Show notes

Ian Eskridge and James Fox welcomed the PBP voice of the Winston-Salem Dash, Andrew Murphy, to the FutureSox Podcast to preview the upcoming 2024 season. They started off with Noah Schultz talk and moved to the rest of the staff, going in depth on quite a few of the starters. There is a ton of pitching in Winston-Salem, and a lot of quality arms, and they discussed a bunch of names.

On the positional side of things, Jacob Gonzalez was a "lightning rod" in 2023 amongst the fanbase, and there was talk about his upcoming season and what Andrew expects to see. Also they jump into Samuel Zavala and Andrew's interactions with him and the HUGE leg kick. They also jump into who you can expect to see getting major playing time at other positions.

They end the team talk with a bit of conversation on the revamped coaching staff under returning manager Guillermo Quiroz, and then hop into one of Andrew's passions in life: music.

FutureSox Hot Takes & Heaters: Ugly Start Apr 03, 2024

Show notes

Nick Murawski and Danny Miller are back for another Hot Takes & Heaters. The 2024 season has started, and somebody better tell Pedro and the boys FAST. They did a postgame for the White Sox first win. Crochet was dominant and the offense did just enough with RISP to get the job done. They also dipped into the early performances of some of the players including Shewmake, Moncada, and Eloy's injury.
