Episode Notes
Rundown
- [Intro] The Chicago White Sox won a road series at Cincinnati in thanks to excellent pitching performances from Jonathan Cannon and Davis Martin. Are their arsenals getting better? Or are the Reds that bad at hitting? With the White Sox starters ERA now ranked 12th in MLB, does that grant more confidence in their overall ability?
- [11:15] Chase Meidroth, Edgar Quero, and Matt Thaiss all have impressive OBP, but very low slugging percentages. When will opposing teams stop nibbling and challenge these hitters in the zone?
- [24:54] White Sox trade for reliever Miguel Castro and claim infielder Vinny Capra
- [34:03] Series Preview: Chicago Cubs. Can the White Sox pitchers hold up against the Cubs very good lineup?
- [43:54] Luis Robert Jr. trade standing gets shakier. How many teams would offer multiple FV 45 grade prospects for Robert at this stage?
