Sox In The Basement

The White Sox went 0-7 on their recent road trip, but how much of that really falls on manager Tony La Russa? We dig deep to find if managers in MLB actually matter over 162 games and learn something unique about La Russa compared to his historical peers. In between some listener "venting" calls we also look at some individual hitting tendencies thus far in the White Sox lineup. The solution to early offensive woes seems simple to us.

Rick Hahn joins us to answer every question you could possibly have about the White Sox. (That was our April Fools joke.) But Hahn and manager Tony La Russa one-upped us! After a week of controversy surrounding La Russa's comments about fans and no need for a new right fielder, the White Sox traded Craig Kimbrel for AJ Pollock. That's a surprise we can all get behind!

The first shot at the White Sox fanbase this year was fired by manager Tony La Russa on Tuesday when he said fans looking for an addition in right field were "probably the fans who are not White Sox fans." We explore this ridiculous comment by the White Sox skipper before trying to solve the position with players within the organization. We also simplify the good and bad when it comes to Rick Hahn's current roster construction as the White Sox get ready for another 162 game run to the postseason.
