Sox In The Basement

White Sox Could Change Fantasy To Reality

The White Sox will essentially face three elimination games in a row versus Cleveland this week, and Miguel Cairo has to manage each game as a must-win. Meanwhile, we are also visiting with Scott White of CBS Sports. The fantasy baseball guru talks about MLB's new rules starting in 2023, how those rules will change the game, and what types of players should see a production increase. (Hint: The White Sox have a couple of hitters who should see a boost.)

James Fegan & A World Of White Sox ”Must Wins”

It isn't over. Not by a long shot. But it also isn't a sure thing. James Fegan of The Athletic gives us his take on Cairo's impact, the honest chances of the White Sox winning this division, and if Tony La Russa can realistically return to his job in "30 Minutes of Sox!" We ask if the new MLB rules for 2023 make some of these guys better, and also figure out that any great postseason run needs a little bit of luck.

White Sox Must Resolve Their Tony Problem

Using baseball's version of the scientific method, the Tony La Russa hire was a failed experiment. Now the White Sox must look at his health, the results of changing managers and how they can spin this season to fans by making a final decision on La Russa's fate. The worst thing they can do is allow this to linger and let Tony's status become a distraction.

Only The White Sox Can Stop The White Sox

Since Miguel Cairo took over, the White Sox may be the best team in the A.L. Central. Wait, is that Tony La Russa trying to work his way back? Elvis Andrus is playing really well and would move to another position upon Tim Anderson's return. Meanwhile there are a few under-performing players with large contracts that may be in the way. Will the White Sox put the best performers in a position to take this division, or will the organization get in its own way?

White Sox Fans Wait On Reinsdorf To Act

The "Fire Tony" chants have turned into "Sell The Team" banners as White Sox fans are done with those running the organization. We know that Jerry Reinsdorf isn't leaving until the bitter end, but he should pay attention to his legacy. Meanwhile White Sox fans are debating if they want to bring back Jose Abreu this offseason, but the mistake may be believing he wants to come back. We're also finding positives in Corn In The Basement with Michael Suareo of Sox On 35th in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

Project Birmingham: A White Sox Initiative

The White Sox have gone outside the box and launched "Project Birmingham" in an attempt to focus on prospect growth. We ask questions of James Fox from FutureSox about the prospects, what the baseball world thinks of this Chris Getz plan, and if he has any wild theories about something that sounds like a plot from Stranger Things or the X-Files. We also get pretty angry with Tony La Russa after he puts his team and Michael Kopech in a terrible spot on Monday. Join us for "30 Minutes of Sox!"

Elvis & The Naked White Sox

The White Sox won five in a row including the first two against Houston, and then they finished that series with only a split. With a limited number of games remaining, they cannot let chances to gain ground keep slipping away. We've got a new prospect to watch with Corn In The Basement. We also discuss the Elvis Andrus addition, messy sandwiches in the 300 Level, and who is likely attending a team meeting naked in "30 Minutes of Sox!"
