's apparently a three person race for the next Sox play-by-play broadcaster. Baseball executives believe Chris Getz will wait and trade Dylan Cease at the deadline. Also, the Sox

Ep. 255 - Do What You Want

Good Guys Talk Back ·

2024/01/15

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Garrett Crochet wants to be a starter in 2024 and it sure sounds like Chris Getz wants to give him that opportunity. Maybe the theme for the Sox this season should be: Do whatever you want, nobody is watching. Perhaps other players might explore different avenues. Michael Kopech is in great shape and ready to deliver. There's a new assistant general manager on the South Side and he has Kansas City connections. Also, the Sox released the first

Ep. 254 - Warm Bodies

Good Guys Talk Back ·

2024/01/08

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. As the winter presses on, the White Sox continue to gather players that either were former KC Royals or add some very basic depth to a variety of places in the organization. If quantity was the name of the game, then the Sox are leading the offseason. The Sox hint at an upcoming promotional schedule being release and Luis Robert Jr. will be a focal point in 2024. Also, predictions are made that Dylan Cease will be on the roster on Opening Day. Thank

Ep. 253 - 2024 AL Central Champs?

Good Guys Talk Back ·

2024/01/01

Hey Sox fans! Happy New Year and Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. We've got some skin in the game after taking advantage of +3500 odds for our White Sox to win the division in 2024. Sox add some catching depth by bringing in Martin Maldonado. Hopefully his defense returns to accustomed levels and his offense defies all odds. Sox also added some pitching since the last time we talked. Reliever Tim Hill has been added to the bullpen and starter Chris Flexen has been brought into the rotation

Ep. 252 - Season Grievances

Good Guys Talk Back ·

2023/12/23

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. In the spirit of Festivus, we air some grievances about our beloved White Sox. How can you skip having a fan festival for ALL fans of ALL ages once again? The Sox are honoring season ticket holders in late January but what about everyone else? The disinterest in growing their fan base in a sad state of affairs. Can the Sox benefit from addition by subtraction in 2024? Was Tim Anderson or Yasmani Grandal really the problem? Hopefully the new year

Ep. 251 - Waiting, Watching and Wondering

Good Guys Talk Back ·

2023/12/18

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. If the AL Central is truly for the taking and the Sox think that they can compete in 2024, then what's the holdup? The Royals have made some moves recently that are not terribly flashy but are at least trying. It's still early in the off-season but it's not that early. Are the Sox waiting for the market to play into their hands or are they watching to see what other teams do... maybe they are still wondering what direction to head into

Ep. 250 - Silent Nights and Glossy Postcards

Good Guys Talk Back ·

2023/12/11

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. We are celebrating Episode 250. The Sox were quiet during the winter meetings. They made a couple acquisitions but nothing monumental. Despite the nothingness, the Sox sent out postcards to former season ticket holders begging for them to come back. Big, glossy postcards. Chris Getz continues to play up the weak division narrative and Pedro Grifol gives a lesson on chemistry. Do you believe? Thank you for the continued support, Go Sox

Ep. 249 - Winter Wonderland-ings

Good Guys Talk Back ·

2023/12/04

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. As the winter meetings get going in Nashville, we are kicking off Season 6 of the podcast. Thank you for the continued support over the years. It's an important off-season for Chris Getz and the White Sox. To proceed into the the new direction while searching for that new identity, will Getz part ways with Dylan Cease or even Luis Robert, Jr. to help achieve his vision? When will the Sox be good again and what does that even mean? It's

Ep. 248 - DeJong and the Restless

Good Guys Talk Back ·

2023/11/27

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Did Thanksgiving produce any White Sox conversations? Anybody itching to discuss the big Paul DeJong deal or maybe the Oscar Colas workout video? Since we last spoke, the Sox made a few minor acquisitions and continue to be linked to players like Whit Merrifield. It's not a rebuild, it's a reset. With the winter meetings looming, will the Sox be proactive and get a deal done ahead of time? It's almost time for Getz to start manifesting

