Sox In The Basement

White Sox 2022 Position Player Outlook

We take a look at regular season and playoff performances to formulate a simple plan for the front office before the 2022 season. Let's find out what positions should be fixed in free agency, and what positions will likely require an off-season trade. We embrace the negatives and find the positives in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

White Sox 2022 Pitching Outlook

Let's take a look at the White Sox pitchers. Who's up for arbitration? Who are you keeping? Would you trade, buy-out or keep Craig Kimbrel? Is the best "Dallas Keuchel-type" pitcher actually still Dallas Keuchel? Would you give Carlos Rodon a qualifying offer and even get in a bidding war for his services? We look at what worked, what didn't, what needs to change and what can stay the same going into 2022 with White Sox pitchers.

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.
