Shane Smith dazzles in MLB debut, but the Chicago White Sox bullpen ruins everything Apr 02, 2025

Show notes

Rookie pitcher Shane Smith shinned in his MLB debut for the Chicago White Sox. However, reliever Penn Murfee failed to protect a 3-0 lead as he gave up five runs with two outs in the sixth inning. Jordan Leasure allowed a 3-run blast in the ninth as the Minnesota Twins beat the Sox 8-3.

Host Todd Welter goes over how the decision to turn over the game to the bullpen was the right decision. Murfee just did not execute.

Then, White Sox TV play-by-play announcer John Schriffen took a shot at the Pitching Ninja, Rob Friedman on last night's broadcast. The reason it is a big deal is the White Sox pitching director, Brian Bannister, backed the Pitching Ninja on X.

Finally, Todd admits he was loud wrong on Nick Maton being the DH.

Chicago White Sox starting pitching shines despite offensive woes + get more wins against the Twins Mar 31, 2025

Show notes

The Chicago White Sox lost both weekend games to the Los Angeles Angels despite getting good starting pitching from Jonathan Cannon and Davis Martin. A big reason was the White Sox scored just two runs in two games. Up next is the Minnesota Twins, a team the White Sox beat just once last season.

Host Todd Welter discusses the weekend defeats and how a sign of things moving in the right direction is not being the get-right team for the Twins.

Finally, it is Monday, so Todd goes over what happened in the Sox minor league system.

Drew Thorpe's latest setback is helping the White Sox track toward losing the Dylan Cease trade Mar 21, 2025

Show notes

Pitcher Drew Thorpe suffered another setback from his return from elbow surgery last season as he left a minor league spring training start with elbow discomfort. This the latest example of the Dylan Cease trade with the San Diego Padres last year trending toward the White Sox losing this trade.

Steven Wilson already got designated for assignment in the offseason. The hitting prospects the Sox got in the deal, Samuel Zavala, was awful in the minors. The other pitching prospect, Jairo Iriarte, is struggling with his command. It is tracking toward a trade loss for the Sox.

Then host Todd Welter discusses general manager Chris Getz sharing the latest news regarding Luis Robert Jr's trade market. Finally, he touches on Shane Smith making the team. With all the elbow injuries other young Sox hurlers are having, it is a good thing he was added in the Rule 5 Draft.
