Sox In The Basement

The White Sox won five in a row including the first two against Houston, and then they finished that series with only a split. With a limited number of games remaining, they cannot let chances to gain ground keep slipping away. We've got a new prospect to watch with Corn In The Basement. We also discuss the Elvis Andrus addition, messy sandwiches in the 300 Level, and who is likely attending a team meeting naked in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

Dylan Cease, Jose Abreu, Andrew Vaughn. There are several White Sox players trying to push this White Sox team to the top of the AL Central.

Let's examine why the team is following Johnny, and if they have reached the turning point we've been waiting for all season. Plus, let's take a closer look at deep issues that have worked against this talented team and what will have to change this offseason. Brought to you by Family Waterproofing Solutions! Listen.

Scott Merkin of MLB.com joins us to talk about the brilliance of Dylan Cease (and his mustache), why the White Sox ace is generally deployed for six innings per start, and what changes could happen if the Sox miss the postseason. We're also basking in the glory of Andrew Vaughn's bat while asking why he isn't batting second regularly. Do you have a core of untouchable players on this team? Is it the same as our core?

As Tony La Russa and White Sox management correct some issues and see results, there are a few storylines you may not immediately notice that could have a big impact on how the team does in the stretch run. The usage of Lance Lynn, Dylan Cease and other pitchers asks if they are judged by innings pitched over pitches thrown. We'll talk about a small trend with bigger implications.

Always the bridesmaid and never the bride, the Chicago White Sox get to the trade deadline still hovering at .500 with a seat at the table for big acquisitions. Unfortunately, they don't normally walk away with anything impactful. We look at why the Sox have such a hard time getting the players they need, and ask if an unlikely front office hero is already in the organization just waiting for an opportunity. Plus, why new White Sox RP Jake Diekman could frustrate depending on his use. Brought to you by Family Waterproofing Solutions! Listen. Subscribe. Share.

The trade deadline approaches, and the White Sox are expected buyers. In addition to trade targets, we look at adjustments that can be made right now with current personnel as the Sox continue to hang out at or around .500. A possible bullpen solution sits in AAA. As Luis Robert recovers there is an optimal outfield setup. This team may look very similar to the 2016 team that sparked the rebuild, but it isn't exactly like that squad.

The White Sox should be right on the heels of the Twins, which is a weird place to find optimism. That said, championship teams use their 40-man roster to push for titles.

The White Sox took a likely 4-2 (possibly 5-1) homestand and turned it into a 2-4 debacle. The manager seems lost. High-end talent is playing at a low level. The organization looks bad from top to bottom. In the middle of it all there is a great story in Jake Burger.

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! We also talk lineup construction with seven or eight clear everyday core starters. And it looks like we have a winner for the $1000 Guest Bounty just before the White Sox kick off their run at a World Series title. Brought to you by Family Waterproofing Solutions! Listen.

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.

We take to task the lying and greed that has ripped away a glorious spring of baseball, and insulted intelligent fans everywhere.