Ep. 247 - A Trade and Rumors of Trades

Good Guys Talk Back ·

2023/11/20

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. The Sox got things going early and traded Aaron Bummer to the Atlanta Braves for a handful of players. There are some pitching opportunities coming back to the Sox and local boy, Nicky Lopez, will also finally be on the White Sox. Who could be next? Rumors swirl that the LA Dodgers are interested in Dylan Cease. Chris Getz has a definite vision and maybe Eloy Jimenez does not fit into that plan and he is the next to go. Our very own Pat Hester has

Ep. 246 - New Visions but Same Problem

Good Guys Talk Back ·

2023/11/13

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. The White Sox announced their 2024 coaching staff and the new hitting coach will be Marcus Thames. It seems like a vision of better situational hitting is shared by both Getz and Thames. Tony La Russa is still around in an advisory role and are the Sox listening to offers on Dylan Cease? Chris Getz does not like the team and Jerry Reinsdorf apparently did not care for Sox play-by-play man Jason Benetti... or at least those are the rumors. Benetti is

Ep. 245 - The Decline of an Option

Good Guys Talk Back ·

2023/11/06

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. The Chicago White Sox declined options on Liam Hendriks AND Tim Anderson. Mike Clevinger declined his option with the team and the Sox said thank you to Elvis Andrus and Yasmani Grandal. Dan Plesac from the MLB Network called the White Sox a sleeping giant in 2024 and Chris Getz talked about everything that needs to be done to get the Sox back on track. The Rangers are the World Series champs but it's doubtful that the Sox will be able to copy

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Nick and Pat talk World Series and if the Chicago White Sox can replicate what the Texas Rangers or Arizona Diamondbacks have done over the last few years. The Sox have hired Matt Wise to be the new bullpen coach. His previous stint was with the Los Angeles Angels and it did not receive favorable reviews from some Angel fans. To keep with the season, Nick and Pat poured over some of the scary stats from the 2023 Sox season. There were no shortage of

2023/10/23

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Nick and Pat weigh in on Kim Ng leaving the Miami Marlins while also trying to handicap the chances that she comes back to the Chicago White Sox. The Philadelphia Phillies are a fun team and resemble the type of ball club we wanted on the South Side. Missing out on Bryce Harper will always be maddening. It's celebrate the 2005 White Sox World Series week! Embrace the memories, the memorabilia and the DVD. If the Sox keep poaching from the

2023/10/16

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Ever since Pedro Grifol was hired back in November of 2022, the Kansas City Royals/Chicago White Sox connections have continued to develop and the latest rumor oozes Royals blue. According to sources, the White Sox may pursue Salvador Perez and/or Whit Merrifield this offseason. Perez is not a free agent and is owed a considerable amount of money. Merrfield, on the other hand, has a club option. Perez and Grifol have a solid relationship and the Sox

Ep. 240 - Deep Dive Through Garbage

Good Guys Talk Back ·

2023/10/02

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. The nightmare of a season is finally over. The Chicago White Sox finished the season (61-101) and it was just the 5th time in franchise history that the Sox lost 100 games. We heard from the executives this past week and got a sense of what the focus might be as the offseason begins. Luis Robert Jr. finished the year on the injured list and Yoan Moncada finished things on a high note. The Sox have several question marks in terms of roster spots

Pedro Grifol has talked about the talent being good on this Sox team but everything has to change and nothing good came out of this season

Good Guys Talk Back ·

2023/09/11

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. The Sox went (2-4) since our last episode... losing a series to Detroit and also Kansas City. The Sox are (2-7) under the Chris Getz regime. Has Pedro Grifol lost control of the ball club or did he even have any control to begin with? What's the 'White Sox Way' and how can Chris Getz possibly redefine that along with all the other tasks he has on his plate? Yoan Moncada has been swinging the bat well the last few weeks... is it possible
