Episode Summary
Chicago White Sox bash eight home runs on their way to winning a road series in Sacramento
Episode Notes
Rundown
- [Intro] The Chicago White Sox hit eight home runs in their series win at Sacramento. Munetaka Murakami hit three of them and is starting to boom again at the plate. Is his production similar to that of Kyle Schwarber?
- [8:32] Everson Pereira had three doubles and made some nice defensive plays in right field. Can he lock down this outfield position?
- [14:47] Weird Metrics: Colson Montgomery is having way more success hitting in the day versus at night. Is this a thing for hitters preferring to hit in natural sunlight compared to under the lights?
- [20:27] Noah Schultz was excellent in his second career start, allowing one run over five innings. What worked well for him against the Athletics?
- [24:32] Davis Martin is off to a fantastic start in 2026. What's been working for him against right-handed hitters, and despite the good results, what kind of go-to pitch is he searching for to neutralize left-handers?
- [34:08] With how well Hagen Smith has been pitching for Charlotte, is it time for another MLB debut?
- [40:17] Around MLB: The New York Mets have lost 11 games in a row, and Mason Miller is on some type of heater.
