Sox In The Basement

White Sox Leisurely Clinching AL Central

They haven't sealed the deal yet, but the American League Central Division Title basically resides with the White Sox on the South Side again. This is rare, so enjoy it! Carlos Rodon's health may be a big issue moving forward. The team also may not be fully formed like Voltron yet, but their problems are similar to every other postseason team. In fact, we may stack up better than you think as this World Series run begins!

How To Support Your White Sox Team

White Sox fans attending their first postseason games since 2008 may need some in-game etiquette refreshers. We bring in Beefloaf (aka @MrDelicious13) of the infamous fan section The 108 to discuss if and when fans can do The Wave. We also talk about an improving ballpark experience for fans. And a listener question forces us to pull the stats on beanballs in White Sox games to see how the numbers could impact this team going forward.

White Sox Will Not Coast To Postseason

In the middle of a gaggle of moves on Tuesday, one promotion re-opens the question of who will back up Yasmani Grandal in the postseason. Will it be Zack Collins, Seby Zavala or both? The stage is set for the White Sox to make a run for the #2 Seed in the AL, and we'll tell you why they should be able to steal that seed from the Astros. Plus, we feel left out by the MLB schedule-makers as the Sox prepare to clinch on the road.

Are The White Sox ”Clutch” Enough?

The White Sox may have won Friday night 4-3, but their overall record in 1-run games has been bad this year. With the postseason looming, we examine the "clutch" factor. How does this team stack up against probable postseason opponents? Jordan Lazowski from Sox On 35th also joins the show with some positive storylines to watch in the final few weeks.

White Sox About To Lean On La Russa

An inevitable first round opponent likely awaits the Chicago White Sox in the 2021 Postseason. There is history. There are some interesting stats that may give them a slight edge. There is also a Tony La Russa factor. We take a way-to-early look at what a White Sox vs Astros ALDS will look like, and the likely deciding intangible when two evenly matched teams meet next month. Meanwhile the White Sox must keep winning as they gain momentum for the most important part of their year. Home field advantage in their opening series is there for the taking.

Unexpected Finds That Made The White Sox

As the White Sox prepared for 2021 there were several roster positions that needed upgrades. Sometimes by design, but many times via a happy accident the numbers now show they successfully found  some unexpected roster additions. We break it all down and feature the week that Yasmani Grandal took over. His clutch numbers, though, may be the most surprising thing about him this year!

White Sox Wins Still Matter

The White Sox are basically a lock for the AL Central Crown, so do the wins in August and September really matter now? We ask if a lesson from 2020 has really been learned. Meanwhile, Tim Anderson's absense has illustrated his incredible value to the offense. So what makes him the engine that drive this team? We've got strong opinions and a little fun while looking at the White Sox this week.

Dog Day Debates Surrounding The White Sox

Let's look at the justifiable and wacky debates surrounding the White Sox during the dog days of August. A team on the way to their second straight postseason appearance has questions surrounding players like Yoan Moncada, the catching position and if RBI's matter? Really? Maybe some of this stuff isn't worth arguing over, but some of it is definitely worth a look. Scot Gregor from the Daily Herald also gives an inside look at the White Sox this week.
