Episode Notes
Rundown
- [Intro] Chicago White Sox lose another series, but they played the Houston Astros tough and a few performances spark hope. Miguel Vargas had a monster game on Thursday that demonstrated some nights he's the best position player.
- [5:52] Who do the White Sox want batting with runners in scoring position? While Vargas has a monster OPS, Edgar Quero seems to have a knack in finding holes in the defense to help drive in runs.
- [15:36] Shane Smith in back-to-back starts helped the White Sox beat two of the American League's best in Detroit and Houston. He might not be an "Ace" yet, but the White Sox have found themselves a front line starter
- [26:16] Hello, Grant Taylor. The flamethrower makes his MLB debut and why it's OK to keep him in the bullpen
- [39:24] Series Preview: Texas Rangers. Why Texas reminds me of Buc-ee's, and can the White Sox keep it close against one of the best starting pitching staffs in baseball?
- [52:47] The College World Series starts this weekend, and if there's one game to watch, it's LSU vs. Arkansas on Saturday night.
