Sox In The Basement

When you look at the teams winning in the 2022 MLB Postseason, one of them is a mirror image to the White Sox in how they were constructed. When you look at who the White Sox should mimic going forward, though, it is a different postseason team. Let's look through the roster and find some offseason spending money too.

The White Sox are interviewing managers, and other potential managers are doing their rounds in the media. Two very different types of managers have been interviewed so far. We've found our front-runner thus far. Plus, we examine the new shift rules in 2023 and ask if any White Sox player will see a positive impact. One Sox hitter projects to benefit, while a few others may not see much of a difference. Brought to you by Family Waterproofing Solutions! Listen. Subscribe. Share.

Before you remake a team, you have to determine who has their arrow pointing up and who has their arrow pointing down. We're running through the roster with White Sox players poised for better seasons in 2023. Not everyone is going to improve, though. We're also asking if celebrating a single postseason win in 2021 is healthy for fans wanting so much more. Brought to you by Family Waterproofing Solutions! Listen. Subscribe. Share.

Covering the 2022 White Sox was difficult. Scot Gregor of the Daily Herald talks about "one of the most painful seasons that [he has] ever had to go through" while predicting if Jose Abreu is leaving, and if AJ Pollock is staying. Hear his thoughts on not getting to question Jerry Reinsdorf at this week's press conference as well. Meanwhile we sat down with a group of White Sox season ticket holders to find out what they think of this season all while drinking free beer at the ballpark.

Two years after a press conference announcing the type of manager he was looking for, Rick Hahn was basically saying the same thing again as Tony La Russa retired on Monday. What confidence do you have the same decision-makers can achieve better results? James Fox of FutureSox joins us with a managerial wishlist and who he believes is already out of the running. The process, though, may already have flaws if the team doesn't substantially change how they've formed a dugout in the past. We've got your "30 Minutes of Sox!"

We have a fun baseball conversation because it has nothing to do with the White Sox. Then we're jumping into some questions that need to be answered: Do you blame the players or the team when you hear about training issues and injuries that were handled poorly? What stops the White Sox from operating like the Dodgers, Yankees, Astros or Padres?

After losing a realistic chance of making the postseason, the White Sox have started to show an even deeper team issue. We break down a roster that isn't as young as you may think, and start to form a picture of what has to be done this offseason. One thing for sure is the franchise needs a new marketing phrase, because they didn't come close to changing the game. We present an alternative team slogan in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

A lost season. A frustrated fanbase. The 2022 White Sox underperformed. The team was set up, though, by a series of bad decisions from the front office. We break down the defining moments over the past few years that brought the White Sox to this point. Before addressing positional needs and a few bad contracts, should ownership replace the decision-makers? Let's rip the bandage off and get into it with "30 Minutes of Sox!"

The White Sox will essentially face three elimination games in a row versus Cleveland this week, and Miguel Cairo has to manage each game as a must-win. Meanwhile, we are also visiting with Scott White of CBS Sports. The fantasy baseball guru talks about MLB's new rules starting in 2023, how those rules will change the game, and what types of players should see a production increase.

It isn't over. Not by a long shot. But it also isn't a sure thing. James Fegan of The Athletic gives us his take on Cairo's impact, the honest chances of the White Sox winning this division, and if Tony La Russa can realistically return to his job in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

Using baseball's version of the scientific method, the Tony La Russa hire was a failed experiment. Now the White Sox must look at his health, the results of changing managers and how they can spin this season to fans by making a final decision on La Russa's fate. The worst thing they can do is allow this to linger and let Tony's status become a distraction. Brought to you by Family Waterproofing Solutions! Listen. Subscribe. Share.

Since Miguel Cairo took over, the White Sox may be the best team in the A.L. Central. Wait, is that Tony La Russa trying to work his way back? Elvis Andrus is playing really well and would move to another position upon Tim Anderson's return. Meanwhile there are a few under-performing players with large contracts that may be in the way. Will the White Sox put the best performers in a position to take this division, or will the organization get in its own way? Brought to you by Family Waterproofing Solutions! Listen. Subscribe.

The "Fire Tony" chants have turned into "Sell The Team" banners as White Sox fans are done with those running the organization. We know that Jerry Reinsdorf isn't leaving until the bitter end, but he should pay attention to his legacy. Meanwhile White Sox fans are debating if they want to bring back Jose Abreu this offseason, but the mistake may be believing he wants to come back.

The White Sox have gone outside the box and launched "Project Birmingham" in an attempt to focus on prospect growth. We ask questions of James Fox from FutureSox about the prospects, what the baseball world thinks of this Chris Getz plan, and if he has any wild theories about something that sounds like a plot from Stranger Things or the X-Files.

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. If they do find a way to win the division, though, Johnny Cueto is the team MVP. Let's examine why the team is following Johnny, and if they have reached the turning point we've been waiting for all season.

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.

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.

The White Sox ballpark experience reminds us of a zombie movie, players are underperforming badly & Tony La Russa has lost touch with reality. The boo-birds have been out this homestand and we are here for it. But, those boos are not for the players!
