- [16:20] Kyle Teel is showing good contact and on-base skills. Is he an example of White Sox coaches wanting hitters to be more aggressive to generate more power?
- [21:29] Miguel Vargas is hitting much better since his cold streak to start July. Is it all about the hands again for Vargas?
- [27:16] A fan question pondering what the White Sox will do if they can't trade Luis Robert Jr.?
- [39:17] Series Preview: Chicago Cubs. Will Friday night be the last start for Adrian Houser with the White Sox?
- [47:57] Since June 1, the White Sox bullpen has been performing a lot better in thanks to Grant Taylor. But other key veteran arms may have shown some value to contending teams that merit more trades for Chris Getz.
