Episode Notes
Rundown
- [Intro] Audio from White Sox manager Will Venable about tracking progress in his first season, and how Colson Montgomery has adjusted to life in the major leagues. Montgomery shared why staying short to the ball has been fueling his early success.
- [5:27] Speaking of Montgomery, he's hit a home run in three consecutive games, and the White Sox have scored 45 runs in their last six games. If the White Sox, who are averaging 5.45 runs per game post All-Star Break, are a legit five runs per game offense does that change the rebuild trajectory?
- [32:09] With a lot of attention on the offense, it's nice to see Davis Martin post good outings in back-to-back starts.
- [36:46] According to Bob Nightengale, the 2026 MLB schedule will be released on Tuesday.
- [38:00] Series Preview: Kansas City Royals. Surprise! It's the same pitching matchups as last week. Does that mean we'll see more runs scored by the White Sox?
- [44:23] Around MLB: Zach Wheeler injury, the Houston Astros keep getting away with it, and the Colorado Rockies progress to avoid worst team ever.
