Ep. 347 - Not Yet Koch Level
2w ago01:04:50Tap to summarizeHey Sox fans! Wow, what a tough week for our Chicago White Sox. They got roughed up in New York and then embarrassed themselves in Detroit. Was Will Venable over managing in the Detroit finale? Can we trust Domiguez as a closer? The Sox need to have a short memory and soak up the energy of the South Side because Cleveland will be a tough foe. Kyle Teel is looking more and more like he's ready for his 2026 Sox debut. Maybe Schultz in the not too distance future? After a tough week, the Sox are just one game out in the division and two games over .500. The sky is not falling and the clock has not struck midnight. They need to get back to the infectious brand of Sox baseball and they will be fine. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

3w ago01:04:52Tap to summarizeSox fans! Our Chicago White Sox just had one amazing week. The Sox took two of two from the Atlanta Braves then took two of three from the LA Dodgers. Outstanding performances from Davis Martin, Chase Meidroth and the new kid on the block: Braden Montgomery. The Sox are tied with Cleveland at the top of the Central and have a big week on the road in New York and Detroit. This team is special and with Teel on his way, it's a great time to be buyers. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox! #WhiteSox
Transcribe →Ep. 345 - There Might Not Be A Tomorrow
4w ago01:05:47Tap to summarizeSox fans! Welcome back to a brand new episode. Our Chicago White Sox had a rough week on the road. They went (2-4) against Minnesota and Philadelphia. Sox offense continues to produce even without Murakami. Antonacci and Peters are a joy to watch and even Benintendi has stepped it up. The rest of the month is very tough and without reliable pitching, it will be a disaster. The Sox need to get more consistent outings from their starters and far better performances from their relievers. Should Getz buy at the deadline? What are you willing to mortgage? Live like there's no tomorrow or be patient and build for the future? Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox
Transcribe →Ep. 344 - Five over and One back
Jun 101:03:44Tap to summarizeSox fans! Welcome back to having fun as a Chicago White Sox fan. The Sox swept the Tigers and took three of four from the Twins. Our South Siders are 11-3 against the AL Central and are trailing the Guardians by one game. The injury to Murakami is a big deal and the Sox will miss him greatly but guys will step up to fill the void. This White Sox club is not a one trick pony. Jacob Gonzalez and David Sandlin have joined the party and more are still to come. June will be a very tough month but it will be a good challenge. One battle at a time. Here's to having fun again! Go Sox. #WhiteSox
Transcribe →Ep. 343 - Make hay to end May
May 2501:02:36Tap to summarizeSox fans! Happy Memorial Day weekend. Our Chicago White Sox find themselves at .500 as the unofficial start of summer hits. The Sox were in a much different spot last year so should we just be happy they are (26-26) or is it okay to want a little more. After a rough trip out west, the Sox head back home and host a pair of AL Central rivals: The Twins and the Tigers. June will be a difficult month of baseball so its important for the Sox to make hay for the rest of May. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox
Transcribe →Ep. 342 - The White Sox are Legit
May 1801:06:46Tap to summarizeSox fans! What a week and what a weekend. Our Chicago White Sox swept the pesky Kansas City Royals then took 2 of 3 from the North Siders in dramatic fashion. This series had absolutely everything and the Sox are now making a name for themselves beyond the city limits. There is still work to be done as our Sox trail the Guardians by one game in the division. For now though, the White Sox head west to battle Seattle then San Francisco. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox
Transcribe →Ep. 341 - No Apologies
May 1101:04:08Tap to summarizeSox fans! Our Chicago White Sox are just one game out of the AL Central and despite being a couple of games under .500, there is no need to apologize. This is where the division is at and right now, it's there for the Sox to grab. Mune, Vargas, Martin, Hudson and Colson made this past week very fun. Do you want to see Murakami in the HR Derby? What about the Sox as deadline buyers? What should the Sox mortgage to win an underwhelming division? Soxtober does not come around very often. Big week with the Royals and Cubs heading to the South Side. Cinch it up and strap it down. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox
Transcribe →Ep. 340 - West Coast Warriors
May 401:02:10Tap to summarizeHey Sox fans! What a week for our Sox. The Chicago White Sox sweep the Angels then went out west and took two of three from the Padres. The Sox attacked with the long ball and then demonstrated their versatility with some small ball while getting great pitching from Schultz and Burke. The Sox are fun to watch and are giving us something to believe in right now. Just two games under .500 as the Sox battle the Angels before starting a long homestand. Can we see the Sox get over the hump and find their way to the top of the AL Central? Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox
Transcribe →Ep. 339 - Flirting with a month of .500 baseball
Apr 2701:01:40Tap to summarizeSox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Our Chicago White Sox left some wins on the table this past weekend but are actually close to being a .500 team in the month of April. The Sox have not hit the 11 win mark after 28 games since 2022. That year they finished the season 81-81. Murakami had a big week and Montgomery joined in on the long ball fun. The inability to win in extra innings or even just win at home is maddening. The beatable Angels come to town for three then the Sox are off to San Diego. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox
Transcribe →Ep. 338 - Mune Goes Far, Team Goes Far
Apr 2001:02:50Tap to summarizeSox fans! Our Chicago White Sox took two of three from the A's after being swept away by the Rays. Murakami put on an absolute show in Sacramento. He kicked off the series with a moonshot and hit three home runs in three games. Noah Schultz pitched twice since our last episode. His debut was forgettable but his outing in the series finale against the A's was a nice rebound. Sox continued to infuriate with runners in scoring position and nobody out while also giving us heartaches with bullpen meltdowns. After an up and down week, the Sox have not made it to the 8 win mark this quickly in four years. Feel the momentum. #WhiteSox
