Rundown
Intro: White Sox stuck in neutral since All-Star Break
4:00: When do the White Flag games end?
6:38: Do we agree on how TLR is handing out days off?
11:15: Cesar Hernandez’s struggles
18:38: In-game decision review: Craig Kimbrel being lifted vs. Rays
33:35: Toronto Blue Jays series preview
35:56: Will Carlos Rodon and Yasmani Grandal return for this series?
47:56: P.O. Sox
So while I'm done with Keuchel as an option for the post-season roster, what do you think of starting up a 6 man rotation with Rodon coming back?
Where do you bat Moncada in the lineup upon Grandal’s return and otherwise healthy roster?
Who do you predict the Sox will add to the 40 man roster and protect from the Rule 5 draft this upcoming off-season?
63:28: Bonus P.O. Sox (Patreon only version)
Romy Gonzalez — overachieving minor leaguer or Sox second baseman of the future?
Do you think La Russa and his staff are gaining valuable experience with replay challenges, or will what we saw this week be an ominous sign of what we'll get in October?
Who would you pitch in a high leverage situation if you HAD to pick from Wright Jr., Ruiz, or Charlotte's Matt Foster?
How do you think the Sox will manage the reduced expansion of September rosters? Hamilton and Grandal appear to be the natural choices for the two extra spots and that would mean no extra reliever or no chance for Adolfo to get some at-bats during his last option year. Will there be creative IL stints to rotate people in and out?
