Episode Notes
Rundown
- [Intro] The Chicago White Sox won on Monday in a very convincing fashion and had a chance to take the division lead. But a tough loss on Tuesday and a rough outing on Wednesday feel like a missed opportunity for this young White Sox team. Should fans still take solace in a 3-3 West Coast road trip? Is it a good sign that the team is playing well enough lately that losses are painful again after three consecutive 100-loss seasons?
- [16:59] Noah Schultz had a tough outing on Wednesday. In his last two starts, Schultz has walked more batters than he struck out. Is that a big concern for the rookie?
- [22:28] Davis Martin dominated on Monday and currently ranks third in pitcher WAR according to FanGraphs. Is the slider his new go-to strikeout pitch? What do we make of this start to 2026 for The Dart?
- [32:50] The White Sox traded for reliever Trevor Richards. How does he fit in the White Sox bullpen?
- [36:59] White Sox named Caleb Bonemer and Hagen Smith as April's minor league players of the month. After homering against Gerrit Cole, Bonemer has already matched his home run total from last year. How much longer will Bonemer be with the Winston-Salem Dash?
